Use the apply-build-vars make macro to replace the @xxx@ markers in
most *.in files only at build time.

As some of the markers are local to tools/configure, introduce
config/Tools-paths.mk.in and add the related make variables to it.
Add Tools-paths to the PATH_FILES make variable in order to include
the definitions for replacing them in the *.in files.

Juergen Gross c9a899f7f4 tools: add configure option for disabling pygrub
Add a "--disable-pygrub" option for being able to disable the build
and installation of pygrub.

There are two main reasons to do so:

- A main reason to use pygrub is to allow a PV guest to choose its
  bitness (32- or 64-bit). Pygrub allows that by looking into the boot
  image and to start the guest in the correct mode depending on the
  kernel selected. With 32-bit PV guests being deprecated and the
  possibility to even build a hypervisor without 32-bit PV support,
  this use case is gone for at least some configurations.

- Pygrub is running in dom0 with root privileges. As it is operating
  on guest controlled data (the boot image) and taking decisions based
  on this data, there is a higher security risk. Not being possible
  to use pygrub is thus a step towards a reduction of attack surface.

Default is still to build and install pygrub.

Jan Beulich 8169f82049 libxenguest: support zstd compressed kernels
This follows the logic used for other decompression methods utilizing an
external library, albeit here we can't ignore the 32-bit size field
appended to the compressed image - its presence causes decompression to
fail. Leverage the field instead to allocate the output buffer in one
go, i.e. without incrementally realloc()ing.

As far as configure.ac goes, I'm pretty sure there is a better (more
"standard") way of using PKG_CHECK_MODULES(). The construct also gets
put next to the other decompression library checks, albeit I think they
all ought to be x86-specific (e.g. placed in the existing case block a
few lines down).

Note that, where possible, instead of #ifdef-ing xen/*.h inclusions,
they get removed.

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki 83c845033d libxl: use vchan for QMP access with Linux stubdomain
Access to QMP of QEMU in Linux stubdomain is possible over vchan
connection. Handle the actual vchan connection in a separate process
(vchan-socket-proxy). This simplified integration with QMP (already
quite complex), but also allows preliminary filtering of (potentially
malicious) QMP input.
Since only one client can be connected to vchan server at the same time
and it is not enforced by the libxenvchan itself, additional client-side
locking is needed. It is implicitly implemented by vchan-socket-proxy,
as it handle only one connection at a time. Note that qemu supports only
one simultaneous client on a control socket anyway (but in UNIX socket
case, it enforce it server-side), so it doesn't add any extra
limitation.

libxl qmp client code already has locking to handle concurrent access
attempts to the same qemu qmp interface.

Signed-off-by: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@invisiblethingslab.com>

Squash in changes of regenerated autotools files.

Kill the vchan-socket-proxy so we don't leak the daemonized processes.
libxl__stubdomain_is_linux_running() works against the guest_domid, but
the xenstore path is beneath the stubdomain.  This leads to the use of
libxl_is_stubdom in addition to libxl__stubdomain_is_linux_running() so
that the stubdomain calls kill for the qmp-proxy.

Also call libxl__qmp_cleanup() to remove the unix sockets used by
vchan-socket-proxy.  vchan-socket-proxy only creates qmp-libxl-$domid,
and libxl__qmp_cleanup removes that as well as qmp-libxenstat-$domid.
However, it tolerates ENOENT, and a stray qmp-libxenstat-$domid should
not exist.

Ian Jackson bad237ded7 tools/configure: Honour XEN_COMPILE_ARCH and _TARGET_ for shim
The pvshim can only be built 64-bit because the hypervisor is only
64-bit nowadays.  The hypervisor build supports XEN_COMPILE_ARCH and
XEN_TARGET_ARCH which override the information from uname.  The pvshim
build runs out of the tools/ directory but calls the hypervisor build
system.

If one runs in a Linux 32-bit userland with a 64-bit kernel, one used
to be able to set XEN_COMPILE_ARCH.  But nowadays this does not work.
configure sees the target cpu as 64-bit and tries to build pvshim.
The build prints
  echo "*** Xen x86/32 target no longer supported!"
and doesn't build anything.  Then the subsequent Makefiles try to
install the non-built pieces.

