Linus Torvalds 84621c9b18 Features: 
- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000 events (2^17),
    16 different event priorities, improved fairness in event latency through
    the use of FIFOs.
  - Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with paravirtualized
    disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and timers, no emulated devices
    of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS or legacy boot — but instead of
    requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM hardware extensions to virtualize the
    pagetables, as well as system calls and other privileged operations."
    (from "The Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum")
 Bug-fixes:
  - Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM)
  - Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests.
  - Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly.
  - Refactors in event channels.

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.14-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Two major features that Xen community is excited about:

  The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch
  over from an two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO
  queue with priorities.  This lets us be able to handle more events,
  have lower latency, and better scalability.  Good stuff.

  The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor.  In short, PV is a mode where the
  kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc.  With
  EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this
  in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the
  hypervisor doing it for us.

  In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment,
  syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done
  within the guest container.  It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH'
  name - a PV guest within an HVM container.

  The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
  use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function
  calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the
  hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc.

  It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone.  But it is
  pretty awesome and we are excited about it.

  Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple
  conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next.

  In short, this pull has awesome features.

  Features:
   - FIFO event channels.  Key advantages: support for over 100,000
     events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in

menu "Xen driver support"
depends on XEN
config XEN_BALLOON
bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
default y
help
The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
return unneeded memory to the system.
config XEN_SELFBALLOONING
bool "Dynamically self-balloon kernel memory to target"
depends on XEN && XEN_BALLOON && CLEANCACHE && SWAP && XEN_TMEM
default n
help
Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring
FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
ballooning is disabled by default. If FRONTSWAP is configured,
frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
with the 'tmem.selfshrink=0' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'tmem.selfballooning=0'
kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently
large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.
config XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
bool "Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver"
default n
depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG
help
Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
It is very useful on critical systems which require long
run without rebooting.
Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem>
where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory>
where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
could be added by writing proper value to
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU,
3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
[ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"
In that case step 3 should be omitted.
config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES
bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
depends on XEN_BALLOON
default y
help
Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
secure, but slightly less efficient.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XEN_DEV_EVTCHN
tristate "Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device"
default y
help
The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to trigger event
channels and to receive notification of an event channel
firing.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XEN_BACKEND
bool "Backend driver support"
depends on XEN_DOM0
default y
help
Support for backend device drivers that provide I/O services
to other virtual machines.
config XENFS
tristate "Xen filesystem"
select XEN_PRIVCMD
default y
help
The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share
information with each other and with the hypervisor.
For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests
may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XEN_COMPAT_XENFS
bool "Create compatibility mount point /proc/xen"
depends on XENFS
default y
help
The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"
under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the
xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create
the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on
a xen platform.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR
bool "Create xen entries under /sys/hypervisor"
depends on SYSFS
select SYS_HYPERVISOR
default y
help
Create entries under /sys/hypervisor describing the Xen
hypervisor environment. When running native or in another
virtual environment, /sys/hypervisor will still be present,
but will have no xen contents.
config XEN_XENBUS_FRONTEND
tristate
config XEN_GNTDEV
tristate "userspace grant access device driver"
depends on XEN
default m
select MMU_NOTIFIER
help
Allows userspace processes to use grants.
config XEN_GRANT_DEV_ALLOC
tristate "User-space grant reference allocator driver"
depends on XEN
default m
help
Allows userspace processes to create pages with access granted
to other domains. This can be used to implement frontend drivers
or as part of an inter-domain shared memory channel.
config SWIOTLB_XEN
def_bool y
select SWIOTLB
config XEN_TMEM
tristate
depends on !ARM && !ARM64
default m if (CLEANCACHE || FRONTSWAP)
help
Shim to interface in-kernel Transcendent Memory hooks
(e.g. cleancache and frontswap) to Xen tmem hypercalls.
config XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND
tristate "Xen PCI-device backend driver"
depends on PCI && X86 && XEN
depends on XEN_BACKEND
default m
help
The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
you want to make visible to other guests.
The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0)
If in doubt, say m.
config XEN_PRIVCMD
tristate
depends on XEN
default m
config XEN_STUB
bool "Xen stub drivers"
depends on XEN && X86_64 && BROKEN
default n
help
Allow kernel to install stub drivers, to reserve space for Xen drivers,
i.e. memory hotplug and cpu hotplug, and to block native drivers loaded,
so that real Xen drivers can be modular.
To enable Xen features like cpu and memory hotplug, select Y here.
config XEN_ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY
tristate "Xen ACPI memory hotplug"
depends on XEN_DOM0 && XEN_STUB && ACPI
default n
help
This is Xen ACPI memory hotplug.
Currently Xen only support ACPI memory hot-add. If you want
to hot-add memory at runtime (the hot-added memory cannot be
removed until machine stop), select Y/M here, otherwise select N.
config XEN_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU
tristate "Xen ACPI cpu hotplug"
depends on XEN_DOM0 && XEN_STUB && ACPI
select ACPI_CONTAINER
default n
help
Xen ACPI cpu enumerating and hotplugging
For hotplugging, currently Xen only support ACPI cpu hotadd.
If you want to hotadd cpu at runtime (the hotadded cpu cannot
be removed until machine stop), select Y/M here.
config XEN_ACPI_PROCESSOR
tristate "Xen ACPI processor"
depends on XEN && X86 && ACPI_PROCESSOR && CPU_FREQ
default m
help
This ACPI processor uploads Power Management information to the Xen
hypervisor.
To do that the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads
said information to the Xen hypervisor. Then the Xen hypervisor can
select the proper Cx and Pxx states. It also registers itself as the
SMM so that other drivers (such as ACPI cpufreq scaling driver) will
not load.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called xen_acpi_processor If you do not know what to choose, select
M here. If the CPUFREQ drivers are built in, select Y here.
config XEN_MCE_LOG
bool "Xen platform mcelog"
depends on XEN_DOM0 && X86_64 && X86_MCE
default n
help
Allow kernel fetching MCE error from Xen platform and
converting it into Linux mcelog format for mcelog tools
