Roger Pau Monne 5417aa19ad tools: disable libvchan build on NetBSD
NetBSD doesn't have a gntdev, so libvchan is unable to build due to

Olaf Hering 338c437515 tools: pass EXTRA_CFLAGS via environment
Currently qemu-xen will be compiled with CFLAGS only if CFLAGS was
already in the environment during make invocation. If CFLAGS is in
environment then make will append all of the various flags specified in
xen Makefiles to this environment variable, which is then used in qemu
configure. Since qemu-xen is not ready for compiler flags like
"-std=gnu99" compilation will fail. If CFLAGS is not in environment,
then configure will use just its own "-O2 -g" because make does not
export its own CFLAGS variable.

>From a distro perspective, it is required to build libraries and
binaries with certain global cflags (arbitrary gcc options). Up to the
point when qemu-xen was imported it worked as expected by exporting
CFLAGS before 'make tools'.  Now qemu-upstream reuses these CFLAGS, but
it cant deal with the result.

This patch extends the tools Makefiles so that three new environment
variables are recognized:
  EXTRA_CFLAGS_XEN_TOOLS= specifies CFLAGS for the tools build.
  EXTRA_CFLAGS_QEMU_TRADITIONAL= specifies CFLAGS for old qemu.
  EXTRA_CFLAGS_QEMU_XEN= specifies CFLAGS for new qemu.

Special care needs to be taken in tools/firmware because the resulting
binaries are not linked with the hosts runtime libraries. These binaries
run in guest context. To avoid build errors from gcc options like
-fstack-protector, reuse existing practice to unset the new
EXTRA_CFLAGS_XEN_TOOLS for the firmware dirs.


The new feature can be used like this in a rpm xen.spec file:

   export EXTRA_CFLAGS_XEN_TOOLS="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}"
   export EXTRA_CFLAGS_QEMU_TRADITIONAL="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}"
   export EXTRA_CFLAGS_QEMU_XEN="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}"
   ./configure \
   	--libdir=%{_libdir} \
   	--prefix=/usr
   make

Ian Jackson 85896a7c4d build: add autoconf to replace custom checks in tools/check
Added autotools magic to replace custom check scripts. The previous
checks have been ported to autoconf, and some additional ones have
been added (plus the suggestions from running autoscan). Two files are
created as a result from executing configure script, config/Tools.mk
and config.h.

conf/Tools.mk is included by tools/Rules.mk, and contains most of the
options previously defined in .config, that can now be set passing
parameters or defining environment variables when executing configure
script.

config.h is only used by libxl/xl to detect yajl_version.h.

[ tools/config.sub and config.guess copied from
  autotools-dev 20100122.1 from Debian squeeze i386,
  which is GPLv2.

  tools/configure generated using the included ./autogen.sh
  which ran autoconf 2.67-2 from Debian squeeze i386.  autoconf
  is GPLv3+ but has a special exception for the autoconf output;
  this exception applies to us and exempts us from complying
  with GPLv3+ for configure, which is good as Xen is GPL2 only.

Ian Campbell 3f857a8d12 tools: use system installed libaio by default.
I could have sworn I did this years ago.

IIRC the need for our own copy was due to the use of io_set_eventfd which is
not present in version 0.3.106. However it is in 0.3.107 the first version of
which was uploaded to Debian in June 2008 (I can't find a better reference for
the release date).

The necessary version is available in Debian Lenny onwards and is in at least
RHEL 6, Fedora 13 and OpenSuSE 11.3. The necessary version appears to not be
available in RHEL 5 or SLES 11 which is why I haven't simply nuked the in tree
version.

This is based on tools-system-libaio.diff from the Debian packaging although I
have made it optional (but default on).

Daniel De Graaf 1a16a3351f libvchan: interdomain communications library
This library implements a bidirectional communication interface between
applications in different domains, similar to unix sockets. Data can be
sent using the byte-oriented libvchan_read/libvchan_write or the
packet-oriented libvchan_recv/libvchan_send.

Channel setup is done using a client-server model; domain IDs and a port
number must be negotiated prior to initialization. The server allocates
memory for the shared pages and determines the sizes of the
communication rings (which may span multiple pages, although the default
places rings and control within a single page).

With properly sized rings, testing has shown that this interface
provides speed comparable to pipes within a single Linux domain; it is
significantly faster than network-based communication.

Tim Deegan afadd6ac31 tools: remove fs-front/fs-back
Its access controls are really not OK.  In particular, it's not good for
libxl, which stores per-VM config blobs in a directory that is exported
to all VMs.

This will break stub-qemu save/restore, which is the only user of
fs-front that I'm aware of, but:
 - It's currently broken anyway (fs-back isn't run by default and crashes
   if it is run manually); and
 - Stefano has a plan to plumb qemu save records through a dedicated

QEMU by itself can be built outside of its source directory. With the
qemu repository being separate from the hypervisor/tools one it seems
to make sense to make use of this feature, but doing so requires a
couple of adjustments to the Xen changes to it. Basically, if
CONFIG_QEMU is found to indicate an existing directory, this directory
will be used rather than cloning the git repo into the build tree.

This is used to share pages which store data read of the same blocks on

Note that the map is stored in a shared memory region, as it needs to be
accessed by multiple tapdisk processes. This complicates memory allocation
(malloc cannot be used), prevents poniters to be stored directly (as the shared
memory region might and is mapped at different base address) and finally pthread

This tool will page out the specified number of pages from the specified

notify the tool over an event channel. The tool will process ther request,
page the page in, and notify Xen.

The current (default) policy tracks the 1024 most recently paged in pages
and will not choose to evict any of those. This is done with the assumption
that if a page is accessed, it is likely to be accessed again soon.

Keir Fraser bd5573a630 blktap2: a completely rewritten blktap implementation
Benefits to blktap2 over the old version of blktap:

* Isolation from xenstore - Blktap devices are now created directly on
   the linux dom0 command line, rather than being spawned in response
   to XenStore events.  This is handy for debugging, makes blktap
   generally easier to work with, and is a step toward a generic
   user-level block device implementation that is not Xen-specific.

* Improved tapdisk infrastructure: simpler request forwarding, new
   request scheduler, request merging, more efficient use of AIO.

* Improved tapdisk error handling and memory management.  No
   allocations on the block data path, IO retry logic to protect
   guests
   transient block device failures.  This has been tested and is known
   to work on weird environments such as NFS soft mounts.

* Pause and snapshot of live virtual disks (see xmsnap script).

* VHD support.  The VHD code in this release has been rigorously
   tested, and represents a very mature implementation of the VHD
   image
   format.

* No more duplication of mechanism with blkback.  The blktap kernel
   module has changed dramatically from the original blktap.  Blkback
   is now always used to talk to Xen guests, blktap just presents a
   Linux gendisk that blkback can export.  This is done while
   preserving the zero-copy data path from domU to physical device.

These patches deprecate the old blktap code, which can hopefully be
removed from the tree completely at some point in the future.
