xen/arm: Find automatically the gnttab region for DOM0
Currently, the grant table region is hardcoded per-platform. When a new
board is coming up, we have to check the spec in order to find a space
in the memory layout free. Depending on the platform it may be tedious.
A good candidate for the gnttab region is the one used by Xen binary as
some part will never be mapped to the DOM0 address, MMIO are mapped 1:1
and the RAM will be either:
- direct mapped: 1:1 mapping is used => no problem
- non direct mapped: Xen always relocates himself as high as possible
(limited to 4GB on ARM32) and the RAM bank are filled from the first
one. It's very unlikely that the gnttab region will overlap with the
RAM. Although for safety a check may be necessary when we will reenable
the option.
Furthermore, there is plenty of space to contain a big gnttab, the default
size is 32 frame (i.e 128KB) but it can be changed via a command option.
It's not possible to use the whole region used by Xen, as some part of
the binary will be freed after Xen boot and can be used by DOM0 and other
guest. A sensible choice is the text secion as it will always reside in
memory never be mapped to the guest and the size is big enough (~300KB
on ARM64). It could be extended later to use other contiguous sections
such as data...
Note that on ARM64, the grant table region may be after 4GB (Xen is
relocated to the highest address) using DOM0 32 bit with short page table
may not work. Although, I don't think this is a big deal as device may not
work and/or the RAM is too high due to the 1:1 mapping.
This patch also drop the platforms thunderx and xilinx-zynqmp which became
dummy by dropping the hardcoding DOM0 grant table region.
