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")).

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.

Commit b24413180f5600 ("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license
identifier to files with no license") was meant to do a tree-wide
cleanup for files without any license information by adding a SPDX
GPL-2.0 line to them.
Unfortunately this was applied even to several Xen-related headers
which have been originally under the MIT license, but obviously have
been copied to the Linux tree from the Xen project without keeping the
license boiler plate as required.
Correct that by changing the license of those files back to "MIT".
Some files still contain the MIT license text. Replace that by the
related SPDX line.

The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any
of these in source files."
I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one.
Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code
and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups.
It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it.
If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think
editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

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.

The start info structure that is defined as part of the x86/HVM direct boot
ABI and used for starting Xen PVH guests would be more versatile if it also
included a way to pass information about the memory map to the guest. This
would allow KVM guests to share the same entry point.

Recently a new dm_op[1] hypercall was added to Xen to provide a mechanism
for restricting device emulators (such as QEMU) to a limited set of
hypervisor operations, and being able to audit those operations in the
kernel of the domain in which they run.
This patch adds IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP as gateway for __HYPERVISOR_dm_op.
NOTE: There is no requirement for user-space code to bounce data through
locked memory buffers (as with IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL) since
privcmd has enough information to lock the original buffers
directly.

HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_IRQ
This new delivery type which is for ARM shares the same value with
HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_TYPE_VECTOR which is for x86.
val[15:8] is flag: val[7:0] is a PPI.
To the flag, bit 8 stands the interrupt mode is edge(1) or level(0) and
bit 9 stands the interrupt polarity is active low(1) or high(0).

Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has four bug-fixes and one tiny feature that I forgot to put
initially in my tree due to oversight.
The feature is for kdump kernels to speed up the /proc/vmcore reading.
There is a ram_is_pfn helper function that the different platforms can
register for. We are now doing that.
The bug-fixes cover some embarrassing struct pv_cpu_ops variables
being set to NULL on Xen (but not baremetal). We had a similar issue
in the past with {write|read}_msr_safe and this fills the three
missing ones. The other bug-fix is to make the console output (hvc)
be capable of dealing with misbehaving backends and not fall flat on
its face. Lastly, a quirk for older XenBus implementations that came
with an ancient v3.4 hypervisor (so RHEL5 based) - reading of certain
non-existent attributes just hangs the guest during bootup - so we
take precaution of not doing that on such older installations.
Feature:
- Register a pfn_is_ram helper to speed up reading of /proc/vmcore.
Bug-fixes:
- Three pvops call for Xen were undefined causing BUG_ONs.
- Add a quirk so that the shutdown watches (used by kdump) are not
used with older Xen (3.4).
- Fix ungraceful state transition for the HVC console."
* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and shutdown watches.
xen/bootup: allow {read|write}_cr8 pvops call.
xen/bootup: allow read_tscp call for Xen PV guests.
xen pv-on-hvm: add pfn_is_ram helper for kdump
xen/hvc: handle backend CLOSED without CLOSING

Register pfn_is_ram helper speed up reading /proc/vmcore in the kdump
kernel. See commit message of 997c136f518c ("fs/proc/vmcore.c: add hook
to read_from_oldmem() to check for non-ram pages") for details.
It makes use of a new hvmop HVMOP_get_mem_type which was introduced in
xen 4.2 (23298:26413986e6e0) and backported to 4.1.1.
The new function is currently only enabled for reading /proc/vmcore.
Later it will be used also for the kexec kernel. Since that requires
more changes in the generic kernel make it static for the time being.
