commit 9996bd4947 upstream.
'xenbus_backend' watches 'state' of devices, which is writable by
guests. Hence, if guests intensively updates it, dom0 will have lots of
pending events that exhausting memory of dom0. In other words, guests
can trigger dom0 memory pressure. This is known as XSA-349. However,
the watch callback of it, 'frontend_changed()', reads only 'state', so
doesn't need to have the pending events.
To avoid the problem, this commit disallows pending watch messages for
'xenbus_backend' using the 'will_handle()' watch callback.
This is part of XSA-349

The xenbus driver has an awful mixture of internally and globally
visible headers: some of the internally used only stuff is defined in
the global header include/xen/xenbus.h while some stuff defined in
internal headers is used by other drivers, too.
Clean this up by moving the externally used symbols to
include/xen/xenbus.h and the symbols used internally only to a new
header drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus.h replacing xenbus_comms.h and
xenbus_probe.h

Use xenbus_read_unsigned() instead of xenbus_scanf() when possible.
This requires to change the type of the reads from int to unsigned,
but these cases have been wrong before: negative values are not allowed
for the modified cases.

The DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro looks a bit weird and causes sparse
errors.
Replace the uses with standard structure definitions instead. This is
similar to pci and usb device registration.

The dev_attrs field of struct bus_type is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead. This converts the xenbus code to use the
correct field.

Convert printks to pr_<level> (excludes printk(KERN_DEBUG...)
to be more consistent throughout the xen subsystem.
Add pr_fmt with KBUILD_MODNAME or "xen:" KBUILD_MODNAME
Coalesce formats and add missing word spaces
Add missing newlines
Align arguments and reflow to 80 columns
Remove DRV_NAME from formats as pr_fmt adds the same content
This does change some of the prefixes of these messages
but it also does make them more consistent.

The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the
identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than
switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
a macro to simplify this.
Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to
DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
the ID table will be used for .driver.name).
Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
when the macro gets used.
v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

Things like THIS_MODULE and EXPORT_SYMBOL were simply everywhere
because module.h was also everywhere. But we are fixing the latter.
So we need to call out the real users in advance.

.. we check whether 'xdev' is NULL - but there is no need for
it as the 'dev' check is done before. The 'dev' is embedded in
the 'xdev' so having xdev != NULL with dev being being checked
is not going to happen.

The xenbus bus type uses device_create_file to assign all used device
attributes. However it does not remove them when the device goes away.
This patch uses the dev_attrs field of the bus type to specify default
attributes for all devices.
