Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated
around the Xen SWIOTLB library.

The short is that the tracing facility (just one function) has
been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress.
Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver
"is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical
addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when
booting under hardware without proper IOMMU.

There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc.

The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c
we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which
with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time. Rest
assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time.

Features:
- SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer.
- Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB. This work allows Linux to
safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a
guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1]
- xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed.

Bug-fixes:
- Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region.
- Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT.
- Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED.
- Remove deprecated __cpuinit.

[*1]:
"On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second
stage translation enabled. As a consequence when dom0 programs a
device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical
addresses instead machine addresses. This work introduces two trees
to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of
foreign pages. Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address
== machine address). It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and
ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine
addresses for dma operations when necessary. " (Stefano)"

xen/mcfg: Call PHYSDEVOP_pci_mmcfg_reserved for MCFG areas.

2013-11-08T20:12:52+00:00

The PCI MMCONFIG area is usually reserved via the E820 so the Xen hypervisor
is aware of these regions. But they can also be enumerated in the ACPI
DSDT which means the hypervisor won't know of them until the initial
domain informs it of via PHYSDEVOP_pci_mmcfg_reserved.

This is what this patch does for all of the MCFG regions that the
initial domain is aware of (E820 enumerated and ACPI).

xen-netback: enable IPv6 TCP GSO to the guest

2013-10-17T19:35:17+00:00

This patch adds code to handle SKB_GSO_TCPV6 skbs and construct appropriate
extra or prefix segments to pass the large packet to the frontend. New
xenstore flags, feature-gso-tcpv6 and feature-gso-tcpv6-prefix, are sampled
to determine if the frontend is capable of handling such packets.

xen-netback: handle IPv6 TCP GSO packets from the guest

2013-10-17T19:35:17+00:00

This patch adds a xenstore feature flag, festure-gso-tcpv6, to advertise
that netback can handle IPv6 TCP GSO packets. It creates SKB_GSO_TCPV6 skbs
if the frontend passes an extra segment with the new type
XEN_NETIF_GSO_TYPE_TCPV6 added to netif.h.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"A couple of features and a ton of bug-fixes. There is also some
maintership changes. Jeremy is enjoying the full-time work at the
startup and as much as he would love to help - he can't find the time.
I have a bunch of other things that I promised to work on - paravirt
diet, get SWIOTLB working everywhere, etc, but haven't been able to
find the time.

As such both David Vrabel and Boris Ostrovsky have graciously
volunteered to help with the maintership role. They will keep the lid
on regressions, bug-fixes, etc. I will be in the background to help -
but eventually there will be less of me doing the Xen GIT pulls and
more of them. Stefano is still doing the ARM/ARM64 and will continue
on doing so.

Features:
- Xen Trusted Platform Module (TPM) frontend driver - with the
backend in MiniOS.
- Scalability improvements in event channel.
- Two extra Xen co-maintainers (David, Boris) and one going away (Jeremy)

Bug-fixes:
- Make the 1:1 mapping work during early bootup on selective regions.
- Add scratch page to balloon driver to deal with unexpected code
still holding on stale pages.
- Allow NMIs on PV guests (64-bit only)
- Remove unnecessary TLB flush in M2P code.
- Fixes duplicate callbacks in Xen granttable code.
- Fixes in PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH ioctls to allow retries
- Fix for events being lost due to rescheduling on different VCPUs.
- More documentation"

drivers/tpm: add xen tpmfront interface

2013-08-09T14:57:06+00:00

This is a complete rewrite of the Xen TPM frontend driver, taking
advantage of a simplified frontend/backend interface and adding support
for cancellation and timeouts.  The backend for this driver is provided
by a vTPM stub domain using the interface in Xen 4.3.

xen: Support 64-bit PV guest receiving NMIs

2013-08-09T14:55:47+00:00

This is based on a patch that Zhenzhong Duan had sent - which
was missing some of the remaining pieces. The kernel has the
logic to handle Xen-type-exceptions using the paravirt interface
in the assembler code (see PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME -
pv_irq_ops.adjust_exception_frame and and INTERRUPT_RETURN -
pv_cpu_ops.iret).

That means the nmi handler (and other exception handlers) use
the hypervisor iret.

The other changes that would be neccessary for this would
be to translate the NMI_VECTOR to one of the entries on the
ipi_vector and make xen_send_IPI_mask_allbutself use different
events.

Fortunately for us commit 1db01b4903639fcfaec213701a494fe3fb2c490b
(xen: Clean up apic ipi interface) implemented this and we piggyback
on the cleanup such that the apic IPI interface will pass the right
vector value for NMI.

With this patch we can trigger NMIs within a PV guest (only tested
x86_64).

For this to work with normal PV guests (not initial domain)
we need the domain to be able to use the APIC ops - they are
already implemented to use the Xen event channels. For that
to be turned on in a PV domU we need to remove the masking
of X86_FEATURE_APIC.

Incidentally that means kgdb will also now work within
a PV guest without using the 'nokgdbroundup' workaround.

Note that the 32-bit version is different and this patch
does not enable that.

Pull block IO driver bits from Jens Axboe:
 "As I mentioned in the core block pull request, due to real life
  circumstances the driver pull request would be late.  Now it looks
  like -rc2 late...  On the plus side, apart form the rsxx update, these
  are all things that I could argue could go in later in the cycle as
  they are fixes and not features.  So even though things are late, it's
  not ALL bad.

  The pull request contains:

   - Updates to bcache, all bug fixes, from Kent.

   - A pile of drbd bug fixes (no big features this time!).

   - xen blk front/back fixes.

   - rsxx driver updates, some of them deferred form 3.10.  So should be
     well cooked by now"
