[PATCH v2] xen/arm: p2m: Populate pages for GICv2 mapping in arch_domain_create()



Hardware using GICv2 needs to create a P2M mapping of 8KB GICv2 area
when the domain is created. Considering the worst case of page tables
which requires 6 P2M pages as the two pages will be consecutive but not
necessarily in the same L3 page table and keep a buffer, populate 16
pages as the default value to the P2M pages pool in arch_domain_create()
at the domain creation stage to satisfy the GICv2 requirement. For
GICv3, the above-mentioned P2M mapping is not necessary, but since the
allocated 16 pages here would not be lost, hence populate these pages
unconditionally.

With the default 16 P2M pages populated, there would be a case that
failures would happen in the domain creation with P2M pages already in
use. To properly free the P2M for this case, firstly support the
optionally preemption of p2m_teardown(), then call p2m_teardown() and
p2m_set_allocation(d, 0, NULL) in p2m_final_teardown() if needed.

Fixes: cbea5a1149ca ("xen/arm: Allocate and free P2M pages from the P2M pool")

This should also be backported to 4.13, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16.
v2 changes:
- Move the p2m_set_allocation(d, 0, NULL); to p2m_final_teardown().
- Support optionally preemption of p2m_teardown(), and make the calling of
  p2m_teardown() preemptively when relinquish the resources, non-preemptively
  in p2m_final_teardown().
- Refactor the error handling to make the code use less spin_unlock.
- Explain the worst case of page tables and the unconditional population
  of pages in commit message.
- Mention the unconditional population of pages in in-code comment.
