Cortex-A77 cores (r0p0, r1p0) could deadlock on a sequence of a
store-exclusive or read of PAR_EL1 and a load with device or non-cacheable
memory attributes.
A workaround is available, but it depends on a firmware counterpart.
The proposed workaround from the errata document is to modify the software
running at EL1 and above to include a DMB SY before and after accessing
PAR_EL1.
In conjunction to the above, the firmware needs to use a specific write
sequence to several IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED registers to have the hardware
insert a DMB SY after all load-exclusive and store-exclusive instructions.
Apply the workaround to Xen where PAR_EL1 is read, implementing an helper
function to do that.
Since Xen can be interrupted by irqs in any moment, add a barrier on
entry/exit when we are running on the affected cores.
A guest without the workaround can deadlock the system, so warn the users
of Xen with the above type of cores to use only trusted guests, by
printing a message on Xen startup.

This commit sets/tearsdown of p2m pages pool for non-privileged Arm
guests by calling `p2m_set_allocation` and `p2m_teardown_allocation`.
- For dom0, P2M pages should come from heap directly instead of p2m
pool, so that the kernel may take advantage of the extended regions.
- For xl guests, the setting of the p2m pool is called in
`XEN_DOMCTL_shadow_op` and the p2m pool is destroyed in
`domain_relinquish_resources`. Note that domctl->u.shadow_op.mb is
updated with the new size when setting the p2m pool.
- For dom0less domUs, the setting of the p2m pool is called before
allocating memory during domain creation. Users can specify the p2m
pool size by `xen,domain-p2m-mem-mb` dts property.
To actually allocate/free pages from the p2m pool, this commit adds
two helper functions namely `p2m_alloc_page` and `p2m_free_page` to
`struct p2m_domain`. By replacing the `alloc_domheap_page` and
`free_domheap_page` with these two helper functions, p2m pages can
be added/removed from the list of p2m pool rather than from the heap.
Since page from `p2m_alloc_page` is cleaned, take the opportunity
to remove the redundant `clean_page` in `p2m_create_table`.

Branch Type Confusion affects AMD/Hygon CPUs on Zen2 and earlier. To
mitigate, we require SMT safety (STIBP on Zen2, no-SMT on Zen1), and to issue
an IBPB on each entry to Xen, to flush the BTB.
Due to performance concerns, dom0 (which is trusted in most configurations) is
excluded from protections by default.
Therefore:
* Use STIBP by default on Zen2 too, which now means we want it on by default
on all hardware supporting STIBP.
* Break the current IBPB logic out into a new function, extending it with
IBPB-at-entry logic.
* Change the existing IBPB-at-ctxt-switch boolean to be tristate, and disable
it by default when IBPB-at-entry is providing sufficient safety.
If all PV guests on the system are trusted, then it is recommended to boot
with `spec-ctrl=ibpb-entry=no-pv`, as this will provide an additional marginal
perf improvement.

Rearrange the IBPB text/variables/logic to keep all the MSR_SPEC_CTRL bits

However, AMD have a hardware hint CPUID bit recommending that STIBP be set

Furthermore, in such cases, set STIBP behind the guest's back for now. This

Per Xen's support statement, PCI passthrough should be to trusted domains
because the overall system security depends on factors outside of Xen's
control.
As such, Xen, in a supported configuration, is not vulnerable to DRPW/SBDR.
However, users who have risk assessed their configuration may be happy with
the risk of DoS, but unhappy with the risk of cross-domain data leakage. Such
users should enable this option.
On CPUs vulnerable to MDS, the existing mitigations are the best we can do to
mitigate MMIO cross-domain data leakage.
On CPUs fixed to MDS but vulnerable MMIO stale data leakage, this option:
* On CPUs susceptible to FBSDP, mitigates cross-domain fill buffer leakage
using FB_CLEAR.
* On CPUs susceptible to SBDR, mitigates RNG data recovery by engaging the
srb-lock, previously used to mitigate SRBDS.
Both mitigations require microcode from IPU 2022.1, May 2022.

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
higher-level toolstacks from having to know the details about this flag.

Depending on the type of crash the desired data might be different, so

The parameter is "crash-debug" with the following syntax:
crash-debug-<type>=<string>
with <type> being one of:
panic, hwdom, watchdog, kexeccmd, debugkey

CNTPCT, so a possible workaround is that performing the read twice,
and to return one or the other depending on whether a transition has
taken place.

This patch adds support for bundling the xen.efi hypervisor, the xen.cfg
configuration file, the Linux kernel and initrd, as well as the XSM,
and architectural specific files into a single "unified" EFI executable.
This allows an administrator to update the components independently
without requiring rebuilding xen, as well as to replace the components
in an existing image.
The resulting EFI executable can be invoked directly from the UEFI Boot
Manager, removing the need to use a separate loader like grub as well
as removing dependencies on local filesystem access. And since it is
a single file, it can be signed and validated by UEFI Secure Boot without
requring the shim protocol.
It is inspired by systemd-boot's unified kernel technique and borrows the
function to locate PE sections from systemd's LGPL'ed code. During EFI
boot, Xen looks at its own loaded image to locate the PE sections for
the Xen configuration (`.config`), dom0 kernel (`.kernel`), dom0 initrd
(`.ramdisk`), and XSM config (`.xsm`), which are included after building
xen.efi using objcopy to add named sections for each input file.
For x86, the CPU ucode can be included in a section named `.ucode`,
which is loaded in the efi_arch_cfg_file_late() stage of the boot process.
On ARM systems the Device Tree can be included in a section named
`.dtb`, which is loaded during the efi_arch_cfg_file_early() stage of
the boot process.
Note that the system will fall back to loading files from disk if
the named sections do not exist. This allows distributions to continue
with the status quo if they want a signed kernel + config, while still
allowing a user provided initrd (which is how the shim protocol currently
works as well).
This patch also adds constness to the section parameter of
efi_arch_cfg_file_early() and efi_arch_cfg_file_late(),
changes pe_find_section() to use a const CHAR16 section name,
and adds pe_name_compare() to match section names.

There is currently no documentation to state what MTU a frontend should
adertise to its network stack. It has however long been assumed that the
default value of 1500 is correct.
This patch specifies a mechanism to allow the tools to set the MTU via a
xenstore node in the frontend area and states that the absence of that node
means the frontend should assume an MTU of 1500 octets.
NOTE: The Windows PV frontend has used an MTU sampled from the xenstore
node specified in this patch.

The specification of pvcalls suggests there is padding for 32-bit x86 at
the end of most the structure. However, they are not described in in the
public header.
Because of that all the structures would have a different size between
32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86.
For all the other architectures supported (Arm and 64-bit x86), the
structure have the sames sizes because they contain implicit padding
thanks to the 64-bit alignment of the field uint64_t field.
Given the specification is authoritative, the padding will now be the
same for all architectures. The potential breakage of compatibility is
ought to be fine as pvcalls is still a tech preview.

Adjust the default feature derivation to hide RDRAND on IvyBridge client
parts, unless `cpuid=rdrand` is explicitly provided.
Adjust the restore path in xc_cpuid_apply_policy() to not hide RDRAND from VMs

In all cases, individual guests can continue using RDRAND if explicitly
