If we start a guest with 'cpus="all"' and without 'vcpus' or
'maxvcpus' (or sets them to 0), we execute parse_vcpu_affinity() with
`num_cpus=0`. This malloc "b_info->vcpu_hard_affinity" with a buffer
of size 0, which is implementation defined, and we still initialise
the "first" bitmap of this allocation, which mean we have a buffer
overflow.
On Alpine Linux, this result in a segv when the buffer is being
disposed of.
Since libxl will assume there's at least 1 vcpu, we default to 1 in
xl as well. (libxl sets max_vcpus to 1 if unset, and allocate
avail_vcpus if its size is 0.)

The commit 3e322bef8b ("xen/arm: firmware: Add SCMI over SMC calls
handling layer") introduces simple driver which forwards SCMI over SMC
calls from hwdom/dom0 to EL3 firmware (TF-A) with a single SCMI OSPM agent
support. While it is working gracefully for hwdom/dom0 use case it doesn't
cover "thin Dom0 with guest domain, which serves as Driver domain"
use-case. In this case HW need to be enable in Driver domain and dom0 is
performing only control functions.
The EL3 SCMI firmware (TF-A) with a single SCMI OSPM agent support is
pretty generic case for the default vendors SDK and new platforms.
This patch enables passthrough of SCMI SMC single agent interface to the
one guest domain serving as Driver domain.
Configure Dom0 to enable SCMI passthrough:
- dom0: add scmi-smc-passthrough to the Xen Command Line
Enabled SCMI passthrough for guest using toolstack in the following way:
- domD: xl.cfg add "arm_sci" option as below
arm_sci = "type=scmi_smc"
- domD: xl.cfg enable access to the "arm,scmi-shmem"
iomem = [
"47ff0,1@22001",
]
- domD: add SCMI nodes to the Driver domain partial device tree as in the
below example:
passthrough {
scmi_shm_0: sram@22001000 {
compatible = "arm,scmi-shmem";
reg = <0x0 0x22001000 0x0 0x1000>;
};
firmware {
compatible = "simple-bus";
scmi: scmi {
compatible = "arm,scmi-smc";
shmem = <&scmi_shm_0>;
...
}
}
}
dom0less case configuration:
- add "xen,sci_type" property for required DomU ("xen,domain") node
xen,sci_type="scmi_smc"
- add scmi nodes to the Driver domain partial device tree the same way
as above and enable access to the "arm,scmi-shmem" according to
dom0less documentation. For example:
scmi_shm_0: sram@22001000 {
compatible = "arm,scmi-shmem";
reg = <0x00 0x22001000 0x00 0x1000>;
-> xen,reg = <0x0 0x47ff0000 0x0 0x1000 0x0 0x22001000>;
-> xen,force-assign-without-iommu;
};
The SCMI SMC single agent interface can be enabled for one and only one
domain. In general, the configuration is similar to any other HW
passthrough, except explicitly enabling SCMI with "arm_sci" xl.cfg option.
Note that "arm,scmi-smc" and "arm,scmi-shmem" nodes will be removed from
dom0/hwdom DT when "scmi-smc-passthrough" cmdline parameter was provided.

The Xen platform PCI device (vendor ID 0x5853) exposed to x86 HVM guests
doesn't have the functionality of a traditional PCI device. The exposed
MMIO BAR is used by some guests (including Linux) as a safe place to map
foreign memory, including the grant table itself.
Traditionally BARs from devices have the uncacheable (UC) cache attribute
from the MTRR, to ensure correct functionality of such devices. hvmloader
mimics this behavior and sets the MTRR attributes of both the low and high
PCI MMIO windows (where BARs of PCI devices reside) as UC in MTRR.
This however causes performance issues for users of the Xen platform PCI
device BAR, as for the purposes of mapping remote memory there's no need to
use the UC attribute. On Intel systems this is worked around by using
iPAT, that allows the hypervisor to force the effective cache attribute of
a p2m entry regardless of the guest PAT value. AMD however doesn't have an
equivalent of iPAT, and guest PAT values are always considered.
Linux commit:
41925b105e34 xen: replace xen_remap() with memremap()
Attempted to mitigate this by forcing mappings of the grant-table to use
the write-back (WB) cache attribute. However Linux memremap() takes MTRRs
into account to calculate which PAT type to use, and seeing the MTRR cache
attribute for the region being UC the PAT also ends up as UC, regardless of
the caller having requested WB.
As a workaround to allow current Linux to map the grant-table as WB using
memremap() introduce an xl.cfg option (xen_platform_pci_bar_uc=0) that can
be used to select whether the Xen platform PCI device BAR will have the UC
attribute in MTRR. Such workaround in hvmloader should also be paired with
a fix for Linux so it attempts to change the MTRR of the Xen platform PCI
device BAR to WB by itself.
Overall, the long term solution would be to provide the guest with a safe
range in the guest physical address space where mappings to foreign pages
can be created.

