This patch adds support to XenD for configuring the previously added

x86/64: paravirt 32-on-64 call gate support
As we realized while trying out NetWare's ring 3 support, call gates
didn't work for 32-bit guests on 64-bit hypervisor. Since x86-64
doesn't know 16- or 32-bit call gates, the only option was to emulate
them. The code here was developed against 3.0.4, so hasn't been
checked for potential integration possibilities with the much improved
emulator; nevertheless I want to supply this patch.
As was realized in the course of creating this patch, 64-bit gates
don't work either, and will also need to be emulated if any
environment intends to use them. The patch changes behavior here in
that rather silently permitting the use of 64-bit gates (with possibly
difficult to understand exceptions happening on the first instruction
of the call/jump target) the call/jump itself will now fault, with the
error code indicating the gate that was attempted to be used. I intend
to complete the emulation to also cover 64-bit gates, but there is one
issue that first needs to be addressed: Whether a gate transitions
from user to kernel mode doesn't depend on the gate, but rather on the
descriptor referenced by the selector held in the gate. As the two can
change independently, this decision can be made only at the point of
use of the gate, and consequently descriptors for kernel code segments
must become distinguishable from user ones, which they currently
aren't as they both get their DPL forced to 3. An initial thought here
is to possibly leverage the otherwise meaningless conforming bit
(i.e. forcing it on for all user code segments, and off for kernel
ones, where then the distinction can be made at the point the
descriptor gets verified/fixed up based of the kernel supplied DPL
[wouldn't work for old guests when setting the DPL to 3 was still
required to be done by the guest]).
The patch also changes behavior of check_descriptor() in that no
modification is done to the descriptor anymore unless all verification
steps passed, and in that the selector RPL of selectors in call gates
no longer gets fixed up (a comment elsewhere in the code correctly
states that the RPL field here isn't used for anything by the
processor); really, this field is now used on 64-bits to store the
original DPL of the gate, because the architectural one now gets
forced to zero.

This patch improves the performance of Standard VGA,

It does so by buffering all the stdvga programmed output ops

We maintain locally essential VGA state so we can respond
immediately to input and read ops without waiting for
QEMU. We snoop output and write ops to keep our state
up-to-date.
PIO input ops are satisfied from cached state without
bothering QEMU.
PIO output and mmio ops are passed through to QEMU, including
mmio read ops. This is necessary because mmio reads
can have side effects.
I have changed the format of the buffered_iopage.
It used to contain 80 elements of type ioreq_t (48 bytes each).
Now it contains 672 elements of type buf_ioreq_t (6 bytes each).
Being able to pipeline 8 times as many ops improves
VGA performance by a factor of 8.
I changed hvm_buffered_io_intercept to use the same
registration and callback mechanism as hvm_portio_intercept
rather than the hacky hardcoding it used before.

pv-qemu 9/10: XenD device model re-factoring

user explicitly include the device_model option in the config

paravirt guest.
The bulk of this patch involves moving code from the HVMImageHandler
into the base ImageHandler class. The HVMImageHandler and
LinuxImageHandler subclasses now merely containing a couple of
overrides to set some specific command line flags. The most important
is -M xenpv, vs -M xenfv.
The XenConfig class has a minor refactoring to add a has_rfb() method
to avoid duplicating code in a couple of places. Instead of hardcoding
DEFAULT_DM it now uses the xen.util.auxbin APIs to locate it - this
works on platforms where qemu-dm is in /usr/lib64 instead of
/usr/lib. As before paravirt only gets a default qemu-dm if using a
VFB.
The vfbif.py class is trimmed out since it no longer needs to spawn a

pv-qemu 7/10: Async negotiation with xenfb frontend
This patch re-factors the paravirt console xenfb_attach_dom
method. The original method blocks the caller until the front &
backends have both switched to the connected state. This isn't an
immediate problem, but patches which follow will extend qemu to also
handle the text console so blocking on graphics console startup will
block the text console processing.
The new code is basically a state machine. It starts off with a watch
waiting for the KBD backend to switch to 'initialized' mode, then does
the same for the FB backend. Now it waits for KBD & FB frontend
devices to initialize, reading & mapping the framebuffer & its config
at the appropriate step. When the KBD frontend finally reaches the
connected state it registers a graphical console with QEMU and sets up
the various framebuffer, mouse & keyboard event handlers. If a client
connects to the VNC server before this is completed, then they will
merely see a text console (or perhaps the monitor if configured that
way).
The main difference from previous versions of this patch, is that at
the suggestion of Markus Armbruster, I'vere-ordered the individual
static functions so they are in order-of-call, rather than
reversed. Although I now have to pre-declare them, it is much easier

pv-qemu 2/10: Add a QEMU machine type for paravirt guests
This patch adds a paravirt machine type to QEMU. This can be requested
by passing the arg '-M xenpv' to qemu-dm. Aside from -d, and
-domain-name, the only other args that are processed are the VNC / SDL
graphics related args. Any others will be ignored. A tweak to
helper2.c was made to stop it setting up a file handler watch when
there are no CPUs registered.
The paravirt machine is in hw/xen_machine_pv.c and registers an
instance of the xenfb class, integrating it with the QEMU event loop
and key/mouse handlers. A couple of methods were adding to xenfb.h to
allow direct access to the file handles for xenstore & the event
channel.
The vfbif.py device controller is modified to launch qemu-dm instead
of the old xen-vncfb / sdlfb daemons.
When receiving framebuffer updates from the guest, the update has to
be copied into QEMU's copy of the framebuffer. This is because QEMU
stores the framebuffer in the format that is native to the SDL
display, or VNC client. This is not neccessarily the same as the guest
framebuffer which is always 32bpp. If there is an exact depth match we
use memcpy for speed, but in the non-matching case we have to fallback
to slow code to convert pixel formats. It fully supports all features
of the paravirt framebuffer including the choice between absolute &
relative pointers. The overall VIRT memory image size is about same as
old xen-vncfb, but the resident memory size is a little increased due
to copy of the framebuffer & some QEMU static state overhead. Most of
this is shared across QEMU processes.
To avoid both moving the xenfb.c and making changes to it in the same
patch, this just uses a Makefile hack to link against the xenfb.o from
the tools/xenfb/ directory. This will be removed in the following

x86: small boot-time changes:
* use memory 0x8c000-0x90000 to avoid trampling the area above
0x90000 -- some bootloaders may leave droppings in that region
* reserve 2kB for vga mode table -- limit of 128 VESA modes could
overflow the original 1kB allocation
* remove unnecessary alignment of trampoline GDT

[IA64] Don't share privregs with hvm domain
Don't share privregs with hvm domain and twist IA64 xen dump core format
slightly. Xen shares privregs pages with IA64 HVM domain for xm dump-core
to dump the pages. However sharing the page allows hvm guest domain
peek/destroy the page contents that might cause xen crash. And the xen
dump core file doesn't need privregs page because cpu context should be
obtained from vcpu context in case of IA64 HVM domain.
Although this patch modify xen dump core format, current crash utility
(at least crash 4.0-4.7) doesn't look into .xen_ia64_mmapped_regs section
and I don't know any other tools to understand xen dump core file.
So this format modification doesn't cause incompatibility issue.

[IA64] Kdump: 64-bit aligned access to elf-note data
xen_core_regs, as passed by kexec_crash_save_info(), is 32-bit aligned as
it is the data section of an ELF-note. In order to ensure 64-bit aligned
access when xen_core_regs is filled in, shift it a bit and then memmove()
the data back into the 32-bit aligned location after the values have been
written.
Without this change kdump panics on an unaligned-access.
