<content type='text'>
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.

<title>xen/privcmd: improve performance of MMAPBATCH_V2</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4e8c0c8c4bf3a5b5c98046e146ab3884bf7a7d0e</id>
<content type='text'>
Make the IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_V2 (and older V1 version) map
multiple frames at a time rather than one at a time, despite the pages
being non-consecutive GFNs.

xen_remap_foreign_mfn_array() is added which maps an array of GFNs
(instead of a consecutive range of GFNs).

Since per-frame errors are returned in an array, privcmd must set the
MMAPBATCH_V1 error bits as part of the "report errors" phase, after
all the frames are mapped.

Migrate times are significantly improved (when using a PV toolstack
domain).  For example, for an idle 12 GiB PV guest:

        Before     After
  real  0m38.179s  0m26.868s
  user  0m15.096s  0m13.652s
  sys   0m28.988s  0m18.732s

<title>x86/xen: allow privcmd hypercalls to be preempted</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fdfd811ddde3678247248ca9a27faa999ca4cd51</id>
<content type='text'>
Hypercalls submitted by user space tools via the privcmd driver can
take a long time (potentially many 10s of seconds) if the hypercall
has many sub-operations.

A fully preemptible kernel may deschedule such as task in any upcall
called from a hypercall continuation.

However, in a kernel with voluntary or no preemption, hypercall
continuations in Xen allow event handlers to be run but the task
issuing the hypercall will not be descheduled until the hypercall is
complete and the ioctl returns to user space.  These long running
tasks may also trigger the kernel's soft lockup detection.

Add xen_preemptible_hcall_begin() and xen_preemptible_hcall_end() to
bracket hypercalls that may be preempted.  Use these in the privcmd
driver.

When returning from an upcall, call xen_maybe_preempt_hcall() which
adds a schedule point if if the current task was within a preemptible
hypercall.

Since _cond_resched() can move the task to a different CPU, clear and
set xen_in_preemptible_hcall around the call.

This failure represents a hypervisor issue, but if it does occur then nothing
good can come of returning pages which still refer to a foreign owned page
into the general allocation pool.

Instead we are forced to leak them. Log that we have done so.

The potential for failure only exists for autotranslated guest (e.g. ARM and
x86 PVH).

<title>Xen: Fix retry calls into PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH*.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a5deabe0e62203350369020687c3fc3b7445a0d0</id>
<content type='text'>
When a foreign mapper attempts to map guest frames that are paged out,
the mapper receives an ENOENT response and will have to try again
while a helper process pages the target frame back in.

Gating checks on PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH* ioctl args were preventing retries
of mapping calls.

Permit subsequent calls to update a sub-range of the VMA, iff nothing
is yet mapped in that range.

Since it is now valid to call PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH* multiple times, only
set vma-&gt;vm_private_data if the parameters are valid and (if
necessary) the pages for the auto_translated_physmap case have been
allocated.  This prevents subsequent calls from incorrectly entering
the 'retry' path when there are no pages allocated etc.

Convert printks to pr_&lt;level&gt; (excludes printk(KERN_DEBUG...)
to be more consistent throughout the xen subsystem.

Add pr_fmt with KBUILD_MODNAME or "xen:" KBUILD_MODNAME
Coalesce formats and add missing word spaces
Add missing newlines
Align arguments and reflow to 80 columns
Remove DRV_NAME from formats as pr_fmt adds the same content

This does change some of the prefixes of these messages
but it also does make them more consistent.

1. If any individual mapping error happens, the V1 case will mark *all*
operations as failed. Fixed.

2. The err_array was allocated with kcalloc, resulting in potentially O(n) page
allocations. Refactor code to not use this array.
