As discussed in the thread starting at
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-05/msg01383.html,
don't save Xen heap pages in order to avoid overallocation when the
domain gets restored, as those pages would get (temporarily) backed
with normal RAM pages by the restore code.
This requires making DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo{2,3} usable for HVM
guests, meaning that the input to these must be treated as GMFNs.

This disables superpage restore support, but should gain us acceptable
performance when restoring a domain using a pv_ops dom0 kernel. This
is because single-page allocations will be batched rather than issued
singly.

Each domain is allowed to set, reset and disable its timers; when any
timer runs out the domain is killed.

Remove all the magic surrounding the special Xen devices in Linux
specific code whereby we attempt to figure out what the correct
major:minor number is and check the the existing device has these
numbers etc. In 2010 we really should be able to trust that the
platform has created the devices correctly or provide correct
configuration settings such that they are without resorting to tearing
down the platform configured state and rebuilding it.
tools/hotplug/Linux/xen-backend.rules already contains the necessary
udev rules to create /dev/xen/evtchn and friends in the correct place.

This patch makes xc_linux properly deal with:
1. discovering and creating device nodes if necessary
2. the new form of xen/<dev> device names soon to be used by the
kernel
This changes the logic slightly:
- If a device node already exists with the proper name, then it uses
it as-is, assuming it has already been correctly created.
- If the path doesn't exist, or it exists but isn't a device node,
and
it has successfully found the major/minor for the device, then
(re)create the device node.
Since this logic is identical for gntdev and evtchn, make a common
function to handle both.

This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for
logging and error reporting).
Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a
new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns
instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via
xentoollog.
There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the
logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get
the old behaviour.
All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly.
Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change.

We provide a new header file "xentoollog.h" which defines an interface
that libraries and applications can use for logging. This avoids
having to wrap each library's log callbacks up, massage arguments to
log callbacks, and so on.
The library's .o files are within libxc to avoid having to create a
separate lib*.a, but callers do not need to #include xenctrl.h and it
should be regarded as a separate API.

libelf now permits callers to specify logging callback functions,
rather than a FILE*. libelf's non-Xen callers are all libxc users, so
the stdio dependency and the default logging callback function (which
calls vfprintf) is now in libxc.
Xen's use of libxc is unaffected in this patch.

The xc_ptrace API relies on errno for passing success/failure
indication back to callers. However, mapping operations that fall
back on legacy APIs may leave errno set to a non-zero result even
thought the operation is successful. This patch resets errno after
successful map operations so that xc_ptrace doesn't inadvertently
return a failure.

Using a function, and then declaring it weak later, has undefined

Previously, xc_dom_alloc_segment would go ahead even if the segment
we're trying to create is too big for the domain's RAM (or the
requested addr is out of range). It would pass invalid parameters to
xc_dom_seg_to_ptr giving undefined behaviour.
Fixing xc_dom_seg_to_ptr to fail is not sufficient because we want to
provide a comprehensible explanation to the caller - which may
ultimately be the user.
In particular, with this change attempting "xl create" with a ramdisk
image bigger than the guest's specified RAM will provide a useful
error message mentioning the ramdisk.

Previously, passing a valid pfn but an overly large count to
xc_dom_pfn_to_ptr, and functions which call it, would run off the end
of the pfn array giving undefined behaviour.
It is tempting to change this check to an assert, as no callers should
be providing invalid parameters here. But this is probably best not
done while frozen for 4.0.

Just like the kernel, the fallback implementation of
xc_map_foreign_bulk() should clear the error indication array upon
success.
Also, a few allocations were needlessly using calloc() instead of
malloc().
Finally, in xc_domain_save() allocate the error indicator array once
(along with the other arrays) instead of using realloc() (without
error checking) in the loop body.

Allow certain performance-critical hypercall wrappers to register data
buffers via a new interface which allows them to be 'bounced' into a
pre-mlock'ed page-sized per-thread data area. This saves the cost of
mlock/munlock on every such hypercall, which can be very expensive on
modern kernels.

To support wider than 28-bit MFNs, add XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo3
(with the type replacing the passed in MFN rather than getting or-ed
into it) to properly back xc_get_pfn_type_batch().
With xc_get_pfn_type_batch() only used internally to libxc, move its
prototype from xenctrl.h to xc_private.h.
This also fixes a couple of bugs in pre-existing code:
- the failure path for init_mem_info() leaked minfo->pfn_type,
- one error path of the XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo2 handler used
put_domain() where rcu_unlock_domain() was meant, and
- the XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo2 handler could call
xsm_getpageframeinfo() with an invalid struct page_info pointer.

Replace all calls to xc_map_foreign_batch() where the caller doesn't
look at the passed in array to check for errors by calls to
xc_map_foreign_pages(). Replace all remaining calls by such to the
newly introduced xc_map_foreign_bulk().
As a sideband modification (needed while writing the patch to ensure
they're unused) eliminate unused parameters to
uncanonicalize_pagetable() and xc_map_foreign_batch_single(). Also
unmap live_p2m_frame_list earlier in map_and_save_p2m_table(),
reducing the peak amount of virtual address space required.
All supported OSes other than Linux continue to use the old ioctl for
the time being.
Also change libxc's MAJOR to 4.0 to reflect the API change.
