a231723cc0 xen/console: Introduce a new console driver for Xen guest
The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.

Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.

Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.

This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.

Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be
sent with HVM guest support.

List of items that may be good to have but not mandatory:
 - Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty
 - Support multiple consoles

bf7313e3b7 xen: implement the privcmd user-space device
This device is only attached to priviledged domains, and allows the
toolstack to interact with Xen. The two functions of the privcmd
interface is to allow the execution of hypercalls from user-space, and
the mapping of foreign domain memory.

i386/include/xen/hypercall.h:
amd64/include/xen/hypercall.h:
 - Introduce a function to make generic hypercalls into Xen.

xen/interface/xen.h:
xen/interface/memory.h:
 - Import the new hypercall XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range used by
   auto-translated guests to map memory from foreign domains.

dev/xen/privcmd/privcmd.c:
 - This device has the following functions:
   - Allow user-space applications to make hypercalls into Xen.
   - Allow user-space applications to map memory from foreign domains,
     this is accomplished using the newly introduced hypercall
     (XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range).

xen/privcmd.h:
 - Public ioctl interface for the privcmd device.

x86/xen/hvm.c:
 - Remove declaration of hypercall_page, now it's declared in
   hypercall.h.

conf/files:
 - Add the privcmd device to the build process.

4d30a3fb95 xen: use the same hypercall mechanism for XEN and XENHVM
Currently XEN (PV) and XENHVM (PVHVM) ports use different ways to
issue hypercalls, unify this by filling the hypercall_page under HVM
also.

amd64/include/xen/hypercall.h:
 - Unify Xen hypercall code by always using the PV way.

i386/i386/locore.s:
 - Define hypercall_page on i386 XENHVM.

x86/xen/hvm.c:
 - Fill hypercall_page on XENHVM kernels using the HVM method (only
   when running as an HVM guest).

76acc41fb7 Implement vector callback for PVHVM and unify event channel implementations
Re-structure Xen HVM support so that:
	- Xen is detected and hypercalls can be performed very
	  early in system startup.
	- Xen interrupt services are implemented using FreeBSD's native
	  interrupt delivery infrastructure.
	- the Xen interrupt service implementation is shared between PV
	  and HVM guests.
	- Xen interrupt handlers can optionally use a filter handler
	  in order to avoid the overhead of dispatch to an interrupt
	  thread.
	- interrupt load can be distributed among all available CPUs.
	- the overhead of accessing the emulated local and I/O apics
	  on HVM is removed for event channel port events.
	- a similar optimization can eventually, and fairly easily,
	  be used to optimize MSI.

	Reserve IDT vector 0x93 for the Xen event channel upcall
	interrupt handler.  On Hypervisors that support the direct
	vector callback feature, we can request that this vector be
	called directly by an injected HVM interrupt event, instead
	of a simulated PCI interrupt on the Xen platform PCI device.
	This avoids all of the overhead of dealing with the emulated
	I/O APIC and local APIC.  It also means that the Hypervisor
	can inject these events on any CPU, allowing upcalls for
	different ports to be handled in parallel.

sys/i386/xen/xen_machdep.c:
sys/x86/xen/hvm.c:
	Introduce new functions xen_domain(), xen_pv_domain(), and
	xen_hvm_domain().  These are used in favor of #ifdefs so that
	FreeBSD can dynamically detect and adapt to the presence of
	a hypervisor.  The goal is to have an HVM optimized GENERIC,
	but more is necessary before this is possible.

sys/dev/xen/xenpci/xenpcivar.h:

sys/x86/xen/hvm.c:
sys/sys/kernel.h:
	Refactor magic ioport, Hypercall table and Hypervisor shared
	information page setup, and move it to a dedicated HVM support
	module.

	HVM mode initialization is now triggered during the
	SI_SUB_HYPERVISOR phase of system startup.  This currently
	occurs just after the kernel VM is fully setup which is
	just enough infrastructure to allow the hypercall table
	and shared info page to be properly mapped.

sys/xen/hvm.h:
sys/x86/xen/hvm.c:
	Add definitions and a method for configuring Hypervisor event
	delievery via a direct vector callback.

sys/conf/files:

sys/dev/xen/console/xencons_ring.c
	Adjust drivers to use new xen_intr_*() API.

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
	Since blkback defers all event handling to a taskqueue,
	convert this task queue to a "fast" taskqueue, and schedule
	it via an interrupt filter.  This avoids an unnecessary
	ithread context switch.

sys/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c:
	The xenstore driver is MPSAFE.  Indicate as much when
	registering its interrupt handler.

sys/xen/xenbus/xenbus.c:
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusvar.h:
	Remove unused event channel APIs.

sys/xen/evtchn.h:
	Remove all kernel Xen interrupt service API definitions
	from this file.  It is now only used for structure and
	ioctl definitions related to the event channel userland
	device driver.

	Update the definitions in this file to match those from
	NetBSD.  Implementing this interface will be necessary for
	Dom0 support.

sys/xen/evtchn/evtchnvar.h:
	Add a header file for implemenation internal APIs related
	to managing event channels event delivery.  This is used
	to allow, for example, the event channel userland device
	driver to access low-level routines that typical kernel
	consumers of event channel services should never access.

sys/xen/interface/event_channel.h:
sys/xen/xen_intr.h:
	Standardize on the evtchn_port_t type for referring to
	an event channel port id.  In order to prevent low-level
	event channel APIs from leaking to kernel consumers who
	should not have access to this data, the type is defined
	twice: Once in the Xen provided event_channel.h, and again
	in xen/xen_intr.h.  The double declaration is protected by
	__XEN_EVTCHN_PORT_DEFINED__ to ensure it is never declared
	twice within a given compilation unit.

sys/xen/evtchn/evtchn.c:
sys/x86/xen/xen_intr.c:
sys/dev/xen/xenpci/evtchn.c:
sys/dev/xen/xenpci/xenpcivar.h:
	New implementation of Xen interrupt services.  This is
	similar in many respects to the i386 PV implementation with
	the exception that events for bound to event channel ports
	(i.e. not IPI, virtual IRQ, or physical IRQ) are further
	optimized to avoid mask/unmask operations that aren't
	necessary for these edge triggered events.

	Stubs exist for supporting physical IRQ binding, but will
	need additional work before this implementation can be
	fully shared between PV and HVM.

sys/i386/i386/mp_machdep.c:
sys/i386/xen/mp_machdep.c
sys/x86/xen/hvm.c:
	Add support for placing vcpu_info into an arbritary memory
	page instead of using HYPERVISOR_shared_info->vcpu_info.
	This allows the creation of domains with more than 32 vcpus.

sys/i386/xen/clock.c:
sys/i386/xen/xen_machdep.c:

	Add support for new event channle implementation.
