This commit changes the existing libxl code to be sure to grant access
permission to PCI-related I/O memory ranges, while setting up passthrough
of PCI devices specified in the domain's configuration, and to VGA-related
memory ranges, while setting up VGA passthrough (if gfx_passthru = 1 in
the domain's configuration).
As for the latter, the newly-added code does not replace any existing one,
but instead matches the calls to xc_domain_memory_mapping() performed by
QEMU on the path that is executed if gfx passthru is enabled and follows
the registration of a new VGA controller (in register_vga_regions(),
defined in hw/pt-graphics.c). In fact, VGA needs some extra memory
ranges to be mapped with respect to PCI; QEMU expects that access to those
memory ranges is implicitly granted when he calls the hypervisor with the
function xc_domain_memory_mapping(): this commit calls iomem_permission
for it when needed by checking the passthru PCI device's class.
NOTE: the code added by this commit still does not verify if the passthru
of the framebuffer area is being performed for the primary GPU, but
only replicates the behavior of QEMU which is limited to performing
the passthru for all PCI devices of VGA class.
This commit is instrumental to the last one in the series, which will
separate the functions of the iomem_permission and memory_mapping DOMCTLs,
so that requesting an I/O-memory range will not imply that access to such
a range is implicitly granted.

This patch adds in proper locking to libxl user data store. The lock is
associated with a specific domain (i.e. a per-domain lock).
As for locking hierachy, we first take CTX lock (which is implemented
with pthread recursive mutex so even if the application has taken it
we're fine), then take the file lock. These locks are released in
reversed order.
A new libxl error code ERROR_LOCK_FAIL is introduced to describe failure
to acquire locks.
Also factor out libxl__userdata_{retrieve,store}, so that other
functions that already hold the lock can call them to manipulate
user data.

This lock is used to protect all userdata files related to a particular
domain, which include but are not limited to domain configuration. A
new "domain-userdata-lock" entry is introduced in libxl registry.
This lock works among different processes and different threads within
the same process.
Locking protocol inspired by Ian Jackson's chiark-utils with-lock-ex. A
file lock is taken with flock(2). If that succeeds that thread fstat the
fd and stat the lock file path. If the device and inode match then the
lock has been successfully acquired. This lock remains acquired until
the lock file gets deleted or released by flock(2). If device and inode
don't match then another thread acquired the lock and deleted the file
in the meantime; lock procedure should restart.
Portability note: this lock utilises flock(2) so a proper implementation
of flock(2) is required -- that is, it should not be implemented with
fcntl(2).

If hvm.serial_list is set, each device listed will cause an extra
"-serial [foo]" to be appended to the qemu command line.
Callers may set either hvm.serial or hvm.serial_list, but not
both; libxl will throw an error if both are set.
In order to allow users of libxl to write software compatible with
older versions of libxl, also define LIBXL_HAVE_BUILDINFO_SERIAL_LIST.
If this is defined, callers may use either hvm.serial or

This adds the systemd xen service / module files and integrates
support into the build system.
This goes in with AX_AVAILABLE_SYSTEMD() which will enable
systemd if development libraries have been found on your
build system. If you don't have systemd on target systems
for binaries built with systemd then the binary will not
work, you must explicitly disable systemd support if you
do not want to build systemd support.
When systemd libraries are present only systems that
have booted into systemd go through the systemd initialization,
otherwise the SysVinit is used.
These are originally based on the Fedora systemd files.
Changes made from Fedora's systemd files:
* split sockets into two files to claim different permissions
* Use /bin/sh -c exec to for a simple launcher implementation
* enables systemd socket activation for C xenstored and Ocaml
oxenstored
* use sd_notify(), so change the service to Type=notify, because of
this we remove the PIDFile specification as we don't care for it, and let
systemd do its magic for us, this also means we don't have to fork
so we use --no-fork with systemd
* defines a modules-load.d, its original source file will be shared
between systemd and old init systems
* simplify service files with ConditionVirtualization=xen which uses
the built in systemd virtualization backend detection, these
service files will not be available to start on systems that do not
boot with xen as a hypervisor
* use autoconf to replace @variable@ paths for us which piggy
backs on top of the latest autoconf changes to xen
* removes oxenstored service file in favor of a system variable which
controls which which xentored to use at run time, we avoid multiple
service files this way.
* simplifies startup to not require polling on the sockets
as initial socket management is handled by systemd, we just
take on the socket later once anything pokes at it, a simple nc -U
(as root) on any of the sockets files can activate the service for example.
Anything queued up will be sent to us once we start. Socket activation
should in theory also let us dynamically switch between xenstores but more
importantly we could upgrade xenstored while keeping all active
socket communication queued up, but in order to take advantage of
this we eventually would need to remove the requirement of not being
able to bring down the xenstored. Even though active sockets are
supported since most libxl communication doesn't triggger a check
on the unix socket first administrators are encouraged to enable
the xenstored.service to triggger an initialization of the xenstored
upon bring up. Some systems also never use unix sockets for
communication with the xenstored and as such active sockets will
not be used there.
* allow for xenstored configuration through *either* of these
configuration files:
- /etc/sysconfig/xenstored
- /etc/default/xenstored
The /etc/default/xenstored will let debian based systems do
the same, while SUSE/OpenSUSE/Fedora/RedHat can keep on chugging
with sysconfig. We leave these files all commented out by default
though given that for systemd we want to encourage not using them.
* ensures we create the run directory as most systems will likely
be using a tmpfs for run dirs for the pid files
* Some systems define the selinux context in the systemd Option for the
/var/lib/xenstored tmpfs:
Options=mode=755,context="system_u:object_r:xenstored_var_lib_t:s0"
For the upstream version we remove that and let systems specify the
context on their system /etc/default/xenstored or /etc/sysconfig/xenstored
$XENSTORED_MOUNT_CTX variable, with a default to none.
* takes advantage of the shared xendomains helper for the xendomains
service
* Add the new dom0 that gets kicked off for disk backend access into
its own systemd service associated to xen
We end up with these systemd files:
General requirements:
* proc-xen.mount
* var-lib-xenstored.mount
xenstored:
* xenstored.service
* xenstored.socket
* xenstored_ro.socket
* xenconsoled.service
* xen-qemu-dom0-disk-backend.service.in
Optional:
* xendomains.service
* xen-watchdog.service
As for integration with xen, we house keep all the systemd files
under a new directory tools/hotplug/Linux/systemd/ and will be targeted
by default when building on Linux systems if systemd development
libraries are present at build time.
The systemd files will be sanitized for meta @VARIABLES@ upon
configuration and installed upon the install target. Systems that
do not use systemd can still get systemd service unit files installed
if the build system enabled systemd support, this however does not
mandate a requirement of having systemd libraries present. Old init
scripts are always installed.
If you don't specify a prefix you will end up with the services
files under /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/ by default, and systemd
modules-load.d conf files under /usr/local/lib/modules-load.d/ which
systemd does look for (although it seems this is not documented).
Distributions are expected to provide their /usr/ prefix to end up in
the more generic location upon distribution install at
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ and /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ respectively.

