In bind_evtchn_to_irq_chip() don't increment the refcnt of the event

warning instead.

Add an additional safety net by doing the refcnt increment only if the
caller has specified IRQF_SHARED in the irqflags parameter.

When unbinding a user event channel, the related handler might be
called a last time in case the kernel was built with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ. This might cause a WARN() in the handler.

Avoid that by adding an "unbinding" flag to struct user_event which
will short circuit the handler.

When running as PVH or HVM Linux will use holes in the memory map as scratch
space to map grants, foreign domain pages and possibly miscellaneous other
stuff.  However the usage of such memory map holes for Xen purposes can be
problematic.  The request of holesby Xen happen quite early in the kernel boot
process (grant table setup already uses scratch map space), and it's possible
that by then not all devices have reclaimed their MMIO space.  It's not
unlikely for chunks of Xen scratch map space to end up using PCI bridge MMIO
window memory, which (as expected) causes quite a lot of issues in the system.

At least for PVH dom0 we have the possibility of using regions marked as
UNUSABLE in the e820 memory map.  Either if the region is UNUSABLE in the
native memory map, or it has been converted into UNUSABLE in order to hide RAM
regions from dom0, the second stage translation page-tables can populate those
areas without issues.

PV already has this kind of logic, where the balloon driver is inflated at
boot.  Re-use the current logic in order to also inflate it when running as
PVH.  onvert UNUSABLE regions up to the ratio specified in EXTRA_MEM_RATIO to
RAM, while reserving them using xen_add_extra_mem() (which is also moved so
it's no longer tied to CONFIG_PV).

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).

  FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
  of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:

   1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
      in nested exception scenarios.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
      exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
      each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
      of #NMI code to handle this.

   3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
      which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
      to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.

   4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
      is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
      stack trace.

   5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment

   6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
      on large systems.

   7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources

  FRED addresses these shortcomings by:

   1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
      exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
      for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
      complexity of preserving it in software.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
      exception uses the currently interrupt stack.

   3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
      BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
      per CPU variable access is done in hardware.

   4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
      return from NMI.

   5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP

   6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
      because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
      and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
      syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
      entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
      the vector space restriction.

      The first hardware implementations will still have the current
      restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
      further changes to the local APIC.

   7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
      allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
      required local APIC changes are in place.

  The series implements the initial FRED support by:

   - Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
     accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.

   - Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
     requires to store context and meta information

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
     information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE

   - Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
     demultiplex the events

   - Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
     tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.

  The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
  implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
  like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
  impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
  extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
  therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.

  It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
  simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

shutdown_pirq and startup_pirq are not taking the
irq_mapping_update_lock because they can't due to lock inversion. Both
are called with the irq_desc-&gt;lock being taking. The lock order,
however, is first irq_mapping_update_lock and then irq_desc-&gt;lock.

This opens multiple races:
- shutdown_pirq can be interrupted by a function that allocates an event
  channel:

  CPU0                        CPU1
  shutdown_pirq {
    xen_evtchn_close(e)
                              __startup_pirq {
                                EVTCHNOP_bind_pirq
                                  -&gt; returns just freed evtchn e
                                set_evtchn_to_irq(e, irq)
                              }
    xen_irq_info_cleanup() {
      set_evtchn_to_irq(e, -1)
    }
  }

  Assume here event channel e refers here to the same event channel
  number.
  After this race the evtchn_to_irq mapping for e is invalid (-1).

- __startup_pirq races with __unbind_from_irq in a similar way. Because
  __startup_pirq doesn't take irq_mapping_update_lock it can grab the
  evtchn that __unbind_from_irq is currently freeing and cleaning up. In
  this case even though the event channel is allocated, its mapping can
  be unset in evtchn_to_irq.

The fix is to first cleanup the mappings and then close the event
channel. In this way, when an event channel gets allocated it's
potential previous evtchn_to_irq mappings are guaranteed to be unset already.
This is also the reverse order of the allocation where first the event
channel is allocated and then the mappings are setup.

On a 5.10 kernel prior to commit 3fcdaf3d7634 ("xen/events: modify internal
[un]bind interfaces"), we hit a BUG like the following during probing of NVMe
devices. The issue is that during nvme_setup_io_queues, pci_free_irq
is called for every device which results in a call to shutdown_pirq.
With many nvme devices it's therefore likely to hit this race during
boot because there will be multiple calls to shutdown_pirq and
startup_pirq are running potentially in parallel.

Without changing the structure size (since it is UAPI), add a proper
flexible array member, and reference it in the kernel so that it will
not be trip the array-bounds sanitizer[1].
