[ Upstream commit 4dca864b59dd150a221730775e2f21f49779c135 ]

This patch removes duplicate macro useage in events_base.c.

It also fixes gcc warning:
variable ‘col’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

commit eef04c7b3786ff0c9cb1019278b6c6c2ea0ad4ff upstream.

Commit 910f8befdf5b ("xen/pirq: fix error path cleanup when binding
MSIs") fixed a couple of errors in error cleanup path of
xen_bind_pirq_msi_to_irq(). This cleanup allowed a call to
__unbind_from_irq() with an unbound irq, which would result in
triggering the BUG_ON there.

Since there is really no reason for the BUG_ON (xen_free_irq() can
operate on unbound irqs) we can remove it.

[ Upstream commit 910f8befdf5bccf25287d9f1743e3e546bcb7ce0 ]

Current cleanup in the error path of xen_bind_pirq_msi_to_irq is
wrong. First of all there's an off-by-one in the cleanup loop, which
can lead to unbinding wrong IRQs.

Secondly IRQs not bound won't be freed, thus leaking IRQ numbers.

Note that there's no need to differentiate between bound and unbound
IRQs when freeing them, __unbind_from_irq will deal with both of them
correctly.

commit f0f393877c71ad227d36705d61d1e4062bc29cf5 upstream.

Commit ff1e22e7a638 ("xen/events: Mask a moving irq") open-coded
irq_move_irq() but left out checking if the IRQ is disabled. This broke
resuming from suspend since it tries to move a (disabled) irq without
holding the IRQ's desc-&gt;lock. Fix it by adding in a check for disabled
IRQs.

The resulting stacktrace was:

commit ff1e22e7a638a0782f54f81a6c9cb139aca2da35 upstream.

Moving an unmasked irq may result in irq handler being invoked on both
source and target CPUs.

With 2-level this can happen as follows:

On source CPU:
        evtchn_2l_handle_events() -&gt;
            generic_handle_irq() -&gt;
                handle_edge_irq() -&gt;
                   eoi_pirq():
                       irq_move_irq(data);

                       /***** WE ARE HERE *****/

                       if (VALID_EVTCHN(evtchn))
                           clear_evtchn(evtchn);

If at this moment target processor is handling an unrelated event in
evtchn_2l_handle_events()'s loop it may pick up our event since target's
cpu_evtchn_mask claims that this event belongs to it *and* the event is
unmasked and still pending. At the same time, source CPU will continue
executing its own handle_edge_irq().

With FIFO interrupt the scenario is similar: irq_move_irq() may result
in a EVTCHNOP_unmask hypercall which, in turn, may make the event
pending on the target CPU.

We can avoid this situation by moving and clearing the event while
keeping event masked.

When a CPU is offlined, there may be unprocessed events on a port for
that CPU.  If the port is subsequently reused on a different CPU, it
could be in an unexpected state with the link bit set, resulting in
interrupts being missed. Fix this by consuming any unprocessed events
for a particular CPU when that CPU dies.

<title>xen/events: Always allocate legacy interrupts on PV guests</title>

After commit 8c058b0b9c34 ("x86/irq: Probe for PIC presence before
allocating descs for legacy IRQs") early_irq_init() will no longer
preallocate descriptors for legacy interrupts if PIC does not
exist, which is the case for Xen PV guests.

Therefore we may need to allocate those descriptors ourselves.

<title>xen/events: fifo: Make it running on 64KB granularity</title>

Only use the first 4KB of the page to store the events channel info. It
means that we will waste 60KB every time we allocate page for:
     * control block: a page is allocating per CPU
     * event array: a page is allocating everytime we need to expand it

I think we can reduce the memory waste for the 2 areas by:

    * control block: sharing between multiple vCPUs. Although it will
    require some bookkeeping in order to not free the page when the CPU
    goes offline and the other CPUs sharing the page still there

    * event array: always extend the array event by 64K (i.e 16 4K
    chunk). That would require more care when we fail to expand the
    event channel.
