Harmandeep Kaur 00e110e44a xl: convert main() exit codes to EXIT_[SUCCESS|FAILURE]
Turning main() function exit codes towards using the EXIT_[SUCCESS|FAILURE]
constants, instead of instead of arbitrary numbers or libxl return codes.

Also includes a document comment in xl.h stating xl process should always
return EXIT_FOO and main_* can be treated as main() as if they are returning
a process exit status and not a function return value)

David Scott 0c09b6495e xl: add support for 'channels'
This adds support for channel declarations of the form:

 channel = [ "name=...,connection=...[,path=...][,backend=...]" ]

where 'name' is a label to identify the channel to the frontend.

If 'connection = pty' then the channel is connected to a pty in the
 backend domain
If 'connection = socket' then the channel is connected to a Unix domain
 socket given by 'path = ...' in the backend domain.

This patch also adds the command:

 xl channel-list <domain>

which allows the state of channels to be queried. In particular if
'connection=pty' this will show the path of the pty slave device.

Add a new config var 'remus.default.netbufscript' to xl.conf, that
allows the user to override the default global script used to
setup network buffering.

Note: Network buffering is enabled by default. Disabling network

Roger Pau Monne a0eaa86e75 libxl: add device backend listener in order to launch backends
Add the necessary logic in libxl to allow it to act as a listener for
launching backends in a driver domain, replacing udev (like we already
do on Dom0). This new functionality is acomplished by watching the
domain backend path (/local/domain/<domid>/backend) and reacting to
device creation/destruction.

The way to launch this listener daemon is from xl, using the newly
introduced "devd" command. The command will daemonize by default,
using "xldevd.log" as it's logfile. Optionally the user can force the
execution of the listener in the foreground by passing the "-F"
option to the devd command.

Current backends handled by this daemon include Qdisk, vbd and vif
device types.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 93b241e9d2 libxl: Change claim_mode from bool to int.
During the review it was noticed that it would be better if internally
the claim_mode was held as an 'int' instead of a 'bool'. The reason
is that during the startup of xl, one has call the libxl_defbool_setdefault.
otherwise any usage of claim_mode would result in assert break.

The assert is due to the fact that using defbool without any set
values (either true of false) will cause it hit an assertion.

If we use an 'int' we don't have to worry about it and by default
the value of zero will suffice for checks whether the claim is
enabled or disabled.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk eb42f98a20 xl: 'xl claims' print outstanding per domain claims
This is similar to "xl: 'xl info' print outstanding claims if enabled
(claim_mode=1 in xl.conf)" which exposes the global claim value.

This patch provides the value of the currently outstanding pages
claimed for each domains. This is per domain value which is added
to the global claim value which influences the hypervisors' MM system.

When a claim call is done, a reservation for a specific amount of pages
is set (and this patch lists said number) and also a global value is
incremented. This global value is then reduced as the domain's memory
is populated and eventually reaches zero.

The toolstack (libxc) also sets the domain's claim to zero when the population
of memory has completed as an extra step. Any call to destroy the domain
will also set the domain's claim to zero.

If the reservation cannot be meet the guest creation fails immediately
instead of taking seconds or minutes (depending on the size of the guest)
while the toolstack populates memory.

See patch: "xl: Implement XENMEM_claim_pages support via 'claim_mode'
global config" for details on how it is implemented.

The value fluctuates quite often so the value is stale once it is provided
to the user-space.  However it is useful for diagnostic purposes.

It is printed irregardless of global "claim_mode" option in xl.conf(5).
That is b/c the user might have enabled, launched a guest, and then
disabled the option - and we should still report the correct outstanding
claim value.  The 'man xl' shows the details of this argument.
The output is close to what 'xl list' looks like:

Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)  Claimed
Domain-0                                     0  2047     4     r-----      19.7     0
OL5                                          2  2048     1     --p---       0.0   847
OL6                                          3  1024     4     r-----       5.9     0
Windows_XP                                   4  2047     1     --p---       0.0  1989

[In which it can be seen that the OL5 guest still has 847MB of claimed
memory (out of the total 2048MB where 1191MB has been allocated to
the guest).]

Please note that the 'Mem' column has the cumulative value of outstanding
claims and the total amount of memory that has been allocated to the guest.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk ad0fcc9fe5 xl: Implement XENMEM_claim_pages support via 'claim_mode' global config
The XENMEM_claim_pages hypercall operates per domain and it should be
used system wide. As such this patch introduces a global configuration
option 'claim_mode' that by default is disabled.

If this option is enabled then when a guest is created there will be an
guarantee that there is memory available for the guest. This is an
particularly acute problem on hosts with memory over-provisioned guests
that use tmem and have self-balloon enabled (which is the default option
for them). The self-balloon mechanism can deflate/inflate the balloon
quickly and the amount of free memory (which 'xl info' can show) is stale
the moment it is printed. When claim is enabled a reservation for the
amount of memory ('memory' in guest config) is set, which is then reduced
as the domain's memory is populated and eventually reaches zero.

If the reservation cannot be meet the guest creation fails immediately
instead of taking seconds/minutes (depending on the size of the guest)
while the guest is populated.

