The written ABI states that %es will be set up, but libxc doesn't do so. In
practice, it breaks `rep movs` inside guests before they reload %es.
The written ABI doesn't mention %ss, but libxc does set it up. Having %ds
different to %ss is obnoxous to work with, as different registers have

Modify the spec to state that %ss is set up as a flat read/write segment.
This a) matches the Multiboot 1 spec, b) matches what is set up in practice,

Due to AMD and Hygon being unable to selectively trap CR4 bit modifications
running 32-bit PV guest inside PV shim comes with significant performance
hit. Moreover, for SMEP in particular every time CR4.SMEP changes on context
switch to/from 32-bit PV guest, it gets trapped by L0 Xen which then
tries to perform global TLB invalidation for PV shim domain. This usually
results in eventual hang of a PV shim with at least several vCPUs.
Since the overall security risk is generally lower for shim Xen as it being
there more of a defense-in-depth mechanism, choose to disable SMEP/SMAP in
it by default on AMD and Hygon unless a user chose otherwise.

XSA-302 relies on the use of libxl's "assignable-add" feature to prepare
devices to be assigned to untrusted guests.
Unfortunately, this is not considered a strictly required step for
device assignment. The PCI passthrough documentation on the wiki
describes alternate ways of preparing devices for assignment, and
libvirt uses its own ways as well. Hosts where these alternate methods
are used will still leave the system in a vulnerable state after the
device comes back from a guest.
Default to always quarantining PCI devices, but provide a command line
option to revert back to prior behavior (such that people who both
sufficiently trust their guests and want to be able to use devices in
Dom0 again after they had been in use by a guest wouldn't need to
"manually" move such devices back from DomIO to Dom0).
This is XSA-306.

To protect against the TSX Async Abort speculative vulnerability, Intel have
released new microcode for affected parts which introduce the MSR_TSX_CTRL
control, which allows TSX to be turned off. This will be architectural on
future parts.
Introduce tsx= to provide a global on/off for TSX, including its enumeration
via CPUID. Provide stub virtualisation of this MSR, as it is not exposed to
guests at the moment.
VMs may have booted before microcode is loaded, or before hosts have rebooted,
and they still want to migrate freely. A VM which booted seeing TSX can
migrate safely to hosts with TSX disabled - TSX will start unconditionally
aborting, but still behave in a manner compatible with the ABI.
The guest-visible behaviour is equivalent to late loading the microcode and
setting the RTM_DISABLE bit in the course of live patching.

CVE-2018-12207 covers a set of errata on various Intel processors, whereby a
machine check exception can be generated in a corner case when an executable
mapping changes size or cacheability without TLB invalidation. HVM guest
kernels can trigger this to DoS the host.
To mitigate, in affected hardware, all EPT superpages are marked NX. When an
instruction fetch violation is observed against the superpage, the superpage
is shattered to 4k and has execute permissions restored. This prevents the
guest kernel from being able to create the necessary preconditions in the iTLB
to exploit the vulnerability.
This does come with a workload-dependent performance overhead, caused by
increased TLB pressure. Performance can be restored, if guest kernels are
trusted not to mount an attack, by specifying ept=exec-sp on the command line.

The Microarchitectural Data Sampling vulnerability is split into categories
with subtly different properties:
MLPDS - Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling
MSBDS - Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling
MFBDS - Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling
MDSUM - Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory
MDSUM is a special case of the other three, and isn't distinguished further.
These issues pertain to three microarchitectural buffers. The Load Ports, the
Store Buffers and the Fill Buffers. Each of these structures are flushed by
the new enhanced VERW functionality, but the conditions under which flushing
is necessary vary.
For this concise overview of the issues and default logic, the abbreviations
SP (Store Port), FB (Fill Buffer), LP (Load Port) and HT (Hyperthreading) are
used for brevity:
* Vulnerable hardware is divided into two categories - parts which suffer
from SP only, and parts with any other combination of vulnerabilities.
* SP only has an HT interaction when the thread goes idle, due to the static
partitioning of resources. LP and FB have HT interactions at all points,
due to the competitive sharing of resources. All issues potentially leak
data across the return-to-guest transition.
* The microcode which implements VERW flushing also extends MSR_FLUSH_CMD, so
we don't need to do both on the HVM return-to-guest path. However, some
parts are not vulnerable to L1TF (therefore have no MSR_FLUSH_CMD), but are
vulnerable to MDS, so do require VERW on the HVM path.
Note that we deliberately support mds=1 even without MD_CLEAR in case the
microcode has been updated but the feature bit not exposed.

