commit 0e367ae46503cfe7791460c8ba8434a5d60b2bd5 upstream.

If the frontend is using a non-native protocol (e.g., a 64-bit
frontend with a 32-bit backend) and it sent an unrecognized request,
the request was not translated and the response would have the
incorrect ID.  This may cause the frontend driver to behave
incorrectly or crash.

Since the ID field in the request is always in the same place,
regardless of the request type we can get the correct ID and make a
valid response (which will report BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP).

This bug affected 64-bit SLES 11 guests when using a 32-bit backend.
This guest does a BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 (BLKIF_OP_PACKET in the SLES
source) and would crash in blkif_int() as the ID in the response would
be invalid.

<title>xen-pciback: notify hypervisor about devices intended to be assigned to guests</title>

commit 909b3fdb0dd4f3db07b2d75425a00a2adb551383 upstream.

For MSI-X capable devices the hypervisor wants to write protect the
MSI-X table and PBA, yet it can't assume that resources have been
assigned to their final values at device enumeration time. Thus have
pciback do that notification, as having the device controlled by it is
a prerequisite to assigning the device to guests anyway.

This is the kernel part of hypervisor side commit 4245d33 ("x86/MSI:
add mechanism to fully protect MSI-X table from PV guest accesses") on
the master branch of git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.

 "Two fixes.  One of them is caused by the recent change introduced by
  the 'x86-bsp-hotplug-for-linus' tip tree that inhibited bootup (old
  function does not do what it used to do).  The other one is just a
  vanilla bug.

   - Fix to bootup regression introduced by 'x86-bsp-hotplug-for-linus'
     tip branch.
   - Fix to vcpu hotplug code."

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 - Add necessary infrastructure to make balloon driver work under ARM.
 - Add /dev/xen/privcmd interfaces to work with ARM and PVH.
 - Improve Xen PCIBack wild-card parsing.
 - Add Xen ACPI PAD (Processor Aggregator) support - so can offline/
   online sockets depending on the power consumption.
 - PVHVM + kexec = use an E820_RESV region for the shared region so we
   don't overwrite said region during kexec reboot.
 - Cleanups, compile fixes.

Fix up some trivial conflicts due to the balloon driver now working on
ARM, and there were changes next to the previous work-arounds that are
now gone.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.8-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen/PVonHVM: fix compile warning in init_hvm_pv_info
  xen: arm: implement remap interfaces needed for privcmd mappings.
  xen: correctly use xen_pfn_t in remap_domain_mfn_range.
  xen: arm: enable balloon driver
  xen: balloon: allow PVMMU interfaces to be compiled out
  xen: privcmd: support autotranslated physmap guests.
  xen: add pages parameter to xen_remap_domain_mfn_range
  xen/acpi: Move the xen_running_on_version_or_later function.
