In an entirely different context I came across Linux commit 428e3d08574b
("KVM: x86: Fix zero iterations REP-string"), which points out that
we're still doing things wrong: For one, there's no zero-extension at
all on AMD. And then while RCX is zero-extended from 32 bits uniformly
for all string instructions on newer hardware, RSI/RDI are only for MOVS
and STOS on the systems I have access to. (On an old family 0xf system
I've further found that for REP LODS even RCX is not zero-extended.)
While touching the lines anyway, replace two casts in get_rep_prefix().

All hardware with VT-d/AMD-Vi has CMPXCHG16B support. Check this at
initialisation time, and otherwise refuse to use the IOMMU.
If the local APICs support x2APIC mode the IOMMU support for interrupt
remapping will be checked earlier using a specific helper. If no support
for CX16 is detected by that earlier hook disable the IOMMU at that point
and prevent further poking for CX16 later in the boot process, which would
also fail.
There's a possible corner case when running virtualized, and the underlying
hypervisor exposing an IOMMU but no CMPXCHG16B support. In which case
ignoring the IOMMU is fine, albeit the most natural would be for the
underlying hypervisor to also expose CMPXCHG16B support if an IOMMU is
available to the VM.
Note this change only introduces the checks, but doesn't remove the now
stale checks for CX16 support sprinkled in the IOMMU code. Further changes
will take care of that.

The MMIO cache is intended to have one entry used per independent memory
access that an insn does. This, in particular, is supposed to be
ignoring any page boundary crossing. Therefore when looking up a cache
entry, the access'es starting (linear) address is relevant, not the one
possibly advanced past a page boundary.
In order for the same offset-into-buffer variable to be usable in
hvmemul_phys_mmio_access() for both the caller's buffer and the cache
entry's it is further necessary to have the un-adjusted caller buffer
passed into there.

There is a possible race scenario between set_global_virq_handler()
and clear_global_virq_handlers() targeting the same domain, which
might result in that domain ending as a zombie domain.
In case set_global_virq_handler() is being called for a domain which
is just dying, it might happen that clear_global_virq_handlers() is
running first, resulting in set_global_virq_handler() taking a new
reference for that domain and entering in the global_virq_handlers[]
array afterwards. The reference will never be dropped, thus the domain
will never be freed completely.
This can be fixed by checking the is_dying state of the domain inside
the region guarded by global_virq_handlers_lock. In case the domain is
dying, handle it as if the domain wouldn't exist, which will be the
case in near future anyway.

AMD have always used the architectural MSRs for LER. As the first processor
to support LER was the K7 (which was 32bit), we can assume it's presence
unconditionally in 64bit mode.
Intel are about to run out of space in Family 6 and start using 19. It is
only the Pentium 4 which uses non-architectural LER MSRs.
percpu_traps_init(), which runs on every CPU, contains a lot of code which
should be init-only, and is the only reason why opt_ler can't be in initdata.
Write a brand new init_ler() which expects all future Intel and AMD CPUs to
continue using the architectural MSRs, and does all setup together. Call it
from trap_init(), and remove the setup logic percpu_traps_init() except for
the single path configuring MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR.
Leave behind a warning if the user asked for LER and Xen couldn't enable it.

