Roger Pau Monné 948a4f6af3 sysctl/libxl: choose a sane default for HAP
Current libxl code will always enable Hardware Assisted Paging (HAP),
expecting that the hypervisor will fallback to shadow if HAP is not
available. With the changes to DOMCTL_createdomain that's not the case
any longer, and the hypervisor will raise an error if HAP is not
available instead of silently falling back to shadow.

In order to keep the previous functionality report whether HAP is
available or not in XEN_SYSCTL_physinfo, so that the toolstack can
select a sane default if there's no explicit user selection of whether
HAP should be used.

Note that on ARM hardware HAP capability is always reported since it's
a required feature in order to run Xen.

Eslam Elnikety c5d7f01cb9 libxl: make vkbd tunable for HVM guests
Each HVM guest currently gets a vkbd frontend/backend pair (c/s ebbd2561b4).
This consumes host resources unnecessarily for guests that have no use for
vkbd. Make this behaviour tunable to allow an administrator to choose. The
commit retains the current behaviour -- HVM guests still get vkdb unless
specified otherwise.

Olaf Hering 899433f149 libxl: fix migration of PV and PVH domUs with and without qemu
If a domU has a qemu-xen instance attached, it is required to call qemus
"xen-save-devices-state" method. Without it, the receiving side of a PV or
PVH migration may be unable to lock the image:

xen be: qdisk-51712: xen be: qdisk-51712: error: Failed to get "write" lock
error: Failed to get "write" lock
xen be: qdisk-51712: xen be: qdisk-51712: initialise() failed
initialise() failed

To fix this bug, libxl__domain_suspend_device_model() and
libxl__domain_resume_device_model() have to be called not only for HVM,
but also if the active device_model is QEMU_XEN.

Unfortunately, libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault() used to hardcode
b_info->device_model_version to QEMU_XEN if it does not know it any
better. As a result libxl__device_model_version_running() will return
incorrect values. This breaks domUs without a device_model.
libxl__qmp_stop() would wait 10 seconds in qmp_open() for a qemu that
will never appear. During this long timeframe the domU remains in state
paused on the sending side. As a result network connections may be
dropped. Once this bug is fixed as well, by just removing the assumption
that every domU has a QEMU_XEN, there is no code to actually initialise
b_info->device_model_version.

There is a helper function libxl__need_xenpv_qemu(), which is used in
various places to decide if a device_model has to be spawned. This
function can not be used as is, just to fill device_model_version,
because store_libxl_entry() was already called earlier.

Introduce LIBXL_DEVICE_MODEL_VERSION_NONE for PV and PVH that have no
need for a device_model to make the state explicit. Indicate this new
state via LIBXL_HAVE macro in libxl.h.

Olaf Hering 3802ecbaa9 libxl: add helper function to set device_model_version
An upcoming change will set the value of device_model_version properly
also for the non-HVM case.

Move existing code to new function libxl__domain_set_device_model.
Move also initialization for device_model_stubdomain to that function.
Make sure libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault is called with
device_model_version set.

Update libxl__spawn_stub_dm() and initiate_domain_create() to call the
new function prior libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault() because
device_mode_version is expected to be initialzed.
libxl_domain_need_memory() needs no update because it does not have a
d_config available anyway, and the callers provide a populated b_info.

The upcoming change needs a full libxl_domain_config, and the existing
libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault has just a libxl_domain_build_info
to work with.

Anthony PERARD 77b595836b libxl_dm: Pre-open QMP socket for QEMU
This patch moves the creation of the QMP unix socket from QEMU to libxl.
But libxl doesn't rely on this yet.

When starting QEMU with dm_restrict=1, pre-open the QMP socket before
exec QEMU. That socket will be useful to find out if QEMU is ready, and
pre-opening it means that libxl can connect to it without waiting for
QEMU to create it.

The pre-opening is conditional, based on the use of dm_restrict
because it is using a new command line option of QEMU, and dm_restrict
support in QEMU is newer.

-chardev socket,fd=X is available with QEMU 2.12, since commit:
> char: allow passing pre-opened socket file descriptor at startup
> 0935700f8544033ebbd41e1f13cd528f8a58d24d

George Dunlap 162fc8295f libxl: Restore scheduling parameters after migrate in best-effort fashion
Commit 3b4adba ("tools/libxl: include scheduler parameters in the
output of xl list -l") added scheduling parameters to the set of
information collected by libxl_retrieve_domain_configuration(), in
order to report that information in `xl list -l`.

Unfortunately, libxl_retrieve_domain_configuration() is also called by
the migration / save code, and the results passed to the restore /
receive code.  This meant scheduler parameters were inadvertently
added to the migration stream, without proper consideration for how to
handle corner cases.  The result was that if migrating from a host
running one scheduler to a host running a different scheduler, the
migration would fail with an error like the following:

libxl: error: libxl_sched.c:232:sched_credit_domain_set: Domain 1:Getting domain sched credit: Invalid argument
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1275:domcreate_rebuild_done: Domain 1:cannot (re-)build domain: -3

Luckily there's a fairly straightforward way to set parameters in a
"best-effort" fashion.  libxl provides a single struct containing the
parameters of all schedulers, as well as a parameter specifying which
scheduler.  Parameters not used by a given scheduler are ignored.
Additionally, the struct contains a parameter to specify the
scheduler.  If you specify a specific scheduler,
libxl_domain_sched_params_set() will fail if there's a different
scheduler.  However, if you pass LIBXL_SCHEDULER_UNKNOWN, it will use
the value of the current scheduler for that domain.

