When the property "clock-frequency" is present in the DT timer node, it
means that the bootloader/firmware didn't correctly configure the
CNTFRQ/CNTFRQ_EL0 on each processor.
The best solution would be to fix the offending firmware/bootloader,
although it may not always be possible to modify and re-flash it.
As it's not possible to trap the register CNTFRQ/CNTFRQ_EL0, we have
to extend xen_arch_domainconfig to provide the timer frequency to the
toolstack when the property "clock-frequency" is present to the host DT
timer node. Then, a property "clock-frequency" will be created in the guest
DT timer node if the value is not 0.
We could have set the property in the guest DT no matter if the property
is present in the host DT. Although, we still want to let the guest
using CNTFRQ in normal case. After all, the property "clock-frequency"
is just a workaround for buggy firmware.
Also add a stub for fdt_property_u32 which is not present in libfdt <
1.4.0 used by distribution such as Debian Wheezy.

Allow the user to pass additional nodes to the guest device tree. For
this purpose, everything in the node /passthrough from the partial
device tree will be copied into the guest device tree.
The node /aliases will be also copied to allow the user to define
aliases which can be used by the guest kernel.
A simple partial device tree will look like:
/dts-v1/;
/ {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
passthrough {
compatible = "simple-bus";
ranges;
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
/* List of your nodes */
}
};
Note that:
* The interrupt-parent property will be added by the toolstack in
the root node
* The properties compatible, ranges, #address-cells and #size-cells
in /passthrough are mandatory.
The helpers provided by the libfdt don't perform all the necessary
security check on a given device tree. Therefore, only trusted device
tree should be used.
Note: The partial device tree code requires the presence of libfdt
functions which have been only correctly exported in libfdt 1.4.0 and
higher. All the major distributions but Debian Wheezy are using v1.4.0
or higher. It has been decided to disable partial device tree support on
OSes where libfdt doesn't meet the requirement.

* The prototype exists but the functions are not exposed. Don't ask

Note that the _hidden attribute is placed in both the prototype and the

This adds the systemd xen service / module files and integrates
support into the build system.
This goes in with AX_AVAILABLE_SYSTEMD() which will enable
systemd if development libraries have been found on your
build system. If you don't have systemd on target systems
for binaries built with systemd then the binary will not
work, you must explicitly disable systemd support if you
do not want to build systemd support.
When systemd libraries are present only systems that
have booted into systemd go through the systemd initialization,
otherwise the SysVinit is used.
These are originally based on the Fedora systemd files.
Changes made from Fedora's systemd files:
* split sockets into two files to claim different permissions
* Use /bin/sh -c exec to for a simple launcher implementation
* enables systemd socket activation for C xenstored and Ocaml
oxenstored
* use sd_notify(), so change the service to Type=notify, because of
this we remove the PIDFile specification as we don't care for it, and let
systemd do its magic for us, this also means we don't have to fork
so we use --no-fork with systemd
* defines a modules-load.d, its original source file will be shared
between systemd and old init systems
* simplify service files with ConditionVirtualization=xen which uses
the built in systemd virtualization backend detection, these
service files will not be available to start on systems that do not
boot with xen as a hypervisor
* use autoconf to replace @variable@ paths for us which piggy
backs on top of the latest autoconf changes to xen
* removes oxenstored service file in favor of a system variable which
controls which which xentored to use at run time, we avoid multiple
service files this way.
* simplifies startup to not require polling on the sockets
as initial socket management is handled by systemd, we just
take on the socket later once anything pokes at it, a simple nc -U
(as root) on any of the sockets files can activate the service for example.
Anything queued up will be sent to us once we start. Socket activation
should in theory also let us dynamically switch between xenstores but more
importantly we could upgrade xenstored while keeping all active
socket communication queued up, but in order to take advantage of
this we eventually would need to remove the requirement of not being
able to bring down the xenstored. Even though active sockets are
supported since most libxl communication doesn't triggger a check
on the unix socket first administrators are encouraged to enable
the xenstored.service to triggger an initialization of the xenstored
upon bring up. Some systems also never use unix sockets for
communication with the xenstored and as such active sockets will
not be used there.
* allow for xenstored configuration through *either* of these
configuration files:
- /etc/sysconfig/xenstored
- /etc/default/xenstored
The /etc/default/xenstored will let debian based systems do
the same, while SUSE/OpenSUSE/Fedora/RedHat can keep on chugging
with sysconfig. We leave these files all commented out by default
though given that for systemd we want to encourage not using them.
* ensures we create the run directory as most systems will likely
be using a tmpfs for run dirs for the pid files
* Some systems define the selinux context in the systemd Option for the
/var/lib/xenstored tmpfs:
Options=mode=755,context="system_u:object_r:xenstored_var_lib_t:s0"
For the upstream version we remove that and let systems specify the
context on their system /etc/default/xenstored or /etc/sysconfig/xenstored
$XENSTORED_MOUNT_CTX variable, with a default to none.
* takes advantage of the shared xendomains helper for the xendomains
service
* Add the new dom0 that gets kicked off for disk backend access into
its own systemd service associated to xen
We end up with these systemd files:
General requirements:
* proc-xen.mount
* var-lib-xenstored.mount
xenstored:
* xenstored.service
* xenstored.socket
* xenstored_ro.socket
* xenconsoled.service
* xen-qemu-dom0-disk-backend.service.in
Optional:
* xendomains.service
* xen-watchdog.service
As for integration with xen, we house keep all the systemd files
under a new directory tools/hotplug/Linux/systemd/ and will be targeted
by default when building on Linux systems if systemd development
libraries are present at build time.
The systemd files will be sanitized for meta @VARIABLES@ upon
configuration and installed upon the install target. Systems that
do not use systemd can still get systemd service unit files installed
if the build system enabled systemd support, this however does not
mandate a requirement of having systemd libraries present. Old init
scripts are always installed.
If you don't specify a prefix you will end up with the services
files under /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/ by default, and systemd
modules-load.d conf files under /usr/local/lib/modules-load.d/ which
systemd does look for (although it seems this is not documented).
Distributions are expected to provide their /usr/ prefix to end up in
the more generic location upon distribution install at
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ and /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ respectively.

Now that we have upstream qemu people may want to avoid building this extra
code.
There is a little bit of trickery in stubdom/configure.ac to ensure that the
ioemu stubdom is only built if qemu-traditional is enabled.
libxl will return an error if a caller tries to build a domain using
qemu-xen-traditional when this support was disabled at build time. Since
qemu-xen-traditional has been historically tightly bound to the Xen releases I
don't see any value in supporting "3rd party" provision of
qemu-xen-traditional.

Also it has caused confusion because it is not ever wanted on ARM, but the

getconf is not cross-compile friendly since it reports the features of the host

AC_SYS_LARGEFILE arranges for #defines to appear in config.h however Xen's
build system expects these to be part of C{PP}FLAGS. Since I'm not confident
that everything in Xen includes config.h I instead arrange for the result of

CentOS 5.x forked e2fs ext4 support into a different package called
e4fs, and so headers and library names changed from ext2fs to ext4fs.
Check if ext4fs/ext2fs.h and -lext4fs work, and use that instead of
ext2fs to build libfsimage. This patch assumes that if the ext4fs
library is present it should always be used instead of ext2fs.
This patch includes a rework of the ext2fs check, a new ext4fs check
and a minor modification in libfsimage to use the correct library.

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.