The HVM pirq feature allows routing interrupts from both physical and emulated
devices over event channels, this was done a performance improvement. However
its usage is fully undocumented, and the only reference implementation is in
Linux. It defeats the purpose of local APIC hardware virtualization, because
when using it interrupts avoid the usage of the local APIC altogether.
It has also been reported to not work properly with certain devices, at least
when using some AMD GPUs Linux attempts to route interrupts over event
channels, but Xen doesn't correctly detect such routing, which leads to the
hypervisor complaining with:
(XEN) d15v0: Unsupported MSI delivery mode 7 for Dom15
When MSIs are attempted to be routed over event channels the entry delivery
mode is set to ExtINT, but Xen doesn't detect such routing and attempts to
inject the interrupt following the native MSI path, and the ExtINT delivery
mode is not supported.
Disable HVM PIRQs by default and provide a per-domain option in xl.cfg to
enable such feature. Also for backwards compatibility keep the feature enabled
for any resumed domains that don't have an explicit selection.
Note that the only user of the feature (Linux) is also able to handle native
interrupts fine, as the feature was already not used if Xen reported local APIC
hardware virtualization active.

Today split_string_into_pair() will not really do what its name is

This is never what the callers want, so modify split_string_into_pair()
to split the string only at the first delimiter found, resulting in
something like "x=a=b" to be split into "x" and "a=b" when being called
with "=" as the delimiter. Today the returned strings would be "x" and
"a".
At the same time switch the delimiter from "const char *" (allowing

A per-domain option is added to xl in order to select the usage of
x{2}APIC hardware assisted virtualization, as well as a global

Having all APIC interaction exit to Xen for emulation is slow and can

APIC access and providing a VM exit with a more specific exit reason
than a regular EPT fault or by altogether avoiding a VM exit.
On the other hand, being able to disable x{2}APIC hardware assisted
virtualization can be useful for testing and debugging purposes.
Note:
- vmx_install_vlapic_mapping doesn't require modifications regardless
of whether the guest has "Virtualize APIC accesses" enabled or not,
i.e., setting the APIC_ACCESS_ADDR VMCS field is fine so long as
virtualize_apic_accesses is supported by the CPU.
- Both per-domain and global assisted_x{2}apic options are not part of

Introduce an option to allow selecting a behavior similar to the pre
Xen 4.15 one for accesses to MSRs not explicitly handled. Since commit
84e848fd7a and 322ec7c89f accesses to MSRs not explicitly
handled by Xen result in the injection of a #GP to the guest. This
is a behavior change since previously a #GP was only injected if
accessing the MSR on the real hardware would also trigger a #GP, or if
the attempted to be set bits wouldn't match the hardware values (for
PV). The reasons for not leaking hardware MSR values and injecting a
#GP are fully valid, so the solution proposed here should be
considered a temporary workaround until all the required MSRs are
properly handled.
This seems to be problematic for some guests, so introduce an option
to fallback to this kind of legacy behavior without leaking the
underlying MSR values to the guest.
When the option is set, for both PV and HVM don't inject a #GP to the
guest on MSR read if reading the underlying MSR doesn't result in a
#GP, do the same for writes and simply discard the value to be written
on that case.
Note that for guests restored or migrated from previous Xen versions
the option is enabled by default, in order to keep a compatible
MSR behavior. Such compatibility is done at the libxl layer, to avoid

and 'vslot' as non-positional paramaters, as per the documentation in
xl-pci-configuration(5).
The existing xlu_pci_parse_bdf() function remains, but now strictly parses
BDF values. Some existing callers of xlu_pci_parse_bdf() are
modified to call xlu_pci_parse_spec_string() as per the documentation in xl(1).
NOTE: Usage text in xl_cmdtable.c and error messages are also modified
appropriately.
As a side-effect this patch also fixes a bug where using '*' to specify
all functions would lead to an assertion failure at the end of
xlu_pci_parse_bdf().

This patch reverts eight patches from staging.
The offending patch is the one that introduced libxl_pci_bdf (last one

To improve naming consistency, replaces occurrences of 'pcidev' with 'pci'.
The only remaining use of the term should be in relation to
'libxl_domain_config' where there are fields named 'pcidevs' and 'num_pcidevs'.
Purely cosmetic. No functional change.

... and, if it is not created, make the top level 'device' node in
xenstore writable by the guest instead.
The purpose and semantics of the suspend event channel node are explained
in xenstore-paths.pandoc [1]. It was originally introduced in xend by
commit 17636f47a4 "Teach xc_save to use event-channel-based domain
suspend if available.". Note that, because, the top-level frontend
'device' node was created writable by the guest in xend, there was no
need to explicitly create the 'suspend-event-channel' node as a writable
node.
However, libxl creates the 'device' node as read-only by the guest and so
explicit creation of the 'suspend-event-channel' node is necessary to make
it usable. This unfortunately has the side-effect of making some old
Windows PV drivers [2] cease to function. This is because they scan the top
level 'device' node, find the 'suspend' node and expect it to contain the
usual sub-nodes describing a PV frontend. When this is found not to be the
case, enumeration ceases and (because the 'suspend' node is observed before
the 'vbd' node) no system disk is enumerated. Windows will then crash with
bugcheck code 0x7B (missing system disk).
This patch adds a boolean 'xend_suspend_evtchn_compat' field into
libxl_create_info and a similarly named option in xl.cfg to set it.
If the value is true then the xenstore node is not created. Instead the
old xend behaviour of making top level device node writable by the guest is
re-instated. If the value is false (the default) then the current libxl
behaviour persists.
xenstore-paths.pandoc is also modified to say that the suspend event
channel node may not exist and, if it does not exist, then the guest may
create it. A note is also added concerning the writability of the top
level device node.

