xen/x86: obtain upper 32 bits of video frame buffer address for Dom0

The hypervisor has been supplying this information for a couple of major
releases. Make use of it. The need to set a flag in the capabilities
field also points out that the prior setting of that field from the
hypervisor interface's gbl_caps one was wrong, so that code gets deleted
(there's also no equivalent of this in native boot code).

xen: fix wrong SPDX headers of Xen related headers

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.

xen/privcmd: add IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP_RESOURCE

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.

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

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.

xen/PMU: Initialization code for Xen PMU

Map shared data structure that will hold CPU registers, VPMU context,
V/PCPU IDs of the CPU interrupted by PMU interrupt. Hypervisor fills
this information in its handler and passes it to the guest for further
processing.

Set up PMU VIRQ.

Now that perf infrastructure will assume that PMU is available on a PV
guest we need to be careful and make sure that accesses via RDPMC
instruction don't cause fatal traps by the hypervisor. Provide a nop
RDPMC handler.

For the same reason avoid issuing a warning on a write to APIC's LVTPC.

Both of these will be made functional in later patches.

arm: xen: implement multicall hypercall support.

As part of this make the usual change to xen_ulong_t in place of unsigned long.
This change has no impact on x86.

The Linux definition of struct multicall_entry.result differs from the Xen
definition, I think for good reasons, and used a long rather than an unsigned
long. Therefore introduce a xen_long_t, which is a long on x86 architectures
and a signed 64-bit integer on ARM.

Use uint32_t nr_calls on x86 for consistency with the ARM definition.

Build tested on amd64 and i386 builds. Runtime tested on ARM.

xen/events: Add the hypervisor interface for the FIFO-based event channels

Add the hypercall sub-ops and the structures for the shared data used
in the FIFO-based event channel ABI.

The design document for this new ABI is available here:

http://xenbits.xen.org/people/dvrabel/event-channels-H.pdf

In summary, events are reported using a per-domain shared event array
of event words. Each event word has PENDING, LINKED and MASKED bits
and a LINK field for pointing to the next event in the event queue.

There are 16 event queues (with different priorities) per-VCPU.

Key advantages of this new ABI include:

- Support for over 100,000 events (2^17).
- 16 different event priorities.
- Improved fairness in event latency through the use of FIFOs.

The ABI is available in Xen 4.4 and later.

xen: implement ptep_modify_prot_start/commit

Xen has a pte update function which will update a pte while preserving
its accessed and dirty bits. This means that ptep_modify_prot_start() can be
implemented as a simple read of the pte value. The hardware may
update the pte in the meantime, but ptep_modify_prot_commit() updates it while
preserving any changes that may have happened in the meantime.

The updates in ptep_modify_prot_commit() are batched if we're currently in lazy
mmu mode.

The mmu_update hypercall can take a batch of updates to perform, but
this code doesn't make particular use of that feature, in favour of
using generic multicall batching to get them all into the hypervisor.

The net effect of this is that each mprotect pte update turns from two
expensive trap-and-emulate faults into they hypervisor into a single
hypercall whose cost is amortized in a batched multicall.
