[PATCH V6 2/2] libxl/arm: Add handling of extended regions for DomU



From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <oleksandr_tyshchenko@xxxxxxxx>

The extended region (safe range) is a region of guest physical
address space which is unused and could be safely used to create
grant/foreign mappings instead of wasting real RAM pages from
the domain memory for establishing these mappings.

The extended regions are chosen at the domain creation time and
advertised to it via "reg" property under hypervisor node in
the guest device-tree. As region 0 is reserved for grant table
space (always present), the indexes for extended regions are 1...N.
If extended regions could not be allocated for some reason,
Xen doesn't fail and behaves as usual, so only inserts region 0.

Please note the following limitations:
- The extended region feature is only supported for 64-bit domain
  currently.
- The ACPI case is not covered.

***

The algorithm to choose extended regions for non-direct mapped
DomU is simpler in comparison with the algorithm for direct mapped
Dom0. We usually have a lot of unused space above 4GB, and might
have some unused space below 4GB (depends on guest memory size).
Try to allocate separate 2MB-aligned extended regions from the first
(below 4GB) and second (above 4GB) RAM banks taking into the account
the maximum supported guest physical address space size and the amount
of memory assigned to the guest. The minimum size of extended region
the same as for Dom0 (64MB).

Changes RFC -> V2:
   - update patch description
   - drop uneeded "extended-region" DT property
   - clear reg array in finalise_ext_region() and add a TODO

Changes V2 -> V3:
   - update patch description, comments in code
   - only pick up regions with size >= 64MB
   - move the region calculation to make_hypervisor_node() and drop
     finalise_ext_region()
   - extend the list of arguments for make_hypervisor_node()
   - do not show warning for 32-bit domain
   - change the region alignment from 1GB to 2MB
   - move EXT_REGION_SIZE to public/arch-arm.h

Changes V3 -> V4:
   - add R-b, A-b and T-b

Changes V4 -> V5:
   - update patch description and comments in code
   - reflect changes done in previous patch to pass gpaddr_bits
     via createdomain domctl (struct xen_arch_domainconfig)
   - drop R-b, A-b and T-b
   - drop limit for maximum extended region size (128GB)
   - try to also allocate region below 4GB, optimize code
     for calculating extended regions

Change V5 -> V6:
   - reflect changes done in previous patch to pass gpaddr_bits
     via getdomaininfo domctl (struct xen_domctl_getdomaininfo)
   - reduce the number of local variables, rework calculations