Xen used to have single, system-wide limits for the number of grant
frames and maptrack frames a guest was allowed to create. Increasing
or decreasing this single limit on the Xen command-line would change
the limit for all guests on the system.
Later, per-domain limits for these values was created. The system-wide
limits became strict limits: domains could not be created with higher
limits, but could be created with lower limits. However, that change
also introduced a range of different "default" values into various
places in the toolstack:
- The python libxc bindings hard-coded these values to 32 and 1024,
respectively
- The libxl default values are 32 and 1024 respectively.
- xl will use the libxl default for maptrack, but does its own default
calculation for grant frames: either 32 or 64, based on the max
possible mfn.
These defaults interact poorly with the hypervisor command-line limit:
- The hypervisor command-line limit cannot be used to raise the limit
for all guests anymore, as the default in the toolstack will
effectively override this.
- If you use the hypervisor command-line limit to *reduce* the limit,
then the "default" values generated by the toolstack are too high,
and all guest creations will fail.
In other words, the toolstack defaults require any change to be
effected by having the admin explicitly specify a new value in every
guest.
In order to address this, have grant_table_init treat negative values
for max_grant_frames and max_maptrack_frames as instructions to use the
system-wide default, and have all the above toolstacks default to passing
-1 unless a different value is explicitly configured.
This restores the old behavior in that changing the hypervisor command-line
option can change the behavior for all guests, while retaining the ability
to set per-guest values. It also removes the bug that reducing the
system-wide max will cause all domains without explicit limits to fail.
NOTE: - The Ocaml bindings require the caller to always specify a value,
and the code to start a xenstored stubdomain hard-codes these to 4
and 128 respectively; this behavour will not be modified.

LIBXL_PASSTHROUGH_UNKNOWN (aka "ENABLED" in an earlier uncommitted
version of this code) is doing double duty. We actually need all of
the following to be specifiable:
* "default": enable PT iff we have devices to
pass through specified in the initial config file.
* "enabled" (and fail if the platform doesn't support it).
* "disabled" (and reject future PT hotplug).
* "share_pt"/"sync_pt": enable PT and set a specific PT mode.
Defaulting and error checking should be done in libxl. So, we make
several changes here.
We introduce "enabled", and rename "unknown" to "default".
We move all of the error checking and defaulting code from xl into
libxl. Now, libxl__domain_config_setdefault has all of the necessary
information to get this right. So we can do it all there. Choosing
the specific mode is arch-specific.
We can also arrange to have only one place each which calculates
(i) whether passthrough needs to be enabled because pt devices were
specified (ii) whether pt_share can be used (for each arch).
xl now only has to parse the enum in the same way as it parses all
other enums.
This change fixes a regression from earlier 4.13-pre: until recent
changes, passthrough was only enabled by default if passthrough
devices were specified. We restore this behaviour.

Defaulting is supposed to be done by libxl. So these calculations
should be here in libxl. libxl__domain_config_setdefault has all the
necessary information including the values of max_memkb and max_vcpus.
The overall functional effect depends on the caller:
For xl, no change. The code moves from xl to libxl.
For callers who set one or both shadow_memkb and iommu_memkb (whether
from libxl_get_required_shadow_memory or otherwise) before calling
libxl_domain_need_memory (any version): the new code will leave their
setting(s) unchanged.
For callers who do not call libxl_domain_need_memory at all, and who
fail to set one of these memory values: now they are both are properly
set. The shadow and iommu memory to be properly accounted for as
intended.
For callers which call libxl_domain_need_memory and request the
current API (4.13) or which track libxl, the default values are also
now right and everything works as intended.
For callers which call libxl_domain_need_memory, and request an old
pre-4.13 libxl API, and which leave one of these memkb settings unset,
we take special measures to preserve the old behaviour.
This means that they don't get the additional iommu memory and are at
risk of the domain running out of memory as a result of f89f555827
"remove late (on-demand) construction of IOMMU page tables". But this
is no worse than the state just after f89f555827, which already
broke such callers in that way. This is perhaps justifiable because
of the API stability warning next to libxl_domain_need_memory.
An alternative would be to drop the special-casing of these callers.
That would cause a discrepancy between libxl_domain_need_memory and
libxl_domain_create: the former would not include the iommu memory and
the latter would. That seems worse, but it's debateable.

This is mostly a cosmetic patch to avoid the default enumeration value
being 'enabled'. The only non-cosmetic parts are in xl_parse.c where it now
becomes necessary to explicitly parse the 'enabled' value for xl.cfg
'passthrough' option, and error on the value 'unknown', because there is no
longer a direct mapping between valid xl.cfg values and the enumeration.