AMD have updated the SRSO whitepaper[1] with further information. These
features exist on AMD Zen5 CPUs and are necessary for Xen to use.
The two features are in principle unrelated:
* SRSO_U/S_NO is an enumeration saying that SRSO attacks can't cross the
User(CPL3) / Supervisor(CPL<3) boundary. i.e. Xen don't need to use
IBPB-on-entry for PV64. PV32 guests are explicitly unsupported for
speculative issues, and excluded from consideration for simplicity.
* SRSO_MSR_FIX is an enumeration identifying that the BP_SPEC_REDUCE bit is
available in MSR_BP_CFG. When set, SRSO attacks can't cross the host/guest
boundary. i.e. Xen don't need to use IBPB-on-entry for HVM.
Extend ibpb_calculations() to account for these when calculating
opt_ibpb_entry_{pv,hvm} defaults. Add a `bp-spec-reduce=<bool>` option to
control the use of BP_SPEC_REDUCE, with it active by default.
Because MSR_BP_CFG is core-scoped with a race condition updating it, repurpose
amd_check_erratum_1485() into amd_check_bp_cfg() and calculate all updates at
once.
Xen also needs to to advertise SRSO_U/S_NO to guests to allow the guest kernel
to skip SRSO mitigations too:
* This is trivial for HVM guests. It is also is accurate for PV32 guests
too, but we have already excluded them from consideration, and do so again
here to simplify the policy logic.
* As written, SRSO_U/S_NO does not help for the PV64 user->kernel boundary.
However, after discussing with AMD, an implementation detail of having
BP_SPEC_REDUCE active causes the PV64 user->kernel boundary to have the
property described by SRSO_U/S_NO, so we can advertise SRSO_U/S_NO to
guests when the BP_SPEC_REDUCE precondition is met.
Finally, fix a typo in the SRSO_NO's comment.

xc_cpuid_apply_policy() provides compatibility for migration of a pre-4.14 VM
where no CPUID data was provided in the stream.
It guesses the various max-leaf limits, based on what was true at the time of

forced the advertisement of new feature bits. Of note are:
* LFENCE-DISPATCH, in leaf 0x80000021.eax
* BHI-CTRL, in leaf 0x7[2].edx
In both cases, a VM booted on a security-patched Xen 4.13, and then migrated
on to any newer version of Xen on the same or compatible hardware would have
these features stripped back because Xen is still editing the cpu-policy for
sanity behind the back of the toolstack.

While result values and other status flags are unaffected as long as we
can ignore the case of registers having their upper 32 bits non-zero
outside of 64-bit mode, EFLAGS.SF may obtain a wrong value when we
mistakenly re-execute the original insn with VEX.W set.
Note that guest the memory access, if any, is correctly carried out as
32-bit regardless of VEX.W. The emulator-local memory operand will be
accessed as a 64-bit quantity, but it is pre-initialised to zero so no
internal state can leak.

We already have one migration case opencoded (feat.max_subleaf). A more
recent discovery is that we advertise x2APIC to guests without ensuring that
we provide max_leaf >= 0xb.
In general, any leaf known to Xen can be safely configured by the toolstack if
it doesn't violate other constraints.
Therefore, introduce guest_common_{max,default}_leaves() to generalise the
special case we currently have for feat.max_subleaf, in preparation to be able
to provide x2APIC topology in leaf 0xb even on older hardware.

alternatives is used both at boot time, and when loading livepatch payloads.
While for the former it makes sense to panic, it's not useful for the later, as
for livepatches it's possible to fail to load the livepatch if alternatives
cannot be resolved and continue operating normally.
Relax the BUGs in _apply_alternatives() to instead return an error code. The
caller will figure out whether the failures are fatal and panic.
Print an error message to provide some user-readable information about what
went wrong.

The check against the expected Xen build ID should be done ahead of attempting
to apply the alternatives contained in the livepatch.
If the CPUID in the alternatives patching data is out of the scope of the
running Xen featureset the BUG() in _apply_alternatives() will trigger thus
bringing the system down. Note the layout of struct alt_instr could also
change between versions. It's also possible for struct exception_table_entry
to have changed format, hence leading to other kind of errors if parsing of the
payload is done ahead of checking if the Xen build-id matches.
Move the Xen build ID check as early as possible. To do so introduce a new
check_xen_buildid() function that parses and checks the Xen build-id before
moving the payload. Since the expected Xen build-id is used early to
detect whether the livepatch payload could be loaded, there's no reason to
store it in the payload struct, as a non-matching Xen build-id won't get the
payload populated in the first place.
Note printing the expected Xen build ID has part of dumping the payload
information is no longer done: all loaded payloads would have Xen build IDs
matching the running Xen, otherwise they would have failed to load.

