Added autotools magic to replace custom check scripts. The previous
checks have been ported to autoconf, and some additional ones have
been added (plus the suggestions from running autoscan). Two files are
created as a result from executing configure script, config/Tools.mk
and config.h.
conf/Tools.mk is included by tools/Rules.mk, and contains most of the
options previously defined in .config, that can now be set passing
parameters or defining environment variables when executing configure
script.
config.h is only used by libxl/xl to detect yajl_version.h.
[ tools/config.sub and config.guess copied from
autotools-dev 20100122.1 from Debian squeeze i386,
which is GPLv2.
tools/configure generated using the included ./autogen.sh
which ran autoconf 2.67-2 from Debian squeeze i386. autoconf
is GPLv3+ but has a special exception for the autoconf output;
this exception applies to us and exempts us from complying
with GPLv3+ for configure, which is good as Xen is GPL2 only.

Currently the command to flush the qemu cache is called alot if there
are no more pages to evict. This causes churn in the logfiles, and qemu
can not release more pages anyway since the last command.
Fix this by remembering the current number of paged-out gfns, if this
number did not change since the last flush command then sending another
new flush command will not free any more gfns.
Remove return code from xenpaging_mem_paging_flush_ioemu_cache() since
errors do not matter, and will be handled elsewhere. Also failure to
send the flush command is not fatal.

The main loop calls xenpaging_wait_for_event_or_timeout() unconditionally
before doing any work. This function calls poll() with a timeout of 100ms. As
a result the page-out process is very slow due to the delay in poll().
Call poll() without timeout so that it returns immediately until the page-out
is done. Page-out is done when either the policy finds no more pages to
nominate or when the requested number of pages is reached.
The condition is cleared when a watch event arrives, so that processing the
new target is not delayed once again by poll().
v2:
- no poll timeout also when large number of evicts is pending

This change is based on an idea by <hongkaixing@huawei.com> and
<bicky.shi@huawei.com>.
Scanning the victims[] array is time consuming with a large number of
target pages. Replace the loop to find the slot in the pagefile which
holds the requested gfn with an index.
Remove the victims array and replace it with a flat array. This array
holds the gfn for a given slot in the pagefile. Adjust all users of the
victims array.
Rename variable in main() from i to slot to clearify the meaning.
Update xenpaging_evict_page() to pass a pointer to xen_pfn_t to
xc_map_foreign_pages().
Update policy_choose_victim() to return either a gfn or INVALID_MFN.

LSB defines runlevel 4 as "reserved for local use, default is
normal/full multiuser"
The current behaviour of insserv in openSuSE 11.4 and SLES11SP2 is that
xencommons gets a symlink in /etc/init.d/rc4.d/ due to the 4 in the
Default-Start: line. As a result insserv will print a warning:
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (2 3 5) of script `xencommons' overwrites defaults (2 3 4 5).
Since the local admin is responsible to create all symlinks manually in
/etc/init.d/rc4.d/ the xencommons script should not automatically enable
itself in runlevel 4.
So, remove the 4 from Default-Start: line.
Note: This change will not automatically remove old/stale xencommon
symlinks in /etc/init.d/rc4.d/ during a package upgrade.

This patch introduces configuration options allowing to built either a
rombios only or a seabios only hvmloader.
Building option ROMs like vgabios or etherboot is only enabled for a
rombios hvmloader, since SeaBIOS takes care or extracting option ROMs
itself from the PCI devices (these option ROMs are provided by the
device model and do not need to be built in hvmloader).
The Makefile in tools/firmware/ now only checks for bcc if rombios is
enabled.
These two configuration options are left on by default to remain
compatible.

Per page operations in the paging, sharing, and access tracking subsystems are
all implemented with domctls (e.g. a domctl to evict one page, or to share one
page).
Under heavy load, the domctl path reveals a lack of scalability. The domctl
lock serializes dom0's vcpus in the hypervisor. When performing thousands of
per-page operations on dozens of domains, these vcpus will spin in the
hypervisor. Beyond the aggressive locking, an added inefficiency of blocking
vcpus in the domctl lock is that dom0 is prevented from re-scheduling any of
its other work-starved processes.
We retain the domctl interface for setting up and tearing down
paging/sharing/mem access for a domain. But we migrate all the per page
operations to use the memory_op hypercalls (e.g XENMEM_*).

If a page is nominated but not evicted,then dom0 accesses the page,it
will change the page's p2mt to be p2m_ram_paging_in,and the req.flags
is MEM_EVENT_FLAG_EVICT_FAIL;so it will fail in p2m_mem_paging_evict()
because of the p2mt;and paging->num_paged_out will not increase in
this case;After the paging process is terminated, the p2mt
p2m_ram_paging_in still remains in p2m table.Once domU accesses the
nominated page,it will result in BSOD or vm'stuck.
The patch adds the dealing of this request to resume the page before
xenpaging is ended.
[ This can happen if p2m_mem_paging_populate() was called by a foreign
domain. In this case MEM_EVENT_FLAG_VCPU_PAUSED is not set and xenpaging
will not sent a response. And in this case the ring is in an
inconsistent state anyway, new requests cant be added, I think. - Olaf ]

When bootloader_args = ['foo', 'bar'], then info->u.pv.bootloader_args =
foo\0
bar\0
\0
Before this patch, 'p++' points to the next character of 'foo\0' and never
comes to 'bar\0' (because of the '\0' in 'foo\0'), so the args will be:
args[0] = 'oo\0'
args[1] = 'o\0'
After this patch, 'p++' points to the next string of pv.bootloader_args, so we
get the correct args:
args[0] = 'foo\0'
args[1] = 'bar\0'
