There is a bug in commit 5e4b419966 ("xen: credit2: only reset
credit on reset condition"). In fact, the aim of that commit was to
make sure that we do not perform too many credit reset operations
(which are not super cheap, and in an hot-path). But the check used
to determine whether a reset is necessary was the wrong one.
In fact, knowing just that some vCPUs have been skipped, while
traversing the runqueue (in runq_candidate()), is not enough. We
need to check explicitly whether the first vCPU in the runqueue
has a negative amount of credit.
Since a trace record is changed, this patch updates xentrace format file
and xenalyze as well
This should be backported.

There have been report of stalls of guest vCPUs, when Credit2 was used.
It seemed like these vCPUs were not getting scheduled for very long
time, even under light load conditions (e.g., during dom0 boot).
Investigations led to the discovery that --although rarely-- it can
happen that a vCPU manages to run for very long timeslices. In Credit2,
this means that, when runtime accounting happens, the vCPU will lose a
large quantity of credits. This in turn may lead to the vCPU having less
credits than the idle vCPUs (-2^30). At this point, the scheduler will
pick the idle vCPU, instead of the ready to run vCPU, for a few
"epochs", which often times is enough for the guest kernel to think the
vCPU is not responding and crashing.
An example of this situation is shown here. In fact, we can see d0v1
sitting in the runqueue while all the CPUs are idle, as it has
-1254238270 credits, which is smaller than -2^30 = −1073741824:
(XEN) Runqueue 0:
(XEN) ncpus = 28
(XEN) cpus = 0-27
(XEN) max_weight = 256
(XEN) pick_bias = 22
(XEN) instload = 1
(XEN) aveload = 293391 (~111%)
(XEN) idlers: 00,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,0fffffff
(XEN) tickled: 00,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000
(XEN) fully idle cores: 00,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,0fffffff
[...]
(XEN) Runqueue 0:
(XEN) CPU[00] runq=0, sibling=00,..., core=00,...
(XEN) CPU[01] runq=0, sibling=00,..., core=00,...
[...]
(XEN) CPU[26] runq=0, sibling=00,..., core=00,...
(XEN) CPU[27] runq=0, sibling=00,..., core=00,...
(XEN) RUNQ:
(XEN) 0: [0.1] flags=0 cpu=5 credit=-1254238270 [w=256] load=262144 (~100%)
We certainly don't want, under any circumstance, this to happen.
Let's, therefore, define a minimum amount of credits a vCPU can have.
During accounting, we make sure that, for however long the vCPU has
run, it will never get to have less than such minimum amount of
credits. Then, we set the credits of the idle vCPU to an even
smaller value.
NOTE: investigations have been done about _how_ it is possible for a
vCPU to execute for so much time that its credits becomes so low. While
still not completely clear, there are evidence that:
- it only happens very rarely,
- it appears to be both machine and workload specific,
- it does not look to be a Credit2 (e.g., as it happens when
running with Credit1 as well) issue, or a scheduler issue.
This patch makes Credit2 more robust to events like this, whatever
the cause is, and should hence be backported (as far as possible).

On Arm64, system registers are always 64-bit including SCTLR_EL1.
However, Xen is assuming this is 32-bit because earlier revision of
Armv8 had the top 32-bit RES0 (see ARM DDI0595.b).
>From Armv8.5, some bits in [63:32] will be defined and allowed to be
modified by the guest. So we would effectively reset those bits to 0
after each context switch. This means the guest may not function
correctly afterwards.
Rather than resetting to 0 the bits [63:32], preserve them across
context switch.
Note that the corresponding register on Arm32 (i.e SCTLR) is always
32-bit. So we need to use register_t anywhere we deal the SCTLR{,_EL1}.
Outside interface is switched to use 64-bit to allow ABI compatibility
between 32-bit and 64-bit.

This commit implements the Xen part of the cap mechanism for
Credit2.
A cap is how much, in terms of % of physical CPU time, a domain
can execute at most.
For instance, a domain that must not use more than 1/4 of
one physical CPU, must have a cap of 25%; one that must not
use more than 1+1/2 of physical CPU time, must be given a cap
of 150%.
Caps are per domain, so it is all a domain's vCPUs, cumulatively,
that will be forced to execute no more than the decided amount.
This is implemented by giving each domain a 'budget', and
using a (per-domain again) periodic timer. Values of budget
and 'period' are chosen so that budget/period is equal to the
cap itself.
Budget is burned by the domain's vCPUs, in a similar way to
how credits are.
When a domain runs out of budget, its vCPUs can't run any
longer. They can gain, when the budget is replenishment by
the timer, which event happens once every period.
Blocking the vCPUs because of lack of budget happens by
means of a new (_VPF_parked) pause flag, so that, e.g.,
vcpu_runnable() still works. This is similar to what is
done in sched_rtds.c, as opposed to what happens in
sched_credit.c, where vcpu_pause() and vcpu_unpause()
(which means, among other things, more overhead).
Note that, while adding new fields to csched2_vcpu and
csched2_dom, currently existing members are being moved
around, to achieve best placement inside cache lines.
Note also that xenalyze and tools/xentrace/format are being
updated too.

Soft-affinity support is usually implemented by means
of a two step "balancing loop", where:
- during the first step, we consider soft-affinity
(if the vcpu has one);
- during the second (if we get to it), we consider
hard-affinity.
In runq_tickle(), we need to do that for checking
whether we can execute the waking vCPU on an pCPU
that is idle. In fact, we want to be sure that, if
there is an idle pCPU in the vCPU's soft affinity,
we'll use it.
If there are no such idle pCPUs, though, and we
have to check non-idle ones, we can avoid the loop
and to both hard and soft-affinity in one pass.
In fact, we can we scan runqueue and compute a
"score" for each vCPU which is running on each pCPU.
The idea is, since we may have to preempt someone:
- try to make sure that the waking vCPU will run
inside its soft-affinity,
- try to preempt someone that is running outside
of its own soft-affinity.
The value of the score is added to a trace record,
so xenalyze's code and tools/xentrace/formats are
updated accordingly.

In order to make uninstall correctly remove the files it is best
the process should be done recursively by mirroring each "install"

An exception to this rule is uninstalling the files produced by
"qemu-xen-dir-remote" and "qemu-xen-traditional-dir", which are external
to the project. These projects do not implement an "uninstall" target so
