xen pvfb: Para-virtual framebuffer, keyboard and pointer driver
This is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers:
drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and
drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse.
The backends run in dom0 user space.
The two drivers are not in two separate patches, because the
intermediate step (one driver, not the other) is somewhat problematic:
the backend in dom0 needs both drivers, and will refuse to complete
device initialization unless they're both present.
xen blkfront: Delay wait for block devices until after the disk is added
When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.
This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.
xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstore
Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore. Since
the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work
fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to
the backend's native ABI. This is not the case for xen-blkfront
running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and
thus needs this fix.

On xen/ia64 and xen/powerpc hypercall arguments are passed by pseudo
physical address (guest physical address) so that it's necessary to
convert from virtual address into pseudo physical address. The frame
work is called xencomm.
Import arch generic part of xencomm.
split out x86 specific part from grant-table.c and
allow ia64/xen specific initialization.
ia64/xen grant table is based on pseudo physical address
(guest physical address) unlike x86/xen. On ia64 init_mm
doesn't map identity straight mapped area.
ia64/xen specific grant table initialization is necessary.
xen: replace callers of alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() with xen_ prefixed one
Don't use alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() directly, instead define
xen_alloc_vm_area()/xen_free_vm_area() and use them.
alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are used to allocate/free area which
are for grant table mapping. Xen/x86 grant table is based on virtual
address so that alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are suitable.
On the other hand Xen/ia64 (and Xen/powerpc) grant table is based on
pseudo physical address (guest physical address) so that allocation
should be done differently.
The original version of xenified Linux/IA64 have its own
allocate_vm_area()/free_vm_area() definitions which don't allocate vm area
contradictory to those names.
Now vanilla Linux already has its definitions so that it's impossible
to have IA64 definitions of allocate_vm_area()/free_vm_area().
Instead introduce xen_allocate_vm_area()/xen_free_vm_area() and use them.
xen: make include/xen/page.h portable moving those definitions under asm dir
The definitions in include/asm/xen/page.h are arch specific.
ia64/xen wants to define its own version. So move them to arch specific
directory and keep include/xen/page.h in order not to break compilation.
Remove x86 dependency in drivers/xen/events.c for ia64/xen support
introducing include/asm/xen/events.h.
Introduce xen_irqs_disabled() to hide regs->flags
Introduce xen_do_IRQ() to hide regs->orig_ax.
make enum ipi_vector definition arch specific. ia64/xen needs four vectors.
Add one rmb() because on ia64 xchg() isn't barrier.
xen: add missing definitions in include/xen/interface/vcpu.h which ia64/xen needs
Add xen handles realted definitions for xen vcpu which ia64/xen needs.
Pointer argumsnts for ia64/xen hypercall are passed in pseudo physical
address (guest physical address) so that it is required to convert
guest kernel virtual address into pseudo physical address.
The xen guest handle represents such arguments.
xen: add missing definitions for xen grant table which ia64/xen needs
Add xen handles realted definitions for grant table which ia64/xen
needs.
Pointer argumsnts for ia64/xen hypercall are passed in pseudo physical
address (guest physical address) so that it is required to convert
guest kernel virtual address into pseudo physical address right before
issuing hypercall.
The xen guest handle represents such arguments.
Define necessary handles and helper functions.
Add xen VIRQ numbers defined for arch specific use.
ia64/xen domU uses VIRQ_ARCH_0 for virtual itc timer.
Although all those constants aren't used yet by ia64
at this moment, add all arch specific VIRQ numbers.
Add xen hypercall numbers defined for arch specific use.
ia64/xen domU uses __HYPERVISOR_arch_1 to manipulate paravirtualized
IOSAPIC. Although all those constants aren't used yet by IA64 at this
moment, add all arch specific hypercall numbers.
If an event comes in while events are currently being processed, then
just increment the counter and have the outer event loop reprocess the
pending events. This prevents unbounded recursion on heavy event
loads (of course massive event storms will cause infinite loops).
Xen supports the notion of a debug interrupt which can be triggered
from the console. For now this is implemented to show pending events,
masks and each CPU's pending event set.
Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined
for 32-bit.
There are a couple of follow-on changes from this:
- KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS. The
definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64,
since it can have two different user address-space configurations.
I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful
for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations.
- USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar
purposes. Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it
completely unused, and so I removed it.
Convert asm-x86/pgalloc_64.h from macros into functions (#include hell
prevents __*_free_tlb from being inline, but they're probably a bit
big to inline anyway).
x86: PAT use reserve free memtype in mmap of /dev/mem
Use reserve_memtype and free_memtype wrappers for /dev/mem mmaps. The memtype
is slightly complicated here, given that we have to support existing X mappings.
We fallback on UC_MINUS for that.
x86: PAT phys_mem_access_prot_allowed for dev/mem mmap
Introduce phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(), which checks whether the mapping
is possible, without any conflicts and returns success or failure based on that.
phys_mem_access_prot() by itself does not allow failure case. This ability
to return error is needed for PAT where we may have aliasing conflicts.
x86 setup __HAVE_PHYS_MEM_ACCESS_PROT and move x86 specific code out of
/dev/mem into arch specific area.

x86: introduce /dev/mem restrictions with a config option
This patch introduces a restriction on /dev/mem: Only non-memory can be
read or written unless the newly introduced config option is set.
The X server needs access to /dev/mem for the PCI space, but it doesn't need
access to memory; both the file permissions and SELinux permissions of /dev/mem
just make X effectively super-super powerful. With the exception of the
BIOS area, there's just no valid app that uses /dev/mem on actual memory.
Other popular users of /dev/mem are rootkits and the like.
(note: mmap access of memory via /dev/mem was already not allowed since
a really long time)
People who want to use /dev/mem for kernel debugging can enable the config
option.
The restrictions of this patch have been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for
at least 4 years without any problems.

SUNRPC: Invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS session if the server dropped the request
RFC 2203 requires the server to drop the request if it believes the
RPCSEC_GSS context is out of sequence. The problem is that we have no way
on the client to know why the server dropped the request. In order to avoid
spinning forever trying to resend the request, the safe approach is
therefore to always invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS context on every major
timeout.
