2008-08-20xen: clean up domain mode predicatesJeremy Fitzhardinge
There are four operating modes Xen code may find itself running in: - native - hvm domain - pv dom0 - pv domU Clean up predicates for testing for these states to make them more consistent.

2008-05-27xen pvfb: Dynamic mode support (screen resizing)Markus Armbruster
The pvfb backend indicates dynamic mode support by creating node feature_resize with a non-zero value in its xenstore directory. xen-fbfront sends a resize notification event on mode change. Fully backwards compatible both ways. Framebuffer size and initial resolution can be controlled through kernel parameter xen_fbfront.video. The backend enforces a separate size limit, which it advertises in node videoram in its xenstore directory. xen-kbdfront gets the maximum screen resolution from nodes width and height in the backend's xenstore directory instead of hardcoding it. Additional goodie: support for larger framebuffers (512M on a 64-bit system with 4K pages). Changing the number of bits per pixels dynamically is not supported, yet.

2008-05-27xen pvfb: Zero unused bytes in events sent to backendMarkus Armbruster
This isn't a security flaw (the backend can see all our memory anyway). But it's the right thing to do all the same. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-05-27xen pvfb: Module aliases to support module autoloadingMarkus Armbruster
These are mostly for completeness and consistency with the other frontends, as PVFB is typically compiled in rather than a module. Derived from http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg?rev/5e294e29a43e While there, add module descriptions.

2008-05-27xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummyMarkus Armbruster
Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is). This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc117dff26058fbac316b8acfc2cb5f7 did that for us. Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to enable the Xen console as well. Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup game is over. Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

2008-04-24xen pvfb: Para-virtual framebuffer, keyboard and pointer driverMarkus Armbruster
This is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers: drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse. The backends run in dom0 user space. The two drivers are not in two separate patches, because the intermediate step (one driver, not the other) is somewhat problematic: the backend in dom0 needs both drivers, and will refuse to complete device initialization unless they're both present.