The following sections: .note.gnu.build-id, .livepatch.xen_depends and
.livepatch.depends are mandatory and ensured to be present by
check_special_sections() before prepare_payload() is called.
Simplify the logic in prepare_payload() by introducing a generic function to

The Elf loading logic will initially use the `data` section field to stash a
pointer to the temporary loaded data (from the buffer allocated in
livepatch_upload(), which is later relocated and the new pointer stashed in
`load_addr`.
Remove this dual field usage and use an `addr` uniformly. Initially data will
point to the temporary buffer, until relocation happens, at which point the
pointer will be updated to the relocated address.
This avoids leaving a dangling pointer in the `data` field once the temporary
buffer is freed by livepatch_upload().
Note the `addr` field cannot retain the const attribute from the previous
`data`field, as there's logic that performs manipulations against the loaded
sections, like applying relocations or sorting the exception table.
No functional change intended.

Right now, Xen clobbers the value at 0xffc when performing it's load-base
calculation. We've got plenty of free registers at this point, so the value
can be preserved easily.
This fixes a real bug booting under Coreboot+SeaBIOS, where 0xffc happens to
be the cbmem pointer (e.g. Coreboot's dmesg ring, among other things).
However, there's also a better choice of memory location to use than 0xffc, as
all our supported boot protocols have a pointer to an info structure in %ebx.
Update the documentation to match.

The current logic to chose the preferred reboot method is based on the mode Xen
has been booted into, so if the box is booted from UEFI, the preferred reboot
method will be to use the ResetSystem() run time service call.
However, that method seems to be widely untested, and quite often leads to a
result similar to:

Which in most cases does lead to a reboot, however that's unreliable.
Change the default reboot preference to prefer ACPI over UEFI if available and
not in reduced hardware mode.
This is in line to what Linux does, so it's unlikely to cause issues on current
and future hardware, since there's a much higher chance of vendors testing
hardware with Linux rather than Xen.
Add a special case for one Acer model that does require being rebooted using
ResetSystem(). See Linux commit 0082517fa4bce for rationale.

It's sadically misleading to show an error without letters and expect
the dmesg reader to understand it's in hex. The patch adds a 0x prefix
to all hex numbers that don't already have it.
On the one instance in which a boolean is printed as an integer, print
it as a decimal integer instead so it's 0/1 in the common case and not
misleading if it's ever not just that due to a bug.
While at it, rename VIRIDIAN CRASH to VIRIDIAN GUEST_CRASH. Every member
of a support team that looks at the message systematically believes
"viridian" crashed, which is absolutely not what goes on. It's the guest
asking the hypervisor for a sudden shutdown because it crashed, and
stating why.

It's very rude for a library to play with signals behind the back of the
application, no matter ones views on the default behaviour of SIGPIPE under
POSIX. Even if the application doesn't care about the xenstored socket, it my
care about others.
This logic has existed since xenstore/xenstored was originally added in commit
29c9e570b1 ("Add xenstore daemon and library") in 2005.
It's also unnecessary. Pass MSG_NOSIGNAL when talking to xenstored over a
pipe (to avoid sucumbing to SIGPIPE if xenstored has crashed), and forgo any
playing with the signal disposition.
This has a side benefit of saving 2 syscalls per xenstore request.

With the input data now conveniently arranged, use writev()/sendmsg() instead
of decomposing it into write() calls.
This causes all requests to be submitted with a single system call, rather
than at least two. While in principle short writes can occur, the chances of
it happening are slim given that most xenbus comms are only a handful of
bytes.
Nevertheless, provide {writev,sendmsg}_exact() wrappers which take care of
resubmitting on EINTR or short write.

We would like to writev() the whole outgoing message, but this is hard given
the current need to prepend the locally-constructed xsd_sockmsg.
Instead, have the caller provide xsd_sockmsg in iovec[0]. This in turn drops
the 't' and 'type' parameters from xs_talkv().
Note that xs_talkv() may alter the iovec structure. This may happen when
writev() is really used under the covers, and it's preferable to having the
lower levels need to duplicate the iovec to edit it upon encountering a short
write. xs_directory_part() is the only function impacted by this, and it's
easy to rearrange to be compatible.
No functional change.
