arm: gic-v3: deactivate interrupts during initialization
On i.MX8, we implemented partition reboot which means Cortex-A reboot
will not impact M4 cores and System control Unit core. However GICv3 is
not reset because we also need to support A72 Cluster reboot without
affecting A53 Cluster.
The gic-v3 controller is configured with EOImode to 1, so during xen
reboot, there is a function call "smp_call_function(halt_this_cpu, NULL, 0);"
but halt_this_cpu never returns, that means other CPUs have no chance to
deactivate the SGI interrupt, because the deactivate_irq operation is at
the end of do_sgi. During the next boot of Xen, CPU0 will issue
GIC_SGI_CALL_FUNCTION to other CPUs. As the Active state for SGI is left
untouched during the reboot, the GIC_SGI_CALL_FUNCTION will still be active
on the non-boot CPUs. This means the interrupt cannot be triggered again
until it get deactivated.
And according to IHI0069D_gic_architecture_specification, chapter
"8.11.3 GICR_ICACTIVER0, Interrupt Clear-Active Register 0", the RW
field of GICR_ICACTIVER0 resets to a value that is architecturally UNKNOWN.

xen/arm: irq: End cleanly spurious interrupt
no_irq_type handlers are used when an IRQ does not have action attached.
This is useful to detect misconfiguration between the interrupt

Currently, all the handlers will do nothing on spurious interrupt. This

not be dropped and the processor will lose the ability to receive any
interrupt lower or equal to the priority.
Spurious interrupt can happen while releasing interrupt assigned to
guest (happen during domain destruction). The interaction is roughly
Because the no_irq_type.end callback is implemented as a NOP, CPU1 will
not drop the priority of the interrupt. So the CPU will not be able to
receive any interrupt route to any guest afterwards.
The problem can be prevented by dropping the priority and deactivating
the interrupt via gic_hw_ops->gic_host_irq->end().
Note that, for now, interrupt used by Xen are safe because it is not
using no_irq_type on release.

libxl: When restricted, start QEMU paused
libxl runs the command "cont" later during guest creation; i.e. it
is expecting that QEMU would not do any emulation. Use the "-S"
command option to achieve this.
Unfortunately, when QEMU is started with "-S", it won't write QEMU's
readiness into xenstore. So only activate this option when we have a
QEMU startup notification via QMP available, i.e. when dm_restrict
is activated.
The -S option has the side-effect of suppressing the startup
notification via xenstore: libxl will only get the notification via
QMP.
It is important to rely only on QMP for notification when we have
QMP available, as (due to a qemu bug) not waiting for that QMP
notification may result in the QMP socket becoming blocked, so that
QEMU stops responding to new connections even if no existing ones
are active.
When the QEMU bug happens, the actions taken by both libxl and QEMU
are roughly as follows:
- libxl connects and handshakes with QEMU, then sends the
cmd "query-status".
- QEMU prepares and maybe tries to send the response,
while also writing "running" into xenstore.
- libxl sees via xenstore that QEMU is running and disconnects from the
QMP socket before receiving the response from the cmd.
=> The QMP socket (monitor) is thereby blocked and will never reply
to commands on new connections.
This is due to QEMU only responding to one command at a time, and
suspending its monitor (QMP) until the command has been processed and
sent. Disconnecting from the socket doesn't unsuspend the monitor. The
race described here is very likely to happen with QEMU 3.1.50 (during
3.2 development), but can be reproduced with QEMU 3.1.

Another property of looking a vcpu up by id is that it is frequently done in

Introduce a helper to do the lookup correctly, and without speculative
interference. For performance reasons, it is useful not to have an smp_rmb()

arm/p2m: call iommu iotlb flush if iommu exists and enabled
Taking decision by `need_iommu_pt_sync()` make us never kicking
`iommu_iotlb_flush()` for IOMMUs which do share P2M with CPU.
So check `has_iommu_pt()` instead.

docs: Fix all links to Xen man pages in html
Second try, this time also works for all links to xen-vbd-interface(7).
We don't try anymore to have pod2html generate relative links, instead
we do it ourself.
First, we modify all links to man pages to have what looks like an
absolute URL and pod2html will just write it in the html output.
Absolute URL in POD are in the form L<text|scheme:...> so let's just use
a scheme that isn't real, but easy to find in the resulting html output:
"relative:".
Then we fix the output and remove all the bogus scheme "relative" and
can end up with nice relative links.

x86/dom0: Improve dom0= useability
Having a pvh boolean isn't ideal. If we gain a 3rd virtulsation mode,
what does `dom0=no-pvh` mean?
Change the syntax to be "dom0 = pv | pvh" which offers an option to more
obviously select PV mode. Hide both options behind the relevent
CONFIG_* settings, and default to PVH mode when CONFIG_PV is compiled
out.

x86/vm_event: block interrupt injection for sync vm_events
Block interrupts (in vmx_intr_assist()) for the duration of
processing a sync vm_event (similarly to the strategy
currently used for single-stepping). Otherwise, attempting
to emulate an instruction when requested by a vm_event
reply may legitimately need to call e.g.
hvm_inject_page_fault(), which then overwrites the active
interrupt in the VMCS.
The sync vm_event handling path on x86/VMX is (roughly):
monitor_traps() -> process vm_event -> vmx_intr_assist()
(possibly writing VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO) ->
hvm_vm_event_do_resume() -> hvm_emulate_one_vm_event()
(possibly overwriting the VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO value).
This patch may also be helpful for the future removal
of may_defer in hvm_set_cr{0,3,4} and hvm_set_msr().
