c1bb2e3246 Update Xen headers from 4.2 to 4.6
Pull the latest headers for Xen which allow us to add support for ARM and
use new features in FreeBSD.

This is a verbatim copy of the xen/include/public so every headers which
don't exits anymore in the Xen repositories have been dropped.

Note the interface version hasn't been bumped, it will be done in a
follow-up. Although, it requires fix in the code to get it compiled:

 - sys/xen/xen_intr.h: evtchn_port_t is already defined in the headers so
   drop it.

 - {amd64,i386}/include/intr_machdep.h: NR_EVENT_CHANNELS now depends on
   xen/interface/event_channel.h, so include it.

 - {amd64,i386}/{amd64,i386}/support.S: It's not neccessary to include
   machine/intr_machdep.h. This is also fixing build compilation with the
   new headers.

 - dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c: The typedef for blkif_request_segmenthas
   been dropped. So directly use struct blkif_request_segment

Finally, modify xen/interface/xen-compat.h to throw a preprocessing error if
__XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__ is not set. This is allow us to catch any file
where xen/xen-os.h is not correctly included.

95f13176f5 Add domain support to PCI bus allocation
When the system has more than a single PCI domain, the bus numbers
are not unique, thus they cannot be used for "pci" device numbering.
Change bus numbers to -1 (i.e. to-be-determined automatically)
wherever the code did not care about domains.

ef7f753c04 xen: allow disabling PV disks and nics
Introduce two new loader tunnables that can be used to disable PV disks and
PV nics at boot time. They default to 0 and should be set to 1 (or any
number different than 0) in order to disable the PV devices:

hw.xen.disable_pv_disks=1
hw.xen.disable_pv_nics=1

In /boot/loader.conf will disable both PV disks and nics.

d40e2b9930 Add support for Xen blkif indirect segment I/Os. This makes it possible for
the blkfront driver to perform I/Os of up to 2 MB, subject to support from
the blkback to which it is connected and the initiation of such large I/Os
by the rest of the kernel.  In practice, the I/O size is increased from 40 kB
to 128 kB.

The changes to xen/interface/io/blkif.h consist merely of merging updates
from the upstream Xen repository.

In dev/xen/blkfront/block.h we add some convenience macros and structure
fields used for indirect-page I/Os: The device records its negotiated limit
on the number of indirect pages used, while each I/O command structure gains
permanently allocated page(s) for indirect page references and the Xen grant
references for those pages.

In dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c we now check in xbd_queue_cb whether a request
is small enough to handle without an indirection page, and either follow the
previous behaviour or use new code for issuing an indirect segment I/O.  In
xbd_connect we read the size of indirect segment I/Os supported by the backend
and select the maximum size we will use; then allocate the pages and Xen grant
references for each I/O command structure.  In xbd_free those grants and pages
are released.

A new loader tunable, hw.xbd.xbd_enable_indirect, can be set to 0 in order to
disable this functionality; it works by pretending that the backend does not
support this feature.  Some backends exhibit a loss of performance with large
I/Os, so users may wish to test with and without this functionality enabled.

aab1318235 Move the bus_dma_tag creation and per-transaction data allocation from
xbd_initialize to xbd_connect.  Both of these initialization steps need
to know what the maximum possible I/O size will be, and when we gain
support for indirect segment I/Os we won't know that value until we
reach xbd_connect.  Since none of this data is used before xbd_connect
completes, moving the initialization is harmless.

  adjusting the request.
* block_segs is now a synonym for nsegs, so garbage collect that variable.

  decrement from the loop.

ecdfc8f10a xen-blk{front/back}: remove broken FreeBSD extensions
The FreeBSD extension adds a new request type, called blkif_segment_block
which has a size of 112bytes for both i386 and amd64. This is fine on
amd64, since requests have a size of 112B there also. But this is not true
for i386, where requests have a size of 108B. So on i386 we basically
overrun the ring slot when queuing a request of type blkif_segment_block_t,
which is very bad.

Remove this extension (including a cleanup of the public blkif.h header
file) from blkfront and blkback.

d9a8b7337b xen: introduce a newbus function to allocate unused memory
In order to map memory from other domains when running on Xen FreeBSD uses
unused physical memory regions. Until now this memory has been allocated
using bus_alloc_resource, but this is not completely safe as we can end up
using unreclaimed MMIO or ACPI regions.

Fix this by introducing a new newbus method that can be used by Xen drivers
to request for unused memory regions. On amd64 we make sure this memory
comes from regions above 4GB in order to prevent clashes with MMIO/ACPI
regions. On i386 there's nothing we can do, so just fall back to the
previous mechanism.

60909669f0 In order to reduce use of M_EXT outside of the mbuf allocator and
socket-buffer implementations, introduce a return value for MCLGET()
(and m_cljget() that underlies it) to allow the caller to avoid testing
M_EXT itself.  Update all callers to use the return value.

With this change, very few network device drivers remain aware of
M_EXT; the primary exceptions lie in mbuf-chain pretty printers for
debugging, and in a few cases, custom mbuf and cluster allocation
implementations.

NB: This is a difficult-to-test change as it touches many drivers for
which I don't have physical devices.  Instead we've gone for intensive
review, but further post-commit review would definitely be appreciated
to spot errors where changes could not easily be made mechanically,
but were largely mechanical in nature.

1ca25732e0 xen: fix blkback pushing responses before releasing internal resources
Fix a problem where the blockback driver could run out of requests,
despite the fact that we allocate enough request and reqlist
structures to satisfy the maximum possible number of requests.

The problem was that we were sending responses back to the other
end (blockfront) before freeing resources. The Citrix Windows
driver is pretty agressive about queueing, and would queue more I/O
to us immediately after we sent responses to it. We would run into
a resource shortage and stall out I/O until we freed resources.

It isn't clear whether the request shortage condition was an
indirect cause of the I/O hangs we've been seeing between Windows
with the Citrix PV drivers and FreeBSD's blockback, but the above
problem is certainly a bug.

   itself.  Both callers could easily hold the mutex

 - Add two new counters, accessible via sysctl
   variables.  The first one counts the number of
   I/Os that are queued and waiting to be pushed
   (reqs_queued_for_completion).  The second one
   (reqs_completed_with_error) counts the number of

bdacf9ba4d Improve transmit sending offload, TSO, algorithm in general.
The current TSO limitation feature only takes the total number of
bytes in an mbuf chain into account and does not limit by the number
of mbufs in a chain. Some kinds of hardware is limited by two
factors. One is the fragment length and the second is the fragment
count. Both of these limits need to be taken into account when doing
TSO. Else some kinds of hardware might have to drop completely valid
mbuf chains because they cannot loaded into the given hardware's DMA
engine. The new way of doing TSO limitation has been made backwards
compatible as input from other FreeBSD developers and will use
defaults for values not set.