In domcreate_stream_done(), before calling libxl__build_post(), set
the scheduler to LIBXL_SCHEDULER_UNKNOWN.  This will propagate
scheduler parameters from the previous instantiation on a best-effort
basis.

Currently, the toolstack is considering Arm guest always PV. However,
they are very similar to PVH because HW virtualization extension are used
and QEMU is not started. So switch Arm guest type to PVH.

To keep compatibility with toolstack creating Arm guest with PV type
(e.g libvirt), libxl will now convert those guests to PVH.

Furthermore, the default type for Arm in xl will now be PVH to allow
smooth transition for user.

'xl sysrq' command doesn't work with modern Linux guests with the following

The problem seems to be in the fact that we don't pre-create control/sysrq
xenstore node and libxl_send_sysrq() doing libxl__xs_printf() creates it as

Andrew Cooper 4737fa52ce tools: Pass max_vcpus to XEN_DOMCTL_createdomain
XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus is a mandatory hypercall, but nothing actually prevents a
toolstack from unpausing a domain with no vcpus.

Originally, d->vcpus[] was an embedded array in struct domain, but c/s
fb442e217 "x86_64: allow more vCPU-s per guest" in Xen 4.0 altered it to being
dynamically allocated.  A side effect of this is that d->vcpu[] is NULL until
XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus has completed, but a lot of hypercalls blindly
dereference it.

Even today, the behaviour of XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus is a mandatory singleton
call which can't change the number of vcpus once a value has been chosen.

In preparation to remote the hypercall, extend xen_domctl_createdomain with
the a max_vcpus field and arrange for all callers to pass the appropriate
value.  There is no change in construction behaviour yet, but later patches
will rearrange the hypervisor internals.

For the python stubs, extend the domain_create keyword list to take a
max_vcpus parameter, in lieu of deleting the pyxc_domain_max_vcpus function.

Ian Jackson 62982da926 libxl: pvshim: Provide first-class config settings to enable shim mode
This is API-compatible because old callers are supposed to call
libxl_*_init to initialise the struct; and the updated function clears
these members.

It is ABI-compatible because the new fields make this member of the
guest type union larger but only within the existing size of that
union.

Unfortunately it is not easy to backport because it depends on the PVH
domain type.  Attempts to avoid use of the PVH domain type involved
working with two views of the configuration: the "underlying" domain
type and the "visible" type (and corresponding config info).  Also
there are different sets of config settings for PV and PVH, which
callers would have to know to set.

And, unfortunately, it will not be possible, with this approach, to
enable the shim by default for all libxl callers.  (Although it could
perhaps be done in xl.)

For now, our config defaults are:
 * if enabled, path is "xen-shim" in the xen firmware directory
 * if enabled, cmdline is the one we are currently debugging with

The debugging arguments will be rationalised in a moment.

Ian Jackson bc1bd8ebc3 libxl: dm_restrict: Move to domain_build_info
Right now, this is broken because libxl__build_device_model_args_new
is used also for the qemu run for pv guests for qdisk devices, pvfb,
etc.

We can either make this option properly HVM-specific, or make it
generic.

In principle it is a reasonable request, to make the PV qemu
deprivileged (even though it is not likely to be implemented any time
soon).  So make this option generic.

We retain the name "device model" even though it is arguably
inaccurate, because the xl docs already say, for example
  For a PV guest a device-model is sometimes used to provide backends
  for certain PV devices

The documentation patch here is pure code motion.  For ease of review
we will fix up the docs, so the wording to be right for the new
context, in the next patch.

Bhupinder Thakur a8c50ec9a8 xen/arm: vpl011: Add a new vuart node in the xenstore
Add a new vuart console node to xenstore. This node is added at

/local/domain/$DOMID/vuart/0.

The node contains information such as the ring-ref, event channel,
buffer limit and type of console.

Xenconsole reads the node information to setup the ring buffer and
event channel for sending/receiving vuart data.

Roger Pau Monne 6cc06d092c libxl: add PVH support to domain creation
Remove the device model "none" support from domain creation and
introduce support for PVH.

This requires changing some of the HVM checks to be applied for both
HVM and PVH.

Setting device model to none was never supported since it was an
unstable interface used while transitioning from PVHv1 to PVHv2.

Now that PVHv1 has been finally removed and that a supported
interface for PVHv2 is being added this option is no longer necessary,
hence it's removed.

Roger Pau Monne 27f826844d libxl: introduce a PVH guest type
The new guest type is introduced to the libxl IDL. libxl__domain_make
is also modified to save the guest type, and libxl__domain_type is
expanded to fetch that information when detecting guest type.

This is required because the hypervisor only differentiates between PV
and HVM guests, so libxl needs some extra information in order to
differentiate between a HVM and a PVH guest.

The new PVH guest type and its options are documented on the xl.cfg
man page.

Defines are added in order to signal consumers that the fields are
available.

Igor Druzhinin 9e50d8adc9 hvmloader, libxl: use the correct ACPI settings depending on device model
We need to choose ACPI tables properly depending on the device
model version we are running. Previously, this decision was
made by BIOS type specific code in hvmloader, e.g. always load
QEMU traditional specific tables if it's ROMBIOS and always
load QEMU Xen specific tables if it's SeaBIOS.

This change saves this behavior (for compatibility) but adds
an additional way (xenstore key) to specify the correct
device model if we happen to run a non-default one. Toolstack
bit makes use of it.

The enforcement of BIOS type depending on QEMU version will
be lifted later when the rest of ROMBIOS compatibility fixes
are in place.
