x86/xen: attempt to inflate the memory balloon on PVH

When running as PVH or HVM Linux will use holes in the memory map as scratch
space to map grants, foreign domain pages and possibly miscellaneous other
stuff. However the usage of such memory map holes for Xen purposes can be
problematic. The request of holesby Xen happen quite early in the kernel boot
process (grant table setup already uses scratch map space), and it's possible
that by then not all devices have reclaimed their MMIO space. It's not
unlikely for chunks of Xen scratch map space to end up using PCI bridge MMIO
window memory, which (as expected) causes quite a lot of issues in the system.

At least for PVH dom0 we have the possibility of using regions marked as
UNUSABLE in the e820 memory map. Either if the region is UNUSABLE in the
native memory map, or it has been converted into UNUSABLE in order to hide RAM
regions from dom0, the second stage translation page-tables can populate those
areas without issues.

PV already has this kind of logic, where the balloon driver is inflated at
boot. Re-use the current logic in order to also inflate it when running as
PVH. onvert UNUSABLE regions up to the ratio specified in EXTRA_MEM_RATIO to
RAM, while reserving them using xen_add_extra_mem() (which is also moved so
it's no longer tied to CONFIG_PV).

x86/xen: Make virt_to_pfn() a static inline

Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.

Also fix all offending call sites to pass a (void *) rather
than an unsigned long. Since virt_to_mfn() is wrapping
virt_to_pfn() this function has become polymorphic as well
so the usage need to be fixed up.

iscsi_ibft: Fix finding the iBFT under Xen Dom 0

To facilitate diskless iSCSI boot, the firmware can place a table of
configuration details in memory called the iBFT. The presence of this
table is not specified, nor is the precise location (and it's not in the
E820) so the kernel has to search for a magic marker to find it.

When running under Xen, Dom 0 does not have access to the entire host's
memory, only certain regions which are identity-mapped which means that
the pseudo-physical address in Dom0 == real host physical address.
Add the iBFT search bounds as a reserved region which causes it to be
identity-mapped in xen_set_identity_and_remap_chunk() which allows Dom0
access to the specific physical memory to correctly search for the iBFT
magic marker (and later access the full table).

This necessitates moving the call to reserve_ibft_region() somewhat
later so that it is called after e820__memory_setup() which is when the
Xen identity mapping adjustments are applied. The precise location of
the call is not too important so I've put it alongside dmi_setup() which
does similar scanning of memory for configuration tables.

Finally in the iBFT find code, instead of using isa_bus_to_virt() which
doesn't do the right thing under Xen, use early_memremap() like the
dmi_setup() code does.

The result of these changes is that it is possible to boot a diskless
Xen + Dom0 running off an iSCSI disk whereas previously it would fail to
find the iBFT and consequently, the iSCSI root disk.

Revert "xen: fix p2m size in dom0 for disabled memory hotplug case"

This partially reverts commit 882213990d32 ("xen: fix p2m size in dom0
for disabled memory hotplug case")

There's no need to special case XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC anymore in order
to correctly size the p2m. The generic memory hotplug option has
already been tied together with the Xen hotplug limit, so enabling
memory hotplug should already trigger a properly sized p2m on Xen PV.

Note that XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC depends on ZONE_DEVICE which pulls in
MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

Leave the check added to __set_phys_to_machine and the adjusted
comment about EXTRA_MEM_RATIO.

xen: fix p2m size in dom0 for disabled memory hotplug case

Since commit 9e2369c06c8a18 ("xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated
memory") foreign mappings are using guest physical addresses allocated
via ZONE_DEVICE functionality.

This will result in problems for the case of no balloon memory hotplug
being configured, as the p2m list will only cover the initial memory
size of the domain. Any ZONE_DEVICE allocated address will be outside
the p2m range and thus a mapping can't be established with that memory
address.

Fix that by extending the p2m size for that case. At the same time add
a check for a to be created mapping to be within the p2m limits in
order to detect errors early.

While changing a comment, remove some 32-bit leftovers.

This is XSA-369.

- Remove the open coded ASM entry code in 32-bit

The handler stubs need to stay in ASM code as they need corner case handling
and adjustment of the stack pointer.

Provide a new C function which invokes the entry/exit handling and calls
into the XEN handler on the interrupt stack if required.

The exit code is slightly different from the regular idtentry_exit() on
non-preemptible kernels. If the hypercall is preemptible and need_resched()
is set then XEN provides a preempt hypercall scheduling function.

Move this functionality into the entry code so it can use the existing
idtentry functionality.

This reverts commit b3cf8528bb21febb650a7ecbf080d0647be40b9f.

That commit unintentionally broke Xen balloon memory hotplug with

got assigned under a new "Unusable memory" resource in IO/Mem tree
any attempt to online this memory would fail due to general kernel
restrictions on having "System RAM" resources as 1st level only.

effectively reverting f5775e0b6116) and keep track of that region as
a hostmem resource that can be used for the hotplug.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