Note that to enable tmem type guests, one needs to provide 'tmem' on the
Xen hypervisor argument and as well on the Linux kernel command line.

There are two boolean options:

(0) No claim is made. Memory population during guest creation will be
attempted as normal and may fail due to memory exhaustion.

(1) Normal memory and freeable pool of ephemeral pages (tmem) is used when
calculating whether there is enough memory free to launch a guest.
This guarantees immediate feedback whether the guest can be launched due
to memory exhaustion (which can take a long time to find out if launching
massively huge guests) and in parallel.

[v1: Removed own claim_mode type, using just bool, improved docs, all per
Ian's suggestion]
[v2: Updated the comments]
[v3: Rebase on top 733b9c524d (xl: add vif.default.script)]

Ian Jackson 8d7aec4154 xl: track child processes for the benefit of libxl
Each time xl forks, it needs to record the pid, so that its exit
status can be preserved if it happens that libxl's event loop reaped
it.  Consequently we also have a new wrapper for waitpid, which in
that case returns the previously-reaped status.

When we get a console ready callback from libxl, check to see if we
have spawned but not reaped a previous console client, and if so reap
it now.  (This is necessary to prevent improper use of the xlchild
struct, but has the happy consequence of checking the exit status of
the first console client in the pygrub case.)

Refactor the two calls to libxl_ctx_alloc into a new function
xl_ctx_alloc which also sets the child reaped handler callback.

All of this has the effect of suppressing a message
   unknown child [nnnn] unexpected exited status zero
which would sometimes (depending on a race) appear with `xl create -c'
and pygrub.

  libxl__ev_child_fork, which is the only remaining place where fork
  is called in libxl.

* We provide a new function libxl__ev_child_xenstore_reopen for
  in-libxl children to make the ctx useable for xenstore again.

* Consequently libxl__spawn_record_pid now no longer needs to mess
  about with its own xenstore handle.  As a bonus it can now just use
  libxl__xs_write.

Also, since we have now converted all the forkers in libxl, we can
always honour the fork_replacement childproc hook - so do so.

Ian Campbell e601453ce6 libxl: Remove libxl_tmem_destroy and associated xl command
Dan Magenheimer explains in <4c2f7fca-dda2-4598-aaab-3a6a3fe532cd@default>:

	I think the tmem_destroy functionality pre-dates the
	existence of tmem "freeable" memory* and was a way for
	a toolset to force the hypervisor to free up the hypervisor
	memory used by some or all ephemeral tmem pools.  Once the
	tmem allocation/free process was directly linked into
	alloc_heap_pages() in the hypervisor (see call to
	tmem_relinquish_pages()), this forcing function was
	no longer needed.

	So, bottom line, I *think* it can be ripped out, or at least
	for now removed from the definition of the stable xl API/UI.
	The libxl.c routine libxl_tmem_destroy() could also be
	removed if you like, but I guess I'd prefer to leave the
	lower level droppings in xc.c and in the hypervisor in case
	I am misremembering.

Accordingly remove this interface from libxl and xl but don't touch libxc or
the hypervisor.

This is the only libxl_tmem_* function which might potentially have required
conversion to be asynchronous and which therefore might have been a potential
API stability concern.

Ian Jackson 3d2a8f74e6 libxl: abolish libxl_ctx_postfork
libxl's task has become too complicated (particularly in the presence
of both forking and multithreading) to support reuse of the same
libxl_ctx after fork.

So abolish libxl_ctx_fork.  xl instead simply initialises a new
libxl_ctx.

Currently guests created with the xl stack will have "xenbr0"
written as their default into xenstore. It can be changed in

have that default globally changed.

Add a config option to xl.conf that allows to have a different

Ian Campbell 9faa8b12d8 xl: use json output by default
Move the sxp producing code off into a separate file. It is supported
for legacy reasons and needn't be updated other than the improve
compatibility with xm.

libxl_domain_config is not currently generated by the IDL (adding the
necessary support for Array types is on my to do list) so hand code
the json generation function for now.

Since this rather directly exposes a libxl data structure it's not
clear what sort of forward compatibility guarantees we can
make. However it seems like it should be as stable as libxl's own API
(which we are looking to stabilise)

(Gratuitous string.h include needed for memset in libxl_util.h)

Only minimal semantical checks of parameters.

Ian Jackson deaa319f11 tools: xl: more const-correctness
The implementation of xl was lacking a lot of consts on its char*s.
In this patch we improve matters.  It doesn't fix everything.  In
particular:

  * I only changed char*s and not other structs that ought to be const.

  * libxl_send_debug_keys should take a const char* but the pointer
    ends up getting sent to DECLARE_HYPERCALL_BOUNCE from xc_private.h
    and that won't take a const char*.  I wasn't sure what to do so
    I have left it.

  * There is a great deal of in-place string tokenisation (both
    ad-hoc, and using strtok_r).  I haven't changed any of that.

  * I haven't changed any of the occurrences of char **argv because of
    the castless assignment incompatibility between const char** and
    char **.
