The vGIC will emulate the same version as the hardware. The toolstack has
to retrieve the version of the vGIC in order to be able to create the
corresponding device tree node.
A new DOMCTL has been introduced for ARM to configure the domain. For now
it only allow the toolstack to retrieve the version of vGIC.
This DOMCTL will be extend later to let the user choose the version of the
emulated GIC.

Since the callback is within the scope of the (e)gc and therefore doesn't need
to be malloc'd, a gc'd alloc will do. All other assignments to this field use

[ ijc -- updated comment in libxl_types.idl to match ]
If you add enough PCI devices then all mmio may not fit below 4G
which may not be the layout the user wanted. This allows you to
increase the below 4G address space that PCI devices can use and
therefore in more cases not have any mmio that is above 4G.
There are real PCI cards that do not support mmio over 4G, so if you
want to emulate them precisely, you may also need to increase the
space below 4G for them. There are drivers for these cards that also
do not work if they have their mmio space mapped above 4G.
This allows growing the MMIO hole to the size needed.
This may help with using pci passthru and HVM.
In the tools this is named mmio_hole_memkb.

libxl: FATAL ERROR: memory allocation failure (libxl__calloc, 4294935299 x 40)
The root cause of this is in Xen. getdomaininfo() has no way of expressing
"this domain has no vcpus". Previously, info->max_vcpu_id would be returned
uninitialised in such a case.
Unfortunately, setting it to 0 as a default is not appropriate. A max_vcpu_id
of 0 and nr_online_cpus of 0 is the valid state for a single vcpu domain which
is in the process of being destroyed.
As all components are required to add 1 to max_vcpu_id to get the number of
vcpus, an id of ~0U is not valid to be used. Explicitly define this as an
invalid max vcpu value, and use it to express "no vcpus" in getdomaininfo()
In libxl, the issue is seen as libxl_list_vcpu() attempts to use the
uninitialised domaininfo.max_vcpu_id for memory allocation.
Check domaininfo.max_vcpu_id against the new sentinel value
XEN_INVALID_MAX_VCPU_ID, and return early. This means that it is now valid
for libxl_list_vcpu() to return NULL for a domain which lacks any vcpus.
As part of this change, remove the pointless call to libxl_get_max_cpus(),
whose returned value is unconditionally clobbered in the for() loop.

The current usage of LIBEXEC is bogus. It describes the directory for
private xen executables. Other places create their own, similar
libexecdir path as $prefix/lib/xen/*.
Additional two other variables are used to describe similar paths:
PRIVATE_BINDIR and PRIVATE_PREFIX
The autoconf documentation refers to libexec as a directory for
executables and stuff which is called by other programs, not by the
user.
Adjust all places that want libexecdir as a target path. LIBEXEC refers
now to the base directory. Three convenience variables are used to refer
to paths to private binaries, libs and include files.
In the systemd files LIBEXEC_BIN is substituted, so this variable has to
be present in autoconf. All other variables are expanded in Paths.mk
because they are only used in Makefiles.
Most users of LIBEXEC are updated to use LIBEXEC_BIN because that is
what they want.
Users of PRIVATE_BINDIR are updated to use LIBEXEC_BIN because that is
what they want. PRIVATE_BINDIR and PRIVATE_PREFIX usage is removed by
this patch, in favour of LIBXEC_BIN and LIBEXEC
An internal libxl function was removed. A single helper to retrieve
LIBEXEC_BIN remains.
As suggested by the autoconf documentation, configure appends the
package name to LIBEXEC to make sure the provided directory really
refers to xen. This makes sure "make uninstall" preserves the real

This patch allows the user to disable any of these features by
explicitly specifying a 'run in unsafe mode' switch when invoking

makes little sense under normal circumstances, it is useful to be
able to disable one or more features mentioned above for

Unless this option is enabled, it will not be possible to
replicate memory checkpoints to /dev/null (blackhole replication),
disable network buffering or disk replication.
As a starter, the use of blackhole replication now requires that

This patch adds the machinery required for protecting a guest's

checkpointing process begins. This script should be invoked by

a) setup() is called for each disk attached to the guest.
During setup():
i) The hotplug script is called to perform the sanity check.
ii) Libxl obtains a handle to the DRBD device (/dev/drbd*) and
and subsequently controls disk checkpoint replication using
this handle in the checkpoint callbacks.
c) The preresume() checkpoint callback is executed asynchronously
using libxl__ev_child_fork(), as it may potentially block for more

