Subject: [PATCH 4.9 73/78] xen/events: block rogue events for some time

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

commit 5f7f77400ab5b357b5fdb7122c3442239672186c upstream.

In order to avoid high dom0 load due to rogue guests sending events at
high frequency, block those events in case there was no action needed
in dom0 to handle the events.

This is done by adding a per-event counter, which set to zero in case
an EOI without the XEN_EOI_FLAG_SPURIOUS is received from a backend
driver, and incremented when this flag has been set. In case the
counter is 2 or higher delay the EOI by 1 << (cnt - 2) jiffies, but
not more than 1 second.

In order not to waste memory shorten the per-event refcnt to two bytes
(it should normally never exceed a value of 2). Add an overflow check
to evtchn_get() to make sure the 2 bytes really won't overflow.

This is part of XSA-332.
