This implicitly required coverting the tmem_op structure from
anonymous to standard struct/union sub-fields, and extending the
get-fields.sh helper script to deal with typedef-ed guest handles used
as types of translated compound type fields.

store them as:

As observed by Dexuan Cui, when PCI devices are passed through at
domain-creation-time setupOneDevice() will be called twice.
Once via setupDevice() and once via econfigureDevice() which
is called in pci_device_configure().
This patch removes the first of these.

and monitor tool
This patch adds tmem support to the largely unknown/unused
xenballoond scripts that implement both self-ballooning and
a foundation for directed-ballooning. Tmem and automated
ballooning are highly complementary in that, when ballooning
is over-aggressive, paging and swapping can increase noticably.
Precache preserves evicted pages that may be needed again soon
(thus eliminating disk reads) and preswap provides memory-based
swapping that occurs if ballooning is insufficiently responsive
to a sudden increase in activity and memory demand (thus
eliminating disk writes and reads).
There are two changes in this patch:
1) The xenballoond service is a convenient place to implement
userland "preswap shrinking".**
2) The xenballoon-monitor script is a convenient place to
report (and view with "watch -d") the frequent memory
rebalancing that results from tmem usage on a busy system.
Note that for best results (and for the monitor script to
work), the xenstore-* tools should be installed on each guest.
(** In a disk-based swap device, stale pages are often left
on-disk even after they are no longer needed or valid; they
are simply overwritten if/when the disk blocks are needed
again, which may be a very long time. Preswap behaves
much like a disk, but uses precious pages of memory that
count against a guest's memory allocation; thus stale
pages are very undesirable. Preswap shrinking periodically
attempts to remove stale pages from preswap by using a
sysfs interface created by the linux-side tmem patch.)

Recently the format of the tap syntax in the config file changed to
using a 4 part specifier (tap:tapdisk:<format>:<filename>) instead
of the old 3-part one (tap:<qcow>:<filename>).
This breaks compatibility with existing config files: a guest start
will throw a Python exception and will be aborted.
AFAICS currently tap:tapdisk is redundant, so the attached patch
simply catches the above mentioned exception and tries to parse the
old format in this case.

Using func for hotplug_slot is not correct, although func is often
zero, previously zero meant please pick a vslot and asking xend to
pick a vslot was the only method available.
This resolves the following error when using Xen API:
$ xm create hvm.conf
...
Internal error: Timed out waiting for device model action.
Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>
xm uses the following code to read pci information using Xen API:
ppci_ref =3D server.xenapi.DPCI.get_PPCI(dpci_ref)
ppci_record =3D server.xenapi.PPCI.get_record(ppci_ref)
dev =3D {
"domain": int(ppci_record["domain"]),
"bus": int(ppci_record["bus"]),
"slot": int(ppci_record["slot"]),
"func": int(ppci_record["func"]),
"vslot": int(server.xenapi.DPCI.get_hotplug_slot(dpci_ref))
}
As the domain, bus, slot and func values are returned as string
representations of decimal, it makes sense for get_hotplug_slot() to
also return string representations of decimal.
As it is, the int() conversion will break cause xm to fail with
an error if the vslot is in the range 0xa-0xf or 0x1a-0x1f.
$ xm pci-list debian
Error: Invalid argument.
And the int() conversion will return the wrong value if
the vslot is in the range 0x10-0x19.
This patch also alters XendDPCI to store hotplug_vslot as an integer
rather than a string. This is consitent with the way other
values are stored inside XendDPCI.
get_hotplug_slot() returning a string is not consistent
with other calls inside XendDPCI, which return integers.

I don't know of the historical reasons for this, but by convention
hex values are stored without a leading '0x' in the backend and
with a leading '0x' in the device configuration.
This patch also removes handling of the case where vslot is missing
from the backend, should never occur.

Empty QCOW images consist of only the L1 table, this results in a
file size which is not sector-aligned. Since blktap uses O_DIRECT, the
block aligned read of the L1 table will go beyond the end of file and
thus returns the actual file size and not the expected length.
This patch checks whether at least the L1 table has been read.
This should fix bug 1430.

Tmem can share clean page cache pages for Linux domains
in a virtual cluster (currently only the ocfs2 filesystem
has a patch on the Linux side). So when one domain
"puts" (evicts) a page, any domain in the cluster can
"get" it, thus saving disk reads. This functionality
is already present; these are only bug fixes.
- fix bugs when an SE pool is destroyed
- fixes in parsing tool for xm tmem-list output for SE pools
- incorrect locking in one case for destroying an SE pool
- clearer verbosity for transfer when an SE pool is destroyed
- minor cleanup: merge routines that are mostly duplicate

This patch support exchange a page for a suspended PV guest from user
space.
The basic idea to offline a page is:
1) mark a page offline pending
2) If the page is owned by a HVM domain, user have to live migrate it.
In future, with stub-domain support, we can also exchange the page
without migration.
3) If the page is owned by a PV domain, we will try to exchange the
offline pending page to a new one and free the old page.
This patch achieves item 3.
The method to exchange the offline pending page for PV domain is:
1) Suspend the guest.
2) If the page is being granted out, return with offline pending.
3) Get a copy for the content
4) Scan all page table page to see if any reference to the offending
page, if yes, make the entry to be non-present to reduce the reference
count.
5) After update all page tables, user space tools will try to exchange
the old page. If the new mfn has no reference anymore (i.e.
count_info & count_mask =3D 1), the exchange will allocate a new page,
update the m2p and return success, otherwise it will return fail.
6) If step 5 is success, user space tools will update the content of
the new page change the p2m table, and change all entries scaned in
step 4 to point to new entry.
if step failed, it will try to undo step 4 to revert page table.
7) Resume the guest.
