Introduce gnttab_unmap_refs_async() that can be used to safely unmap
pages that may be in use (ref count > 1). If the pages are in use the
unmap is deferred and retried later. This polling is not very clever
but it should be good enough if the cases where the delay is necessary
are rare.
The initial delay is 5 ms and is increased linearly on each subsequent
retry (to reduce load if the page is in use for a long time).
This is needed to allow block backends using grant mapping to safely
use network storage (block or filesystem based such as iSCSI or NFS).
The network storage driver may complete a block request whilst there
is a queued network packet retry (because the ack from the remote end
races with deciding to queue the retry). The pages for the retried
packet would be grant unmapped and the network driver (or hardware)
would access the unmapped page.

When unmapping grants, instead of converting the kernel map ops to
unmap ops on the fly, pre-populate the set of unmap ops.
This allows the grant unmap for the kernel mappings to be trivially
batched in the future.

arch_gnttab_map_frames() and arch_gnttab_unmap_frames() are called in
atomic context but were calling alloc_vm_area() which might sleep.
Also, if a driver attempts to allocate a grant ref from an interrupt
and the table needs expanding, then the CPU may already by in lazy MMU
mode and apply_to_page_range() will BUG when it tries to re-enable
lazy MMU mode.
These two functions are only used in PV guests.
Introduce arch_gnttab_init() to allocates the virtual address space in
advance.
Avoid the use of apply_to_page_range() by using saving and using the
array of PTE addresses from the alloc_vm_area() call.
N.B. 'alloc_vm_area' pre-allocates the pagetable so there is no need
to worry about having to do a PGD/PUD/PMD walk (like apply_to_page_range
does) and we can instead do set_pte.

The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it,
for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as
those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following:
- the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new
parameter m2p_override
- based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set
the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine
- gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with
m2p_override false
- a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour
It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if
XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value
there.
v2:
- move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs
- move the function header update to a separate patch
v3:
- a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed
- squash the patches into one
v4:
- move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter
- clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override
won't race with this
v5:
- change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs
- remove a stray space in page.h
- add detail why ret = 0 now at some places
v6:
- don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally

The 'xen_hvm_resume_frames' used to be an 'unsigned long'
and contain the virtual address of the grants. That was OK
for most architectures (PVHVM, ARM) were the grants are contiguous
in memory. That however is not the case for PVH - in which case
we will have to do a lookup for each virtual address for the PFN.
Instead of doing that, lets make it a structure which will contain
the array of PFNs, the virtual address and the count of said PFNs.
Also provide a generic functions: gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames and
gnttab_free_auto_xlat_frames to populate said structure with
appropriate values for PVHVM and ARM.
To round it off, change the name from 'xen_hvm_resume_frames' to
a more descriptive one - 'xen_auto_xlat_grant_frames'.
For PVH, in patch "xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM for grant driver"
we will populate the 'xen_auto_xlat_grant_frames' by ourselves.
v2 moves the xen_remap in the gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames
and also introduces xen_unmap for gnttab_free_auto_xlat_frames.

Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a
foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will
initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an
asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is
expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The
foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the
pager assist (typical scenario for dom0).
This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant
mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and
gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies
foreign grants).
* Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the
target foreign frame is paged out).
* Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers.
The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain.
It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other
status code results in identical code execution as before.
The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a
32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry.
V2 after feedback from David Vrabel:
* Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero
* Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module.
V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell:
* Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated
error code we jump over.
* Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor.
* Some renaming.
* Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface.
V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers.

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use
kmap_op->dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is
part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it
might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later
on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is
actually what Xen has written to it.
Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using
page->index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to
m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead.
It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op
corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only
user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

Receiver-side copying of packets is based on this implementation, it gives
better performance and better CPU accounting. It totally supports three types:
full-page, sub-page and transitive grants.
However this patch does not cover sub-page and transitive grants, it mainly
focus on Full-page part and implements grant table V2 interfaces corresponding
to what already exists in grant table V1, such as: grant table V2
initialization, mapping, releasing and exported interfaces.
Each guest can only supports one type of grant table type, every entry in grant
table should be the same version. It is necessary to set V1 or V2 version before
initializing the grant table.
Grant table exported interfaces of V2 are same with those of V1, Xen is
responsible to judge what grant table version guests are using in every grant
operation.
V2 fulfills the same role of V1, and it is totally backwards compitable with V1.
If dom0 support grant table V2, the guests runing on it can run with either V1
or V2.

If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user
vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the
kernel mappings accordingly.
Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages
through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the
kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping.
However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't
start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage.
In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated
the pages lowmem.
We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in
m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another
HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override.
Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called
once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching.
Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is
guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done.
Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the
mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be
set correctly.

Add the xen pci platform device driver that is responsible
for initializing the grant table and xenbus in PV on HVM mode.
Few changes to xenbus and grant table are necessary to allow the delayed
initialization in HVM mode.
Grant table needs few additional modifications to work in HVM mode.
The Xen PCI platform device raises an irq every time an event has been
delivered to us. However these interrupts are only delivered to vcpu 0.
The Xen PCI platform interrupt handler calls xen_hvm_evtchn_do_upcall
that is a little wrapper around __xen_evtchn_do_upcall, the traditional
Xen upcall handler, the very same used with traditional PV guests.
When running on HVM the event channel upcall is never called while in
progress because it is a normal Linux irq handler (and we cannot switch
the irq chip wholesale to the Xen PV ones as we are running QEMU and
might have passed in PCI devices), therefore we cannot be sure that
evtchn_upcall_pending is 0 when returning.
For this reason if evtchn_upcall_pending is set by Xen we need to loop
again on the event channels set pending otherwise we might loose some
event channel deliveries.

This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.
Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
drivers/xen/manage.c. When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
prepares itself for saving by:
1 - Freeze all processes. This is primarily to prevent any
partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
process. If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.
2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices
3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent. The
Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.
4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally
5 - Suspend the domain
Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
the frozen processes are thawed.

Don't use alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() directly, instead define
xen_alloc_vm_area()/xen_free_vm_area() and use them.
alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are used to allocate/free area which
are for grant table mapping. Xen/x86 grant table is based on virtual
address so that alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are suitable.
On the other hand Xen/ia64 (and Xen/powerpc) grant table is based on
pseudo physical address (guest physical address) so that allocation
should be done differently.
The original version of xenified Linux/IA64 have its own
allocate_vm_area()/free_vm_area() definitions which don't allocate vm area
contradictory to those names.
Now vanilla Linux already has its definitions so that it's impossible
to have IA64 definitions of allocate_vm_area()/free_vm_area().