It's unsafe to disable IOMMU on a live system which is the case
if we're crashing since remapping hardware doesn't usually know what
to do with ongoing bus transactions and frequently raises NMI/MCE/SMI,
etc. (depends on the firmware configuration) to signal these abnormalities.
This, in turn, doesn't play well with kexec transition process as there is
no handling available at the moment for this kind of events resulting
in failures to enter the kernel.
Modern Linux kernels taught to copy all the necessary DMAR/IR tables
following kexec from the previous kernel (Xen in our case) - so it's
currently normal to keep IOMMU enabled. It might require minor changes to
kdump command line that enables IOMMU drivers (e.g. intel_iommu=on /
intremap=on) but recent kernels don't require any additional changes for
the transition to be transparent.
A fallback option is still left for compatibility with ancient crash
kernels which didn't like to have IOMMU active under their feet on boot.

XSA-273 involves one hyperthread being able to use Spectre-like
techniques to "spy" on another thread. The details are somewhat
complicated, but the upshot is that after all Xen-based mitigations
have been applied:
* PV guests cannot spy on sibling threads
* HVM guests can spy on sibling threads
(NB that for purposes of this vulnerability, PVH and HVM guests are
identical. Whenever this comment refers to 'HVM', this includes PVH.)
There are many possible mitigations to this, including disabling
hyperthreading entirely. But another solution would be:
* Specify some cores as PV-only, others as PV or HVM
* Allow HVM guests to only run on thread 0 of the "HVM-or-PV" cores
* Allow PV guests to run on the above cores, as well as any thread of the PV-only cores.
For example, suppose you had 16 threads across 8 cores (0-7). You
could specify 0-3 as PV-only, and 4-7 as HVM-or-PV. Then you'd set
the affinity of the HVM guests as follows (binary representation):
0000000010101010
And the affinity of the PV guests as follows:
1111111110101010
In order to make this easy, this patches introduces three "global affinity
masks", placed in xl.conf:
vm.cpumask
vm.hvm.cpumask
vm.pv.cpumask
These are parsed just like the 'cpus' and 'cpus_soft' options in the
per-domain xl configuration files. The resulting mask is AND-ed with
whatever mask results at the end of the xl configuration file.
`vm.cpumask` would be applied to all guest types, `vm.hvm.cpumask`
would be applied to HVM and PVH guest types, and `vm.pv.cpumask`
would be applied to PV guest types.
The idea would be that to implement the above mask across all your
VMs, you'd simply add the following two lines to the configuration
file:
vm.hvm.cpumask=8,10,12,14
vm.pv.cpumask=0-8,10,12,14

In hindsight, the options for `bti=` aren't as flexible or useful as expected
(including several options which don't appear to behave as intended).
Changing the behaviour of an existing option is problematic for compatibility,
so introduce a new `spec-ctrl=` in the hopes that we can do better.
One common way of deploying Xen is with a single PV dom0 and all domUs being
HVM domains. In such a setup, an administrator who has weighed up the risks
may wish to forgo protection against malicious PV domains, to reduce the
overall performance hit. To cater for this usecase, `spec-ctrl=no-pv` will
disable all speculative protection for PV domains, while leaving all
speculative protection for HVM domains intact.
For coding clarity as much as anything else, the suboptions are grouped by
logical area; those which affect the alternatives blocks, and those which
affect Xen's in-hypervisor settings. See the xen-command-line.markdown for
full details of the new options.
While changing the command line options, take the time to change how the data
is reported to the user. The three DEBUG printks are upgraded to unilateral,
as they are all relevant pieces of information, and the old "mitigations:"
line is split in the two logical areas described above.
Sample output from booting with `spec-ctrl=no-pv` looks like:

Avoid flushing the complete TLB when switching %cr3 for mitigation of

We are using 4 PCID values for a 64 bit pv domain subject to XPTI and
2 values for the non-XPTI case:
- guest active and in kernel mode
- guest active and in user mode
- hypervisor active and guest in user mode (XPTI only)
- hypervisor active and guest in kernel mode (XPTI only)
We use PCID only if PCID _and_ INVPCID are supported. With PCID in use
we disable global pages in cr4. A command line parameter controls in
which cases PCID is being used.
As the non-XPTI case has shown not to perform better with PCID at least
on some machines the default is to use PCID only for domains subject to
XPTI.
With PCID enabled we always disable global pages. This avoids having to
either flush the complete TLB or do a cycle through all PCID values
when invalidating a single global page.