As it stands oxenstored will be used by default if ocaml tools are
found, the init system will also try to use oxenstored first if its
found otherwise the cxenstored will be used. Lets simplify the init
script and let users be explicit about the preference through configure.
This adds support to let you be explicit about the xenstored preference,
you can only use one of these two options:
./configure --with-xenstored=xenstored
./configure --with-xenstored=oxenstored
We continue with the old behaviour and default oxenstored will be used
but only if you have ocaml dependencies. Since the xenstored preference
is explicit now and since we require configure substitutions for it we
make use of the AX_XEN_EXPAND_CONFIG() helpers as otherwise substitution
for SBINDIR is not propagated from the top level configuration.
All this allows us to simplify the init script to use the configured
xenstore from the start. We update the sysconfig/default xencommons file
with the paths for the different options though, this can be used by
users to override the default xenstored, this follows the old behaviour
but we now just explicitly provide the full configured paths for users.
As before, changing the xenstore requires a reboot.
In order to help with documentation we update the README with some
details on configure usage refer to the wiki [0] [1] [2] for more elaborate
details.
Since we are now parsing an entry within Paths.mk.in on tools we let
the move the parsing of the file to be the tool's configure.

vCPU soft affinity and NUMA-aware scheduling does not have
to be related. However, soft affinity is how NUMA-aware
scheduling is actually implemented, and therefore, by default,
the results of automatic NUMA placement (at VM creation time)
are also used to set the soft affinity of all the vCPUs of
the domain.
Of course, this only happens if automatic NUMA placement is
enabled and actually takes place (for instance, if the user
does not specify any hard and soft affiniy in the xl config
file).
This also takes care of the vice-versa, i.e., don't trigger
automatic placement if the config file specifies either an
hard (the check for which was already there) or a soft (the

To do so, we add the vcpu_soft_affinity array to build_info, and
treat it much like vcpu_hard_affinity. The new config option is
called "cpus_soft".
Note that the vcpu_hard_affinity array, introduced in a previous
patch, and the vcpu_soft_affinity array, introduced here, share
the same LIBXL_HAVE_xxx macro, in libxl.h. That is called
LIBXL_HAVE_BUILDINFO_VCPU_AFFINITY_ARRAYS, and was introduced
together with vcpu_hard_affinity, but only inside a comment.
In this change, we uncomment, and hence properly define it.
In order to avoid having to issue separate calls to
libxl_set_vcpuaffinity() (one for hard affinity and one for soft
affinity) in libxl__build_pre(), in case the caller uses
b_info->cpumap (for the former) and b_info->vcpu_soft_affinity (for
the latter), we also set (again!) a new default for b_info->cpumap.
This allows, from this change on, to always and only deal with

and start using the vcpu_hard_affinity array instead. This is done
as when, in a subsequent patch ("libxl/xl: make it possible to
specify soft-affinity in domain config file") we will become able
to deal with soft affinity, code can be shared.
This change also enables more advanced VCPU to PCPU (hard, for now)
affinity specification, in case a list is used, like:
cpus = ["3-4", "2-6,^4"]
What it means is that VCPU 0 must be pinned to PCPU 3,4 and VCPU 1
to PCPUs 2,3,5,6 (before this change, cpus=[xx, yy] only supported
single values). Of course, the old (e.g., cpus=[2, 3]) syntax
continues to work.

Getting happens via `xl vcpu-list', which now looks like this:
# xl vcpu-list -s
Name ID VCPU CPU State Time(s) Affinity (Hard / Soft)
Domain-0 0 0 11 -b- 5.4 8-15 / all
Domain-0 0 1 11 -b- 1.0 8-15 / all
Domain-0 0 14 13 -b- 1.4 8-15 / all
Domain-0 0 15 8 -b- 1.6 8-15 / all
vm-test 3 0 4 -b- 2.5 0-12 / 0-7
vm-test 3 1 0 -b- 3.2 0-12 / 0-7
Setting happens by specifying two pCPU masks to the `xl vcpu-pin'
command, the first one will be hard affinity, the second soft
affinity. If only one mask is specified, it is only hard affinity
that is affected. To change only soft affinity, '-' can be used
as the hard affinity mask parameter, and it will be left alone.
xl manual page is updated accordingly.
