Xen added this in 2015 (Xen 4.6). On x86_64 and Arm it fills what was
previously a 32-bit hole in the generic shared_info structure; on
i386 it had to go at the end of struct arch_shared_info.

Pull more xen updates from Juergen Gross:

 - Remove support for running as 32-bit Xen PV-guest.

   32-bit PV guests are rarely used, are lacking security fixes for
   Meltdown, and can be easily replaced by PVH mode. Another series for
   doing more cleanup will follow soon (removal of 32-bit-only pvops
   functionality).

 - Fixes and additional features for the Xen display frontend driver.

* tag 'for-linus-5.9-rc1b-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
  drm/xen-front: Pass dumb buffer data offset to the backend

<content type='text'>
This is the sync up with the canonical definition of the
display protocol in Xen.

1. Add protocol version as an integer

Version string, which is in fact an integer, is hard to handle in the
code that supports different protocol versions. To simplify that
also add the version as an integer.

2. Pass buffer offset with XENDISPL_OP_DBUF_CREATE

There are cases when display data buffer is created with non-zero
offset to the data start. Handle such cases and provide that offset
while creating a display buffer.

3. Add XENDISPL_OP_GET_EDID command

Add an optional request for reading Extended Display Identification
Data (EDID) structure which allows better configuration of the
display connectors over the configuration set in XenStore.
With this change connectors may have multiple resolutions defined
with respect to detailed timing definitions and additional properties
normally provided by displays.

If this request is not supported by the backend then visible area
is defined by the relevant XenStore's "resolution" property.

If backend provides extended display identification data (EDID) with
XENDISPL_OP_GET_EDID request then EDID values must take precedence
over the resolutions defined in XenStore.

4. Bump protocol version to 2.

<title>xen: Move xen_setup_callback_vector() definition to include/xen/hvm.h</title>

Kbuild test robot reports the following problem on ARM:

  for 'xen_setup_callback_vector' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
1664 | void xen_setup_callback_vector(void) {}
|      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem is that xen_setup_callback_vector is a x86 only thing, its
definition is present in arch/x86/xen/xen-ops.h but not on ARM. In
events_base.c there is a stub for !CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM but it is not declared
as 'static'.

On x86 the situation is hardly better: drivers/xen/events/events_base.c
doesn't include 'xen-ops.h' from arch/x86/xen/, it includes its namesake
from include/xen/ which also results in a 'no previous prototype' warning.

Currently, xen_setup_callback_vector() has two call sites: one in
drivers/xen/events_base.c and another in arch/x86/xen/suspend_hvm.c. The
former is placed under #ifdef CONFIG_X86 and the later is only compiled
in when CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM.

Resolve the issue by moving xen_setup_callback_vector() declaration to
arch neutral 'include/xen/hvm.h' as the implementation lives in arch
neutral drivers/xen/events/events_base.c.

<title>xen: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>e8dc73c9f9ea554b36093dea23e4ca3b586105d7</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Currently these macros are defined to re-initialize a front/back ring
(respectively) to values read from the shared ring in such a way that any
requests/responses that are added to the shared ring whilst the front/back
is detached will be skipped over. This, in general, is not a desirable
semantic since most frontend implementations will eventually block waiting
for a response which would either never appear or never be processed.

Since the macros are currently unused, take this opportunity to re-define
them to re-initialize a front/back ring using specified values. This also
allows FRONT/BACK_RING_INIT() to be re-defined in terms of
FRONT/BACK_RING_ATTACH() using a specified value of 0.

NOTE: BACK_RING_ATTACH() will be used directly in a subsequent patch.

I'm also adding "synd" and "ipid" fields to struct xen_mce, in an
attempt to keep field offsets in sync with struct mce. These two fields
won't get populated for now, though.
