[LINUX][BLK] front: More care over device teardown.
1. We must ensure gnttab callbacks are disabled and all work
flushed before tearing down device state. A new gnttab interface
call is added for this purpose.
2. blkif_free() must check for a request_queue before deref'ing it. Signed-off-by: Keir Fraser <keir@xensource.com>

[LINUX] Fix IRQ SMP affinity logic for event channels.
The logic now mimics native x86 behaviour: a request to change
affinity via /proc is held until the next interrupt on that
event channel. So /proc/irq/n/smp_affinity may not change
immediately!
Other notes:
1. CPU-specific interrupts silently ignore requests to change
affinity. For example, resched0, timer0, callfunc0, ...
2. Reading smp_affinity always returns a cpumask containing
a single cpu. An event channel can only be bound to a single
cpu at a time. Neither Xen nor XenLinux implement IRQ
balancing: requires a user-space balancing daemon.

Reset Cirrus device model `VRAM' whenever a VGA/SVGA mode switch occurs.
If you change the video resolution on a Windows XP guest such that it uses
fewer bytes of VRAM (either by using fewer bytes per pixel or by lowering the
resolution) then some window backgrounds will become corrupted. This happens
because the Windows XP Cirrus Logic driver assumes that VRAM is initialized
to 0xff whenever the video mode switches between VGA and SVGA.
[HVM][DM] Cleaner way of clearing VGA memory on mode changes (thanks to
Fabrice Bellard on the QEMU project). This patch clears the
memory in the BIOS call rather than when the Cirrus Logic register changes,
which more closely matches what happens on the real hardware.

[XEND] Wait sufficient time for memory to balloon out before creating a new domain.
On the ES7000 when Dom0 boots up with all of system memory and you try
to bring up a DomU with more than 2GB of memory, xend times out before
the memory is freed causing the domain not to be created. This patch
increases the timeout depending on the amount of memory that needs to be
freed. It also places a cap on the sleep time so that it does not grow
without a limit. This fixes bug# 650
Fix IDE CD-drive PIO mode.
CD drives in PIO mode don't work under Xen because of a change in Linux
between 2.6.12 and 2.6.16, as a result of the following thread:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2005-August/027197.html
The change breaks systems which have highmem and a swiotlb because the
ide-cd driver doesn't use the swiotlb, resulting in read/writes to/from
highmem pages in PIO mode not working any longer. Xen kernels usually have
both highmem and a swiotlb.

build: Remove iptables and python loging helper targets
These targets don't really fit into the build infastructure,
for instance there is no faclilty for them to be removed
on make distclean. I posted a patch that fleshed out the targets,
but Christian Limpach suggested to me that removing them
would be a better idea.
In the case where XEN_PYTHON_NATIVE_INSTALL is in effect,
if DESTDIR is not set then the install will go into a relative
directory rather than under the default prefix (usually /usr).
An alternate solution would be to update the fragments
that do the python install to use 2062 2062 141 126DESTDIR)/ instead of
2062 2062 141 126DESTDIR). This is not an incredible burden as there
are only two such fragments in the tree. However, it
seems prone to error as new makefiles are created
in the future.
* Move .PHONY directives next to targets,
this makes them a lot harder to miss
* Add missing .PHONY directives
* Remove nonexistent .PHONY directives
* Hopefully I didn'T miss anything...

Fix blkif and netif backend teardown -- do not remove devices from
sysfs (and hence trigger hotplug callbacks) until the devices really
are dead. This fixes a bug where the deferred code to free a blk
device was running concurrently with a hotplug-remove callback which
would try to reclaim the underlying storage. In some cases the race
would be lost and the hotplug script would fail.
Thanks to the Zhu Han at Intel for finding the root cause of this
long-term and annoying bug!
The current Xen code for VMX is setting the gp fault vmexiting in
the EXCEPTION_BITMAP vmcs control. There is no need for that as VMM is
just plainly re-injecting back to the guest. The attached is a simple
patch to set the vmcs control properly.

