add check logic when read from IO ring, and if error happens,
then mark the reading connection as "bad", Unless vm reboot,
oxenstored will not handle message from this connection any more.
xs_ring_stubs.c: add a more strict check on ring reading
connection.ml, domain.ml: add getter and setter for bad flag
process.ml: if exception raised when reading from domain's ring,
mark this domain as "bad"
xenstored.ml: if a domain is marked as "bad", do not handle it.

Change 26521:2c0fd406f02c (part of XSA-38 / CVE-2013-0215) incorrectly
caused us to ignore rather than process a completely full ring. Check if
producer and consumer are equal before masking to avoid this, since prod ==
cons + PAGE_SIZE after masking becomes prod == cons.

The maximum size of a message is part of the protocol spec in
xen/include/public/io/xs_wire.h
Before this patch a client which sends an overly large message can
cause a buffer read overrun.
Note if a badly-behaved client sends a very large message
then it will be difficult for them to make their connection
work again-- they will probably need to reboot.

oxenstored makes use of the OCaml Xenbus bindings, in which the
function xs_ring_read in tools/ocaml/libs/xb/xs_ring_stubs.c is used
to read from the shared memory Xenstore ring.
This function does not correctly handle all possible (prod, cons)
states when MASK_XENSTORE_IDX(prod) > MASK_XENSTORE_IDX(cons).
The root cause is the use of the unmasked values of prod and cons to
calculate to_read. If prod is set to an out-of-range value, the ring
peer can cause to_read to be too large or even negative. This allows
the ring peer to force oxenstored to read and write out of range for
the buffers leading to a crash or possibly to privilege escalation.
Correct this by masking the values of cons and prod at the start, so
we only deal with masked values. This makes the logic simpler, as
semantically inappropriate values of the upper bits of the ring
pointers are simply ignored.
The same vulnerability does not exist in the ring writer because the
only use made of the unmasked value is the check which prevents the
prod pointer overtaking the cons pointer. A ring peer which defeats
this check will suffer only lost data.
However, additionally, precautions need to be taken to ensure that
req_cons and req_prod are only read once in each function. Without
the use of volatile or some asm construct, the compiler can "prove"
that req_cons and req_prod do not change unexpectedly and is permitted
to "amplify" the read of (say) req_cons into two reads at different
times, giving two different values for use as cons, and then use the
two sources of cons interchangeably. (The use of xen_mb() does not
forbid this.)
Therefore do the reads of req_cons and req_prod through a volatile
pointer in both xs_ring_read and xs_ring_write.
This is currently believed to be a theoretical vulnerability as we are
not aware of any compilers which amplify reads in this way.
This is a security issue, part of XSA-38 / CVE-2013-0215.

configure checks just for ocamlc, but the tools in tools/ocaml depend
also on ocamlfind. On my workstation I have just ocamlc installed, but
no ocamlfind. As a result make will fail.
Update configure.ac to check also for OCAMLFIND, update various
Makefiles and replace hardcoded ocamlfind string with $(OCAMLFIND)
Please rerun autogen.sh after applying this patch.

Previous an unknown operation would be decoded as a Not_found exception which
would bubble all the way up to the try ... with surrounding the call to
main_loop where it would be logged and ignored.
This would leave the guest hanging waiting for a response to the invalid
request.
Instead introduce a specific "Invalid" operation. Higher level functionality,
such as Process.process_packet, already handles operations which are not
understood with an error reply due to the final wildcard entry in
Process.function_of_type but explicitly handle Invalid this way to make it
clear what is going on.

ocamlfind does not support namespaces, so to avoid
name clashes the module names have become longer.
Additionally, the xenstore and xenbus subdirs, which
contain several modules each, have been packed into
toplevel Xenstore and Xenbus modules.
xb becomes xenbus, xc becomes xenctrl, xl becomes xenlight,
xs becomes xenstore, eventchn becomes xeneventchn and
mmap becomes xenmmap.

cope with intervening changes to mmap_stubs.c -iwj ]

Otherwise make can search the path relative to certain standard paths
such as /usr/include (e.g., the line '-include $(XEN_ROOT)/.config' in
Config.mk suffers from this).

Previously the install target was having no effect because it ended up
calling the default target in the subdir Makefile instead of the
install target.
Resolve this by tying the tools/ocaml Makefiles into the generic
handling done by tools/Rules.mk.
Other changes arising in one way or another from this:
- Add libs/xl/META.in
- Update .hgignore for META files
- Create leading directories
- Remove existing module before installation in install targer
(worksaround what appears to be a quirk of "ocamlfind install")
- Use the globally defined $(DESTDIR)
- Move "ocamlfind printfconf destdir" to a common variable,
repurposing exising unused OCAMLDESTDIR, incorporating $(DESTDIR) at
the same time.
- Drop a few unused variabe definitions (mainly to avoid deciding if
$(DESTDIR) made sense for them or not.
- Pass -destdir to ocamlfind in uninstall target for symmetry with
install target.

The OCaml xenstored supports the XS_RESTRICT operation, which
deprivileges a dom0 xenstore connection so it can only affect one
domain's entries. Add the relevant definitions to the C libraries
so that callers can use it.
