Curiously absent from the stable API/ABIs is an ability to query the number of
vcpus which a domain has. Emulators need to know this information in
particular to know how many stuct ioreq's live in the ioreq server mappings.
In practice, this forces all userspace to link against libxenctrl to use
xc_domain_getinfo(), which rather defeats the purpose of the stable libraries.
Introduce a DMOP to retrieve this information and surface it in
libxendevicemodel to help emulators shed their use of unstable interfaces.

For 4.15. This was a surprise discovery in the massive ABI untangling effort
I'm currently doing for XenServer's new build system.
This is one new read-only op to obtain information which isn't otherwise
available under a stable API/ABI. As such, its risk for 4.15 is very low,
with a very real quality-of-life improvement for downstreams.
I realise this is technically a new feature and we're long past feature
freeze, but I'm hoping that "really lets some emulators move off the unstable
libraries" is sufficiently convincing argument.
It's not sufficient to let Qemu move off unstable libraries yet - at a
minimum, the add_to_phymap hypercalls need stabilising to support PCI
Passthrough and BAR remapping.
I'd prefer not to duplicate the op handling between ARM and x86, and if this
weren't a release window, I'd submit a prereq patch to dedup the common dmop
handling. That can wait to 4.16 at this point. Also, this op ought to work
against x86 PV guests, but fixing that up will also need this rearrangement
into common code, so needs to wait.
It is not permitted to edit the VERS clause for a version in a release of Xen.
Revert xendevicemodel_set_irq_level()'s inclusion in .so.1.2 and bump the the
library minor version to .so.1.4 instead.

This patch adds ability to the device emulator to notify otherend
(some entity running in the guest) using a SPI and implements Arm
specific bits for it. Proposed interface allows emulator to set
the logical level of a one of a domain's IRQ lines.
We can't reuse the existing DM op (xen_dm_op_set_isa_irq_level)
to inject an interrupt as the "isa_irq" field is only 8-bit and
able to cover IRQ 0 - 255, whereas we need a wider range (0 - 1020).
Please note, for egde-triggered interrupt (which is used for
the virtio-mmio emulation) we only trigger the interrupt on Arm
if the level is asserted (rising edge) and do nothing if the level
is deasserted (falling edge), so the call could be named "trigger_irq"
(without the level parameter). But, in order to model the line closely
(to be able to support level-triggered interrupt) we need to know whether
the line is low or high, so the proposed interface has been chosen.
However, it is worth mentioning that in case of the level-triggered
interrupt, we should keep injecting the interrupt to the guest until
the line is deasserted (this is not covered by current patch).

[On Arm only]
Tested-by: Wei Chen <Wei.Chen@arm.com>
Commit e3b93b3c59 "dmop: add xendevicemodel_modified_memory_bulk()" added
the implementation to the library almost 2 years ago, but the function
was not included in the map file, essentially making it useless. This
patch rectifies the situation.

A new device model wrapper is added for the newly introduced
DMOP - XEN_DMOP_map_mem_type_to_ioreq_server.
Since currently this DMOP only supports the emulation of write
operations, attempts to trigger the DMOP with values other than
XEN_DMOP_IOREQ_MEM_ACCESS_WRITE or 0(to unmap the ioreq server)
shall fail. The wrapper shall be updated once read operations
are also to be emulated in the future.
Also note currently this DMOP only supports one memory type,
and can be extended in the future to map multiple memory types
to multiple ioreq servers, e.g. mapping HVMMEM_ioreq_serverX to
ioreq server X, This wrapper shall be updated when such change
is made.

This patch extracts all functions resulting in a dm_op hypercall from
libxenctrl and moves them into libxendevicemodel. It also adds a compat
layer into libxenctrl, which can be selected by defining
XC_WANT_COMPAT_DEVICEMODEL_API to 1 before including xenctrl.h.
With this patch the core of libxendevicemodel still uses libxencall to
issue the dm_op hypercalls, but this is done by calling through code that
can be modified on a per-OS basis. A subsequent patch will add a Linux-
specific variant.

The new xendevicemodel library is intended to be used by all Xen device
models such that the only hypercall that use will be the dm_op hypercall
added by commit 524a98c2.
This patch adds the boilerplate for the new library, with only open() and
close() entry points, and calls to those from libxenctrl in preparation
for the compat layer added by a subsequent patch.