This patch adds the machinery required for protecting a guest's
network device state. This patch comprises of two parts:
1. Hotplug scripts: The remus-netbuf-setup script is responsible for
setting up and tearing down the necessary infrastructure required for
network output buffering. This script should be invoked by libxl for
each of the guest's network interfaces, when starting or stopping Remus.
Apart from returning success/failure indication via the usual hotplug
entries in xenstore, this script also writes to xenstore, the name of
the REMUS_IFB device to be used to control the vif's network output.
The script relies on libnl3 command line utilities to perform various
setup/teardown functions. The script is confined to Linux platforms only
since NetBSD does not seem to have libnl3.
2. Remus network device: Implements the interfaces required by the
remus abstract device layer. A note about the implementation:
a) init_subkind_nic() & cleanup_subkind_nic() are called once per Remus
invocation. They establish and free netlink related state respectively.
b) setup() and teardown are called for each vif attached to the
guest.
During setup():
i) The hotplug script is called to setup a network buffer on a
given vif. The script chooses an available IFB device from
the system, redirects vif egress traffic to the IFB device
and sets up the plug qdisc (output buffer) on the IFB device.
The name of the IFB device is communicated via xenstore to
libxl.
ii) Libxl obtains a handle to the plug qdisc using the libnl3 API
and subsequently controls output buffering using this handle
in the checkpoint callbacks.
During teardown(), the hotplug scripts are called again to remove
the vif->ifb traffic redirection, release the ifb and the plug
qdisc associated with it.
c) The checkpoint callbacks [postsuspend(), preresume() and commit()]
are implemented as synchronous ops as the netlink calls associated
with the qdisc subsystem are very fast.

Introduce an abstract device layer that allows the Remus
logic in libxl to control a guest's devices in a device-agnostic
manner. The device layer also exposes a set of internal interfaces
that a device type must implement, if it wishes to support Remus.
The following API are exposed to libxl:
One-time configuration operations:
*libxl__remus_devices_setup
> Enable output buffering for NICs, setup disk replication, etc.
*libxl__remus_devices_teardown
> Disable network output buffering and disk replication;
teardown any associated external setups like qdiscs for NICs.
Operations executed every checkpoint (in order of invocation):
*libxl__remus_devices_postsuspend
*libxl__remus_devices_preresume
*libxl__remus_devices_commit
Each device type needs to implement the interfaces specified in
the libxl__remus_device_instance_ops if it wishes to support Remus.
The high-level control flow through the Remus device layer is shown below:
xl remus
|-> libxl_domain_remus_start
|-> libxl__remus_devices_setup
|-> Per-checkpoint libxl__remus_devices_[postsuspend,preresume,commit]
...
|-> On backup failure/network error/other errors
libxl__remus_devices_teardown
callback processing
* Only call the per-device libxl__multidev_one_callback
when the iteration has succeded or failed.
* The final callback (called by multidev) is a trivial
shim to shuffle the pointers and notify our own caller.

The following commits introduced the time reference counter MSR and
TSC/APIC frequency MSRs into the viridian feature set respectively:
e36cd2cdc984657efd91
The time reference counter MSR feature was then reverted by commit
1cd4fab14c
because a flaw in the implementation meant the counter was reset on
migration.
All of these changes were made without any addtional options being
added to the VM configuration, or any compatibility checks being made
in the domain save/restore code. Hence setting the single boolean
'viridian' option in the VM configuration yields a different set of
features depending on which version of Xen the VM is started on, and the
feature set can change across migration (so new MSRs can magically appear).
This patch grandfathers in the current viridian features set and calls them
the 'base' and 'freq' feature sets. HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN is re-purposed as
a feature mask. The hypervisor has only ever allowed it ot be set to 0
or 1, so the presence of the base and freq sets are indicated by setting
bit 0. The freq set can then be turned off by setting bit 1, thus
restoring the pre-Xen-4.4 base set. Newly implemented viridian features
can be optionally enabled in future by setting further bits.
The viridian option in xl.cfg(5) has also been changed to a list so
that the sets can be individually enabled or disabled. For compatibility,
if the option is specified as a boolean, then a true (1) value will enable
the base and freq sets and a false (0) value will not enable any
enlightenments.
This patch also alters the allowed write accesses to HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN.
Currently there is nothing to stop the guest writing this value (which,
while harmless to anything else, should not happen) and nothing to
stop a toolstack from setting the value back to zero whilst the guest is
running, causing CPUID leaves to disappear and MSR accesses to start
causing GPFs in the guest. Both of these possibilities are now disallowed:
Once the parameter is set to a non-zero value it may not be modified (only
re-written with the same value), and guests no longer have any write
access.

Replace usage of buildmakevars2file with buildmakevars2header. The macro
generates a C header file, so remove code which converts shell variables
into C defines. Also update the dependency, the macro itself creates a
dependency for _paths.h. A temporary file is not needed anymore.

genpath is a detail of buildmakevars2file. Replace the dependency to
genpath with the actual buildmakevars2file target. This change by
itself does not fix any bug. Upcoming changes will add dependencies to
$(target), but no rule exist to create $(target).
To force a rebuild of the $(1) rule the target now depends on the
existing .phony target. This dummy target is already used elsewhere in
the code.
No change in behaviour is expected by this patch.