Fix this anomaly by causing configure to honour the Xen hypervisor way
of setting the target architecture.

In principle this user behaviour is not handled quite right, because
configure will still see 64-bit and so all the autoconf-based
architecture testing will see 64-bit rather than 32-bit x86.  But the
tools are in fact generally quite portable: this particular location
in configure{.ac,} is the only place in tools/ where 64-bit x86 is
treated differently from 32-bit x86, so the fix is sufficient and
correct for this use case.

It remains the case that XEN_COMPILE_ARCH or XEN_TARGET_ARCH to a
non-x86 architecture, when configure thinks things are x86, or vice
versa, will not work right.

(This is a bugfix to 8845155c83
  pvshim: make PV shim build selectable from configure
which inadvertantly deleted the logic to only build the shim for
XEN_TARGET_ARCH != x86_32.)

I have rerun autogen.sh, so this patch contains the fix to configure
as well as the source fix to configure.ac.

Ian Jackson 9caed751db tools/configure: Allow specifying python to be found from path
./configure takes a PYTHON=... argument.  You can use this to specify
the python interpreter.  However, for no good reason, it expects an
absolute path.

Fix this.  The new logic is:
 * if not set, default to `python'
 * if not absolute, look it up with type -p
 * split into directory and executable name

The results in config/Tools.mk (which contains @PYTHON@ and
@PYTHONPATH@) are identical for both
  ./configure
  ./configure PYTHON=/usr/bin/python
so I assert this has no functional change except that now you can say
  ./configure PYTHON=python

In particular you can now say
  ./configure PYTHON=python2
  ./configure PYTHON=python3

The latter is useful if you want python3 (which should probably be the
default, but does not work right now).  The former is useful if you
want python2 but your distro has foolishly made "python" refer to
python3.

Wei Liu 5c883cf036 tools: remove blktap2 related code and documentation
Blktap2 is effectively dead for a few years.

Notable changes in this patch:

0. Unhook blktap2 from build system
1. libxl no longer supports TAP disk backend, with appropriate assertions
   added and some code paths now return ERROR_FAIL
2. Tap is no longer a supported backend
3. Remove blktap2 entry from MAINTAINERS

A patch to remove blktap2 directory will come later.

Roger Pau Monne 8845155c83 pvshim: make PV shim build selectable from configure
So a user can decide whether to compile a PV shim as part of the tools
build. Note that the default behavior is preserved, which is to build
a PV shim when the target or host (if target is unset) architecture is
64bit x86.

Paul Durrant 0cc1283094 tools: add option to explicitly enable VirtFS in QEMU build
9pfs support has been a documented feature since Xen 4.9, but QEMU will
not be built with backend support unless VirtFS is enabled, which is
predicated on the libcap and libattr dev packages being installed. This is
not obvious to anyone intending to use 9pfs.

This patch adds an 'enable-9pfs' option to configure which, if specified,
will cause '--enable-virtfs' to be passed to QEMU's configure. This will
cause the dependency on libcap and libattr to be called out if the packages
are not in installed.

For completeness, specifying 'disable-9pfs' will cause '--disable-virtfs' to
be passed to QEMU's confgure and not specifying an option will keep the
previous behaviour of predicating VirtFS on whether the libcap and libattr
packages are installed.

Wei Liu 2051341489 tools: fix dependency for ipxe and rombios
It appears that the test in 01d631028 for ipxe's dependency on rombios
is not good enough. Configuring with --disable-rombios doesn't disable
ipxe.

Fix it by testing the dependency after AC_ARG_ENABLE and AC_ARG_WITH
have taken effect.

At the same time, regularise options for ipxe:

  --enable-ipxe         enable building in-tree ipxe
  --disable-ipxe        disable building in-tree ipxe
  --with-system-ipxe    specify a path to be baked into code, disable
                        building in-tree ipxe, this trumps --{en,dis}able-ipxe
  --without-system-ipxe error

Wei Liu 6f28c09aa9 tools: --with-system-{ovmf,seabios,ipxe} should provide absolute paths
The paths shouldn't be set to "yes". We ask the user to set absolute
paths because Xen's build system doesn't know where to search, and the
build machine doesn't necessarily have those binaries present in the
first place.
