xen: update PV-device interface headers

2024-01-09T10:46:24+00:00

Update the Xen PV-device interface headers in order to avoid undefined
behavior with flexible arrays being defined with one array element.

xen: privcmd: Add support for ioeventfd

2023-10-16T13:18:33+00:00

Virtio guests send VIRTIO_MMIO_QUEUE_NOTIFY notification when they need
to notify the backend of an update to the status of the virtqueue. The
backend or another entity, polls the MMIO address for updates to know
when the notification is sent.

It works well if the backend does this polling by itself. But as we move
towards generic backend implementations, we end up implementing this in
a separate user-space program.

Generally, the Virtio backends are implemented to work with the Eventfd
based mechanism. In order to make such backends work with Xen, another
software layer needs to do the polling and send an event via eventfd to
the backend once the notification from guest is received. This results
in an extra context switch.

This is not a new problem in Linux though. It is present with other
hypervisors like KVM, etc. as well. The generic solution implemented in
the kernel for them is to provide an IOCTL call to pass the address to
poll and eventfd, which lets the kernel take care of polling and raise
an event on the eventfd, instead of handling this in user space (which
involves an extra context switch).

This patch adds similar support for xen.

Inspired by existing implementations for KVM, etc..

This also copies ioreq.h header file (only struct ioreq and related
macros) from Xen's source tree (Top commit 5d84f07fe6bf ("xen/pci: drop
remaining uses of bool_t")).

x86/PVH: obtain VGA console info in Dom0

2023-03-14T14:20:51+00:00

A new platform-op was added to Xen to allow obtaining the same VGA
console information PV Dom0 is handed. Invoke the new function and have
the output data processed by xen_init_vga().

x86/xen: Add support for HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector

2022-08-12T09:28:21+00:00

Implement support for the HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector hypercall in
order to set the per-vCPU event channel vector callback on Linux and
use it in preference of HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_IRQ.

If the per-VCPU vector setup is successful on BSP, use this method
for the APs. If not, fallback to the global vector-type callback.

Also register callback_irq at per-vCPU event channel setup to trick
toolstack to think the domain is enlightened.

The hypervisor has been supplying this information for a couple of major
releases. Make use of it. The need to set a flag in the capabilities
field also points out that the prior setting of that field from the
hypervisor interface's gbl_caps one was wrong, so that code gets deleted
(there's also no equivalent of this in native boot code).
