[ANNOUNCE] backports for 4.0.4 and 4.1.3 stable releases

[ANNOUNCE] backports for 4.0.4 and 4.1.3 stable releases

[Ian Campbell]

The time has come for another round of stable releases.

Please send (or resend) any outstanding backport requests for 4.0.4 and
4.1.3 before Friday 20 April.

Note that 4.0.4 will likely be the last release in the 4.0.x branch.

Ian.

4.1 backports attached (apply with some offsets, since they're taken
directly form our SLE11 SP2 tree).

XENPF_set_processor_pminfo XEN_PM_CX overflows states array

Calling XENPF_set_processor_pminfo with XEN_PM_CX could cause states
array in "struct acpi_processor_power" to exceed its limit.

The array used to be reset (by function cpuidle_init_cpu()) for each
hypercall. The patch puts it back that way and adds an assertion to
make it clear in case that happens again.

Signed-off-by: Eric Chanudet <eric.chanudet@eu.citrix.com>

- convert assertion to printk() & bail
- eliminate struct acpi_processor_cx's valid member (not read anymore)
- further adjustments to one-time-only vs each-time operations in
  cpuidle_init_cpu()
- don't use ACPI_STATE_Cn as array index anymore

x86/hpet: disable before reboot or kexec

Linux up to now is not smart enough to properly clear the HPET when it
boots, which is particularly a problem when a kdump attempt from
running under Xen is being made. Linux itself added code to work around
this to its shutdown paths quite some time ago, so let's do something
similar in Xen: Save the configuration register settings during boot,
and restore them during shutdown. This should cover the majority of
cases where the secondary kernel might not come up because timer
interrupts don't work.

These are not yet in -unstable.  I will backport them when they are
provided we get a test push with them...

I don't know whether can non-commit xen-unstable be considered for
backport so I am trying since deadline is before coming Friday 20
April 2012.

libxl/xend: name tap devices with a xentap prefix

Reference: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-04/msg01223.html

My backport has a modification as stated in
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-04/msg01374.html
about the line:

vifname = "xen-" + vifname

to:

vifname = "xentap-" + vifname

The backport patch is attached and tested with xen-4.1-testing
changeset 23283:494aa5ecd2e1 using xm and xl.

Thanks.

Kindest regards,
Giam Teck Choon

libxl/xend: name tap devices with a xentap prefix

This prevents the udev scripts from operating on other tap devices (e.g.
openvpn etc)

Also add "xentap-" prefix to the tap device when an explicit name is given to
avoid a conflict with the vif device, which would otherwise have the same name.
Likewise correct the documentation for this option which suggested it applied
to HVM tap devices only.

Reported by Michael Young.

Yes, I think this is OK in principle but we should wait for the
patches to actually go into -unstable and be tested there, before we
apply them to earlier trees.

IIRC we are waiting for a repost of the -unstable version ?

Yes, waiting for the reposts from Ian C. while he is waiting for the
hotplug series (I think) from err... someone (sorry, can't remember
names but I guess is Roger) else to be committed in xen-unstable or
something.  Thanks for letting me know about this is OK to backport
and I agree that we shall wait for it to be committed in xen-unstable
before backporting to earlier tree.

Thanks.

As there were no -rc1's so far anyway, I'd like to additionally propose
the first hunk of 25168:d5f9005dfc4a for 4.1.

Further candidates, though more involved in terms of what
they change, appear to be 25191:a95fc7decc83,
25195:a06e6cdeafe3, and 25196:375fa55c7a6c.

I've now done this.

Maybe. They're quite big though.

Can 25242:b7ce6a88bebb, 24990:322300fd2ebd and 25058:f47d91cb0faa be 
backported to 4.0 and 4.1?

Thanks,

Any plan then to tag RC1-s on both trees?

I know this comes late in the day but if possible please consider
25218:cf2de273869f, 25255:fd04ba0aa4fa and 25256:9dda0efd8ce1 for backport
to 4.1.3.