Fix injection of guest faults resulting from failed injection of a
previous event. We enter an infinite loop if the original failed
injection cannot be fixed up by Xen (e.g., because it's not a shadow
pagetable issue).
The RHEL4 HVM guest hang issue was actually a side effect of
change-set 9699. In the rhel4 guest hang rc.sysinit init-script was
calls kmodule program to probe the hardware. The kmodule uses the kudzu
library call probeDevices(). For probing the graphics hardware in the
vbe_get_mode_info() function, sets up the environment and goes into the
vm86 mode to do the int x10 call. For returning back to protected mode
it sets up a int 0xff call. At the time of calling the int 0xff the
guest process pages were not filled up. And it was causing an infinite
loop of vmexits with the IDT_VECTORING_INFO on the int 0xff instruction.
The reason for the infinite loop is changeset 9699. With that
the guest page fault was always getting overridden by the int 0xff gp
fault coming from the IDT_VECTORING_INFO. With the attached patch if VMM
is injecting exceptions like page faults or gp faults then
IDT_VECTORING_INFO field does not override it, and that breaks the
vmexit infinite loop for the rhel4.

Fix python pciif script to reference correct 2.0 compatibility variable.
In the Xen 2.0.x compatibility section of xend (where we try to parse
the s-expressions if they came from an SXP configuration file for Xen
2.0.x), the wrong variable is referenced. This fix corrects the python
script to use the correct variable.
Thanks to Mike Wright for reporting this.

Fix Xen's interrupt acknowledgement routines on certain
(apparently broken) IO-APIC hardware:
1. Do not mask/unmask the IO-APIC pin during normal ISR
processing. This seems to have really bizarre side effects
on some chipsets.
2. Since we instead tickle the local APIC in the ->end
irq hook function, it *must* run on the CPU that
received the interrupt. Therefore we track which CPUs
need to do final acknowledgement and IPI them if
necessary to do so.
New IO-APIC ACK method seems to cause problems on some systems
(e.g., Dell 1850). Disable it by default for now, but allow the
new mwethod to be tested by passing boot parameter 'new_ack'
to Xen.
You can tell which ACK method you are using because Xen prints
out "Using old ACK method" or "Using new ACK method" during boot.
This workaround can be removed if/when the problems with the new
ACK method are flushed out.
Big fixes for the new IO-APIC acknowledging method. The problems
were:
1. Some critical Xen interrupts could get blocked behind
unacknowledged guest interrupts. This is avoided by making
all Xen-bound interrrupts strictly higher priority.
2. Interrupts must not only be EOIed on the CPU that received
them, but also in reverse order when interrupts are nested.
A whole load of logic has been added to ensure this.
There are two boot parameters relating to all this:
'ioapic_ack=old' -- use the old IO-APIC ACK method
'ioapic_ack=new' -- use the new IO-APIC ACK method (default)
'force_intack' -- periodically force acknowledgement of
interrupts (default is no; useful for debugging)
This patch defines a test_and_clear bitop for cpumask_t pointers.
Also fixes "wrong pointer type" for type specific bitops by using
&foo[0] instead of &foo.
Occasionally large smp machines fail to reboot properly and die under
an IPI storm of smp_call_function() to machine_reboot. Only the boot
processor needs to run machine_restart, so send an IPI to CPU0.
This patch addresses CVE-2006-1056 (information leak from
fxsave/fxrstor on AMD CPUs) and also adjusts 64-bit handling so that
full 64-bit RIP/RDP values get saved/restored. More fine-grained
handling may be needed if 32-bit processes are expected to properly
see their selectors (native Linux doesn't currently do that either,
but there is a patch to adjust it there).

While other aspects of the system configuration may still be
controlled by the outcome of the table scan, if apic= was given on the
command line its effect should not be overridden here.
Do not create blkback vbd kernel thread until fully connected
to frontend driver. Otherwise the kernel thread may crash trying
to access the non-existent shared ring.
The Xen checksum offload feature attempts to insert a TCP/UDP
checksums into already encrypted packets (esp4) in dom0. Obviously,
it is not possible to insert a checksum into an already encrypted
packet, so this patch inserts the checksum prior to encrypting
packets in net/ipv4/xfrm4_output.c.
To do this cleanly, the TCP/UDP header pointers need to be pointed to
the correct spot, so this functionality has been abstracted into a new
function.
This patch fixes bug 143 (verified by Jim Dykman). Earlier version
verified by Jon McCune.

Remove update_vcpu_system_time() call from the per-VCPU timer
callback function. It's unnecessary and in fact may occasionally
even run on the wrong CPU.
