Use functions for the low-level event channel port operations
(set/clear pending, unmask, is_pending and is_masked).
Group these functions into a struct evtchn_port_op so they can be
replaced by alternate implementations (for different ABIs) on a
per-domain basis.

Add support for LZ4 decompression in Xen. LZ4 Decompression APIs for

- UA: Unaligned memory Access support
- Latest patch set for LZO applied
This patch set is for adding support for LZ4-compressed Kernel. LZ4 is a
very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely
fast decoder [1].
But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does
arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue
had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2].
Russell King said that we should have:
- one decompressor which is the fastest
- one decompressor for the highest compression ratio
- one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip)
If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly
that: replace it.
The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase
in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the
fastest decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be
small" compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].

The Linux kernel is able to update the microcode during early bootup
via inspection of the initramfs blob to see if there is an cpio image
with certain microcode files. Linux is able to function with two (or
more) cpio archives in the initrd b/c it unpacks all of the cpio
archives.
The format of the early initramfs is nicely documented in Linux's
Documentation/x86/early-microcode.txt:
Early load microcode
====================
By Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>
Kernel can update microcode in early phase of boot time. Loading microcode early
can fix CPU issues before they are observed during kernel boot time.
Microcode is stored in an initrd file. The microcode is read from the initrd
file and loaded to CPUs during boot time.
The format of the combined initrd image is microcode in cpio format followed by
the initrd image (maybe compressed). Kernel parses the combined initrd image
during boot time. The microcode file in cpio name space is:
kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin
During BSP boot (before SMP starts), if the kernel finds the microcode file in
the initrd file, it parses the microcode and saves matching microcode in memory.
If matching microcode is found, it will be uploaded in BSP and later on in all
APs.
The cached microcode patch is applied when CPUs resume from a sleep state.
There are two legacy user space interfaces to load microcode, either through
/dev/cpu/microcode or through /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload file
in sysfs.
In addition to these two legacy methods, the early loading method described
here is the third method with which microcode can be uploaded to a system's
CPUs.
The following example script shows how to generate a new combined initrd file in
/boot/initrd-3.5.0.ucode.img with original microcode microcode.bin and
original initrd image /boot/initrd-3.5.0.img.
mkdir initrd
cd initrd
mkdir kernel
mkdir kernel/x86
mkdir kernel/x86/microcode
cp ../microcode.bin kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin
find .|cpio -oc >../ucode.cpio
cd ..
cat ucode.cpio /boot/initrd-3.5.0.img >/boot/initrd-3.5.0.ucode.img
As such this code inspects the initrd to see if the microcode
signatures are present and if so updates the hypervisor.
The option to turn this scan on/off is gated by the 'ucode'
parameter. The options are now:
'scan' Scan for the microcode in any multiboot payload.
<index> Attempt to load microcode blob (not the cpio archive
format) from the multiboot payload number.
This option alters slightly the 'ucode' parameter by only allowing
either parameter:
ucode=[<index>|scan]
Implementation wise the ucode_blob is defined as __initdata.
That is OK from the viewpoint of suspend/resume as the the underlaying
architecture microcode (microcode_intel or microcode_amd) end up saving
the blob in 'struct ucode_cpu_info' which is a per-cpu data
structure (see ucode_cpu_info). They end up saving it when doing the
pre-SMP (for CPU0) and SMP (for the rest) microcode loading.
Naturally if one does a hypercall to update the microcode and it is
newer, then the old per-cpu data is replaced.

In order to achieve more symmetric distribution of certain things,
cpumask_any() shouldn't always pick the first CPU (which frequently
will end up being CPU0). To facilitate that, introduce a library-like
function to obtain random numbers.
The per-architecture function is supposed to return zero if no valid
random number can be obtained (implying that if occasionally zero got
produced as random number, it wouldn't be considered such).
As fallback this uses the trivial algorithm from the C standard,
extended to produce "unsigned int" results.

This patch introduce coverage support to Xen.
Currently it allows to compile Xen with coverage support but there is no
way to extract them.
The declarations came from Linux source files (as you can see from file
headers).
The idea is to have some operations mainly
- get coverage information size
- read coverage information
- reset coverage counters
Linux use a file system to export these information. The information will
be a blob to handle with some tools (as usually tools require a bunch of
files but Xen does not handle files at all). I'll pack them to make things
simpler as possible.
These information cannot be put in a specific section (allowing a safe
mapping) as gcc use .rodata, .data, .text and .ctors sections.
I added code to handle constructors used in this case to initialize a
linked list of files.
I excluded %.init.o files as they are used before Xen start and should
not have section like .text or .data.
I used a "coverage" configuration option to mimic the "debug" one.

Rather than passing cpumasks by value in all cases (which is
problematic for large NR_CPUS configurations), pass them 'by
reference' (i.e. through a pointer to a const cpumask).
On x86 this changes send_IPI_mask() to always only send IPIs to remote
CPUs (meaning any caller needing to handle the current CPU as well has
to do so on its own).

Tmem, when called from a tmem-capable (paravirtualized) guest, makes
use of otherwise unutilized ("fallow") memory to create and manage
pools of pages that can be accessed from the guest either as
"ephemeral" pages or as "persistent" pages. In either case, the pages
are not directly addressible by the guest, only copied to and fro via
the tmem interface. Ephemeral pages are a nice place for a guest to
put recently evicted clean pages that it might need again; these pages
can be reclaimed synchronously by Xen for other guests or other uses.
Persistent pages are a nice place for a guest to put "swap" pages to
avoid sending them to disk. These pages retain data as long as the
guest lives, but count against the guest memory allocation.
Tmem pages may optionally be compressed and, in certain cases, can be
shared between guests. Tmem also handles concurrency nicely and
provides limited QoS settings to combat malicious DoS attempts.
Save/restore and live migration support is not yet provided.
Tmem is primarily targeted for an x86 64-bit hypervisor. On a 32-bit
x86 hypervisor, it has limited functionality and testing due to
limitations of the xen heap. Nearly all of tmem is
architecture-independent; three routines remain to be ported to ia64
and it should work on that architecture too. It is also structured to
be portable to non-Xen environments.
Tmem defaults off (for now) and must be enabled with a "tmem" xen boot
option (and does nothing unless a tmem-capable guest is running). The
"tmem_compress" boot option enables compression which takes about 10x
more CPU but approximately doubles the number of pages that can be
stored.
Tmem can be controlled via several "xm" commands and many interesting
tmem statistics can be obtained. A README and internal specification
will follow, but lots of useful prose about tmem, as well as Linux
patches, can be found at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem .

This patch replaces the Xen xmalloc engine with tlsf, an allocation
engine that is both more space efficient and time-bounded, especially
for allocation sizes between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE.
The file xmalloc.c is deprecated but not yet deleted. A simple
changein common/Makefile will change back to the legacy xmalloc/xfree
if needed for testing.
Code adapted from Nitin Gupta's tlsf-kmod, rev 229, found here:
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/source/browse/trunk/sub-projects/allocat=
ors/tlsf-kmod
with description and performance details here:
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/TLSFAllocator
(new Xen code uses 4K=3DPAGE_SIZE for the region size)

This patch adds a library with a small collection of helper functions
to parse and load elf binaries. The library handles endianess and
elfsize at runtime.
The patch also shuffles around the include files a bit. Now there is
*one* include file holding all the elf structures
(xen/include/public/elfstructs.h) which is included by everyone who
needs them.
It's dead code with this patch only, putting the code into use happens
in followup patches.
