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")).

_IOC() an internal helper that we should not use in driver code. In
particular, we got the data direction wrong here, which breaks a number
of tools, as having "_IOC_NONE" should never be paired with a nonzero
size.
Use _IOW() instead.

Using indirect pointers in an ioctl command argument means that the
layout is architecture specific, in particular we can't use the same one
from 32-bit compat tasks. The general recommendation is to have __u64
members and use u64_to_user_ptr() to access it from the kernel if we are
unable to avoid the pointers altogether.

Xen provides support for injecting interrupts to the guests via the
HYPERVISOR_dm_op() hypercall. The same is used by the Virtio based
device backend implementations, in an inefficient manner currently.
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 poll the Eventfds and raise an interrupt to the
guest using the Xen based mechanism. 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 interrupt
details and eventfd, which lets the kernel take care of polling the
eventfd and raising of the interrupt, instead of handling this in user
space (which involves an extra context switch).
This patch adds support to inject a specific interrupt to guest using
the eventfd mechanism, by preventing the extra context switch.

Xen 4.17 supports the creation of static evtchns. To allow user space
application to bind static evtchns introduce new ioctl
"IOCTL_EVTCHN_BIND_STATIC". Existing IOCTL doing more than binding
that’s why we need to introduce the new IOCTL to only bind the static
event channels.
Static evtchns to be available for use during the lifetime of the
guest. When the application exits, __unbind_from_irq() ends up being
called from release() file operations because of that static evtchns
are getting closed. To avoid closing the static event channel, add the
new bool variable "is_static" in "struct irq_info" to mark the event
channel static when creating the event channel to avoid closing the
static evtchn.
Also, take this opportunity to remove the open-coded version of the
evtchn close in drivers/xen/evtchn.c file and use xen_evtchn_close().

The current implementation of gntdev guarantees that the first call to
IOCTL_GNTDEV_MAP_GRANT_REF will set @index to 0. This is required to
use gntdev for Wayland, which is a future desire of Qubes OS.
Additionally, requesting zero grants results in an error, but this was
not documented either. Document both of these.

Add UAPI and IOCTLs for dma-buf grant device driver extension:
the extension allows userspace processes and kernel modules to
use Xen backed dma-buf implementation. With this extension grant
references to the pages of an imported dma-buf can be exported
for other domain use and grant references coming from a foreign
domain can be converted into a local dma-buf for local export.
Implement basic initialization and stubs for Xen DMA buffers'
support.

My recent Xen patch series introduces a new HYPERVISOR_memory_op to
support direct priv-mapping of certain guest resources (such as ioreq
pages, used by emulators) by a tools domain, rather than having to access
such resources via the guest P2M.
This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to the privcmd driver and
Xen MMU code to support direct resource mapping.
NOTE: The adjustment in the MMU code is partially cosmetic. Xen will now
allow a PV tools domain to map guest pages either by GFN or MFN, thus
the term 'mfn' has been swapped for 'pfn' in the lower layers of the
remap code.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

The purpose if this ioctl is to allow a user of privcmd to restrict its
operation such that it will no longer service arbitrary hypercalls via
IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL, and will check for a matching domid when
servicing IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP or IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP*. The aim of this
is to limit the attack surface for a compromised device model.

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.

IOCTL_EVTCHN_RESTRICT limits the file descriptor to being able to bind
to interdomain event channels from a specific domain. Event channels
that are already bound continue to work for sending and receiving
notifications.
This is useful as part of deprivileging a user space PV backend or
device model (QEMU). e.g., Once the device model as bound to the
ioreq server event channels it can restrict the file handle so an
exploited DM cannot use it to create or bind to arbitrary event
channels.

Add IOCTL_GNTDEV_GRANT_COPY to allow applications to copy between user
space buffers and grant references.
This interface is similar to the GNTTABOP_copy hypercall ABI except
the local buffers are provided using a virtual address (instead of a
GFN and offset). To avoid userspace from having to page align its
buffers the driver will use two or more ops if required.
If the ioctl returns 0, the application must check the status of each
segment with the segments status field. If the ioctl returns a -ve
error code (EINVAL or EFAULT), the status of individual ops is
undefined.

The privcmd code is mixing the usage of GFN and MFN within the same
functions which make the code difficult to understand when you only work
with auto-translated guests.
The privcmd driver is only dealing with GFN so replace all the mention
of MFN into GFN.
The ioctl structure used to map foreign change has been left unchanged
given that the userspace is using it. Nonetheless, add a comment to
explain the expected value within the "mfn" field.
