[PATCH v3 1/8] xen/arm: introduce static shared memory



From: Penny Zheng <penny.zheng@xxxxxxx>

This patch serie introduces a new feature: setting up static
shared memory on a dom0less system, through device tree configuration.

This commit parses shared memory node at boot-time, and reserve it in
bootinfo.reserved_mem to avoid other use.

This commits proposes a new Kconfig CONFIG_STATIC_SHM to wrap
static-shm-related codes, and this option depends on static memory(
CONFIG_STATIC_MEMORY). That's because that later we want to reuse a few
helpers, guarded with CONFIG_STATIC_MEMORY, like acquire_staticmem_pages, etc,
on static shared memory.

---
v3 change:
- make nr_shm_domain unsigned int
---
v2 change:
- document refinement
- remove bitmap and use the iteration to check
- add a new field nr_shm_domain to keep the number of shared domain

+Static Shared Memory
+====================
+
+The static shared memory device tree nodes allow users to statically set up
+shared memory on dom0less system, enabling domains to do shm-based
+communication.
+
+- compatible
+
+    "xen,domain-shared-memory-v1"
+
+- xen,shm-id
+
+    An u8 value represents the unique identifier of the shared memory region.
+    The maximum identifier shall be "xen,shm-id = <0xff>".
+
+- xen,shared-mem
+
+    An array takes a physical address, which is the base address of the
+    shared memory region in host physical address space, a size, and a guest
+    physical address, as the target address of the mapping. The number of cells
+    for the host address (and size) is the same as the guest pseudo-physical
+    address and they are inherited from the parent node.
+
+- role (Optional)
+
+    A string property specifying the ownership of a shared memory region,
+    the value must be one of the following: "owner", or "borrower"
+    A shared memory region could be explicitly backed by one domain, which is
+    called "owner domain", and all the other domains who are also sharing
+    this region are called "borrower domain".
+    If not specified, the default value is "borrower" and owner is
+    "dom_shared", a system domain.
+
+As an example:
+
+chosen {
+    #address-cells = <0x1>;
+    #size-cells = <0x1>;
+    xen,xen-bootargs = "console=dtuart dtuart=serial0 bootscrub=0";

+        xen,shared-mem = <0x10000000 0x10000000 0x10000000>;
+    }
+
+    domU1 {
+        compatible = "xen,domain";
+        #address-cells = <0x1>;
+        #size-cells = <0x1>;
+        memory = <0 131072>;

+        #address-cells = <0x1>;
+        #size-cells = <0x1>;
+        memory = <0 65536>;
+        cpus = <1>;
+
+        /*

+
+This is an example with two static shared memory regions.
+
+For the static shared memory region identified as 0x0, host physical
+address starting at 0x10000000 of 256MB will be reserved to be shared between
+Dom0 and DomU1. It will get mapped at 0x10000000 in Dom0 guest physical address
+space, and at 0x50000000 in DomU1 guest physical address space. Dom0 is
+explicitly defined as the owner domain, and DomU1 is the borrower domain.
+
+For the static shared memory region identified as 0x1, host physical
+address starting at 0x50000000 of 512MB will be reserved to be shared between
+DomU1 and DomU2. It will get mapped at 0x60000000 in DomU1 guest physical
+address space, and at 0x70000000 in DomU2 guest physical address space. DomU1
+and DomU2 are both the borrower domain, the owner domain is the default owner
+domain dom_shared.
