Thomas Gleixner 589d03e93f xen: Use the proper irq functions
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.

David Vrabel bf2bbe07f1 xen/events: Add the hypervisor interface for the FIFO-based event channels
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.

David Vrabel d0b075ffee xen/events: Refactor evtchn_to_irq array to be dynamically allocated
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.

David Vrabel ab9a1cca3d xen/events: add struct evtchn_ops for the low-level port operations
evtchn_ops contains the low-level operations that access the shared
data structures.  This allows alternate ABIs to be supported.

In preparation for alternative event channel ABIs, move all the
functions accessing the shared data structures into their own file.
