[NET] front: Check for received packets in network_open0
Because the backend brings up the interface long before the frontend
has booted up, it is possible that by the time we get here we already
have packets queued up for processing.
If we don't process them here, we may delay them more than what is
necessary. Worse yet, it is possible to miss the notification
interrupt from the backend in such a way that we never get another
one until we bring the interface down and up.

[qemu] Make sure disk writes really made it to disk before we report I/O

[HVM] Add a concept of HVM parameters to the hypervisor.
Each HVM domain has a space of HVM parameters associated with it,

remove that code.

For the purpose of quick compile testing of (namely smaller) changes,
provide a
means to build individual pieces underneath the xen dir (could equally
be applied
to tools, and the top level Makefile could also be made aware of this
logic to
make things even more consistent). At once, add a way to only
pre-process files
in case some of the more complicated macros need change and hence
inspection
of the results.
[LINUX] Allows userspace tools on a domU to set up a watch on the xenstore.
It does this by intercepting XS_WATCH requests written
to /proc/xen/xenbus and then re-submitting the request to the
in-kernel xenstore interface, in
linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_xs.c. When a callback
occurs, an in-kernel function is invoked, which then reconstructs a
response in the format expected by userspace, and sends this response
through /proc/xen/xenbus.
It was necessary to add some supporting infrastructure to
linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_dev.c, such as an
additional mutex to protect the response queue and a list of active
watches associated with each connection.

[ACM] A wxPython GUI tool for sHype/ACM in Xen. It is used
and described in the user guide to demonstrate how to quickly create,
enforce, and test workload protection policies in Xen. The tool is aimed
to improve usability of sHype/ACM for Xen.It is included in a single
file to make it easy to try it out on different platforms (it inherits
the look and feel of the base platform). It is tested on Linux and
Windows. Please read the new user guide section about how to start and
use the tool (section 10.2).
Requirements: python (www.python.org), wxPython (www.wxpython.org or
try 'yum install wxPython').
[DOCS][ACM] Update the user guide for Xen with a chapter describing the
sHype/ACM security module for Xen. Section 10.2 offers a quick guide
showing how to setup and test the workload protection with sHype/ACM
in Xen.
This patch adds TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) support to the
frontend.
It also advertises this fact through xenbus so that the frontend can
detect this and send through TSO requests only if it is supported.
This is done using an extra request slot which is indicated by a flag
in the first slot. In future checksum offload can be done in the same
way.
Even though only TSO is supported for now the code actually supports
GSO so it can be applied to any other protocol. The only missing bit
is the detection of host support for a specific GSO protocol. Once
that is added we can advertise all supported protocols to the guest.

This patch adds scatter-and-gather support to the frontend. It also
advertises this fact through xenbus so that the backend can detect
this and send through SG requests only if it is supported.
SG support is required to support skb's larger than one page. This
in turn is needed for either jumbo MTU or TSO. One of these is
required to bring local networking performance up to a level that
is acceptable.

This patch adds a tx queue to the backend if the frontend supports rx
refill notification. A queue is needed because SG/TSO greatly reduces
the number of packets that can be stored in the rx ring. Given an rx
ring with 256 entries, a maximum TSO packet can occupy as many as 18
entries, meaning that the entire ring can only hold 14 packets. This
is too small at high bandwidths with large TCP RX windows.
Having a tx queue does not present a new security risk as the queue is
a fixed size buffer just like the rx ring. So each guest can only
hold a
fixed amount of memory (proportional to the tx queue length) on the
host.

[TPM] Remove some stale code from the TPM backend driver. The code

Modified to only send notification if req_event index is set

[NET] back: Replace netif->status with netif_carrier_ok
The connection status to the frontend can be represented using
netif_carrier_ok instead of netif->status. As a result, we delay
the construction of the dev qdisc until the carrier comes on. This
is a prerequisite for adding a tx queue.
By the same token, netif->active is now simply the conjunction of
netif_running and netif_carrier_ok so it too can be removed.
Because netif_carrier_off/netif_carrier_on and rtnl_lock all entail
memory barriers, there is no need to have extra memory barriers around
them.

[NET] front: Clean up rx ring recovery. Signed-off-by: Keir Fraser <keir@xensource.com>
This is an update to c/s
10855:03c8002068d9d60c7bbfc2f41af975e09b2e2211
which should have contained the following changeset message
(rather than 'Merge.').
[NET] front: Stop using rx->id
With the current protocol for transferring packets from dom0 to domU,
the
rx->id field is useless because it can be derived from the rx request
ring
ID. In particular,
rx->id = (ring_id & NET_RX_RING_SIZE - 1) + 1;
This formula works because the rx response to each request always
occupies
the same slot that the request arrived in. This in turn is a
consequence
of the fact that each packet only occupies one slot.
The other important reason that this works for dom0=>domU but not
domU=>dom0
is that the resource associated with the rx->id is freed immediately
while
in the domU=>dom0 case the resource is held until the skb is liberated
by
dom0.
Using this formula we can essentially remove rx->id from the protocol,
freeing up space that could be instead be used by things like TSO.
The
only constraint is that the backend must obey the rule that each id
must
only be used in the response that occupies the same slot as the
request.
The actual field of rx->id is still maintained for compatibility with
older backends.
