The variable for the 'permissive' module parameter used to be static
but was recently changed to be extern.  This puts it in the kernel
global namespace if the driver is built-in, so its name should begin
with a prefix identifying the driver.

<title>xenbus_client: Extend interface to support multi-page ring</title>

Originally Xen PV drivers only use single-page ring to pass along
information. This might limit the throughput between frontend and
backend.

The patch extends Xenbus driver to support multi-page ring, which in
general should improve throughput if ring is the bottleneck. Changes to
various frontend / backend to adapt to the new interface are also
included.

Affected Xen drivers:
* blkfront/back
* netfront/back
* pcifront/back
* scsifront/back
* vtpmfront

The interface is documented, as before, in xenbus_client.c.

We print at the warninig level messages such as:
pciback 0000:90:00.5: MSI-X preparation failed (-38)

which is due to the hypervisor not supporting this sub-hypercall
(which was added in Xen 4.3).

Instead of having scary messages all the time - only have it
when the hypercall is actually supported.

Otherwise the guest can abuse that control to cause e.g. PCIe
Unsupported Request responses by disabling memory and/or I/O decoding
and subsequently causing (CPU side) accesses to the respective address
ranges, which (depending on system configuration) may be fatal to the
host.

Note that to alter any of the bits collected together as
PCI_COMMAND_GUEST permissive mode is now required to be enabled
globally or on the specific device.

This is CVE-2015-2150 / XSA-120.

<title>xen-pciback: drop SR-IOV VFs when PF driver unloads</title>

<content type='text'>
When a PF driver unloads, it may find it necessary to leave the VFs
around simply because of pciback having marked them as assigned to a
guest. Utilize a suitable notification to let go of the VFs, thus
allowing the PF to go back into the state it was before its driver
loaded (which in particular allows the driver to be loaded again with
it being able to create the VFs anew, but which also allows to then
pass through the PF instead of the VFs).

Don't do this however for any VFs currently in active use by a guest.

<title>xen/pciback: Restore configuration space when detaching from a guest.</title>

<id>b1df4a56bf4a61113e8928f932d346bed6eef553</id>
<content type='text'>
The commit "xen/pciback: Don't deadlock when unbinding." was using
the version of pci_reset_function which would lock the device lock.
That is no good as we can dead-lock. As such we swapped to using
the lock-less version and requiring that the callers
of 'pcistub_put_pci_dev' take the device lock. And as such
this bug got exposed.

Using the lock-less version is  OK, except that we tried to
use 'pci_restore_state' after the lock-less version of
__pci_reset_function_locked - which won't work as 'state_saved'
is set to false. Said 'state_saved' is a toggle boolean that
is to be used by the sequence of a) pci_save_state/pci_restore_state
or b) pci_load_and_free_saved_state/pci_restore_state. We don't
want to use a) as the guest might have messed up the PCI
configuration space and we want it to revert to the state
when the PCI device was binded to us. Therefore we pick
b) to restore the configuration space.

We restore from our 'golden' version of PCI configuration space, when an:
 - Device is unbinded from pciback
 - Device is detached from a guest.
