* xen: Use the proper irq functionsThomas Gleixner2014-03-041-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | generic_handler_irq() already tests for !desc so use this instead of generic_handle_irq_desc(). Use irq_get_irq_data() instead of desc->irq_data.

* xen/events: Add the hypervisor interface for the FIFO-based event channelsDavid Vrabel2014-01-061-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the hypercall sub-ops and the structures for the shared data used in the FIFO-based event channel ABI. The design document for this new ABI is available here: http://xenbits.xen.org/people/dvrabel/event-channels-H.pdf In summary, events are reported using a per-domain shared event array of event words. Each event word has PENDING, LINKED and MASKED bits and a LINK field for pointing to the next event in the event queue. There are 16 event queues (with different priorities) per-VCPU. Key advantages of this new ABI include: - Support for over 100,000 events (2^17). - 16 different event priorities. - Improved fairness in event latency through the use of FIFOs. The ABI is available in Xen 4.4 and later.

* xen/events: Refactor evtchn_to_irq array to be dynamically allocatedDavid Vrabel2014-01-061-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor static array evtchn_to_irq array to be dynamically allocated by implementing get and set functions for accesses to the array. Two new port ops are added: max_channels (maximum supported number of event channels) and nr_channels (number of currently usable event channels). For the 2-level ABI, these numbers are both the same as the shared data structure is a fixed size. For the FIFO ABI, these will be different as the event array is expanded dynamically. This allows more than 65000 event channels so an unsigned short is no longer sufficient for an event channel port number and unsigned int is used instead.

| | | | | | | | | evtchn_ops contains the low-level operations that access the shared data structures. This allows alternate ABIs to be supported.
