x86/hvm: don't rely on shared ioreq state for completion handling
Both hvm_io_pending() and hvm_wait_for_io() use the shared (with emulator)
ioreq structure to determined whether there is a pending I/O. The latter will
misbehave if the shared state is driven to STATE_IOREQ_NONE by the emulator,
or when the shared ioreq page is cleared for re-insertion into the guest
P2M when the ioreq server is disabled (STATE_IOREQ_NONE == 0) because it
will terminate its wait without calling hvm_io_assist() to adjust Xen's
internal I/O emulation state. This may then lead to an io completion
handler finding incorrect internal emulation state and calling
domain_crash().
This patch fixes the problem by adding a pending flag to the ioreq server's
per-vcpu structure which cannot be directly manipulated by the emulator
and thus can be used to determine whether an I/O is actually pending for
that vcpu on that ioreq server. If an I/O is pending and the shared state
is seen to go to STATE_IOREQ_NONE then it can be treated as an abnormal
completion of emulation (hence the data placed in the shared structure
is not used) and the internal state is adjusted as for a normal completion.
Thus, when a completion handler subsequently runs, the internal state is as
expected and domain_crash() will not be called.

Part of the callback contract with check_all_finished() is that each

Previously, it was possible for stream_continue() or
write_toolstack_record() to fail and call into check_all_finished(). As
the save helpers callback has fired, it no longer counts as in use,
which causes check_all_finished() to fire the stream callback. Then,
unwinding the stack back and calling check_all_finished() a second time
results in the same conditions being observed, and the stream callback
being fired a second time.
To avoid this, check_all_finished() is called before any other actions
which continue the stream functionality, and the stream is only
continued if it has not been torn down. This guarantees not to continue
stream operations if the stream does not owe a callback to
check_all_finished().

libxl: check nesthvm and altp2m in libxl

This patch moves the check to libxl. The code snippet is moved after

libxc: fix memory leak in migration v2
Originally there was only one counter to keep track of pages. It was
used erroneously to keep track of how many pages were mapped and how
many pages needed to be sent. In the end munmap(2) always had 0 as the
length argument, which resulted in leaking the mapping.
This problem was discovered on 32bit toolstack because 32bit applications
have notably smaller address space. In fact this bug affects 64bit
toolstack too.
Use a separate counter to keep track of the number of mapped pages to

xen/tools: Widen the machine_irq in xc_domain_*bind_pt_irq_int
The DOMCTLs {,un}bind_pt_irq are using uint32_t for the machine_irq
while the helper is using uint8_t.
Currently on ARM, we are supporting SPIs whose irq number can go up to
1019 which doesn't fit in an uint8_t. The helpers xc_domain_bind_pt_spi
and xc_domain_unbint_pt_spi are correctly taking an uint16_t so the
libxc was truncating without noticing the user which may end up to
route the wrong IRQ.
Fix the problem by widening the machine_irq parameter in
xc_domain_*bind_pt_irq_int.
Note that XEN_DOMCTL_irq_permission has the same problem but it's not
used at the moment on ARM. So we can defer the changes after the release
of Xen 4.7.
In setup_mm(), the value passed as xenheap_megabytes gets
converted to pages and passed to setup_xenheap_mappings(),
which in turn passes it to create_32mb_mappings(), which
contains an ASSERT that the value passed is a multiple of
32MB. So specifying any value that is not an integer multiple
of 32 will cause Xen to hit this assert and fail to boot.

sched/cpupool: properly update affinity when removing a cpu from a cpupool
And this time, do it right. In fact, a similar change was
attempted in 93be8285a79c6 ("cpupools: update domU's node-affinity
on the cpupool_unassign_cpu() path"). But that was buggy, and got
reverted with 8395b67ab0b8a86.
However, even though reverting was the right thing to do, it
remains true that:
- calling the function is better done in the cpupool cpu removal
code, even if just for simmetry with the cpupool cpu adding path;
- it is not necessary to call it during cpu teardown (for suspend
or shutdown) code as we either are going down and will never
come up (shutdown) or, when coming up, we want everything to be
as before the tearing down process started, and so we would just
undo any update made during the process.
- calling it from the teardown path is not only unnecessary, but
it can trigger an ASSERT(), in case we get, during the process,
to remove the last online pcpu of a domain's node affinity:
Therefore, for all these reasons, move the call from
cpu_disable_schedule() to cpupool_unassign_cpu_helper().
While there, add some sanity checking (in the latter function), and
make sure that scanning the domain list is done with domlist_read_lock
held, at least when the system is 'live'.
I re-tested the scenario described in here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/235310

In both cases, the problem is the scheduler not being able
to:
- move all the vcpus to the boot cpu (as the boot cpu is
not in the cpupool), in the former;
- move the vcpus away from a cpu at all (as that is the
only one cpu in the cpupool), in the latter.
Solution is to distinguish, inside cpu_disable_scheduler(),
the two cases of cpupool manipulation and teardown. For
cpupool manipulation, it is correct to ask the scheduler to
take an action, as pathological situation (like there not
being any cpu in the pool where to send vcpus) are taken
care of (i.e., forbidden!) already. For suspend and shutdown,
we don't want the scheduler to be involved at all, as the
final goal is pretty simple: "send all the vcpus to the
boot cpu ASAP", so we just go for it.

While building a VM, HVM domain builder provides struct hvm_info_table{}
to help hvmloader. Currently it includes two fields to construct guest
e820 table by hvmloader, low_mem_pgend and high_mem_pgend. So we should
check them to fix any conflict with RDM.
RMRR can reside in address space beyond 4G theoretically, but we never
see this in real world. So in order to avoid breaking highmem layout
we don't solve highmem conflict. Note this means highmem rmrr could still
be supported if no conflict.
But in the case of lowmem, RMRR probably scatter the whole RAM space.
Especially multiple RMRR entries would worsen this to lead a complicated
memory layout. And then its hard to extend hvm_info_table{} to work
hvmloader out. So here we're trying to figure out a simple solution to
avoid breaking existing layout. So when a conflict occurs,
#1. Above a predefined boundary (2G)
- move lowmem_end below reserved region to solve conflict;
#2. Below a predefined boundary (2G)
- Check strict/relaxed policy.
"strict" policy leads to fail libxl. Note when both policies
are specified on a given region, 'strict' is always preferred.
"relaxed" policy issue a warning message and also mask this entry INVALID
to indicate we shouldn't expose this entry to hvmloader.
Note later we need to provide a parameter to set that predefined boundary
dynamically.
