Insert a block dependency from the ARCH_CAPS CPUID bit to the entire content

bulk-clear inaccessable words.
The overall CPUID bit is still max-only, so all of MSR_ARCH_CAPS is hidden in

- store the transaction specific node name in struct accessed_node in

finalizing the transaction
- don't stop the transaction finalization when hitting an error

- in case of a detected error do the accounting update as needed and
call the data base checking only after that

Having a file backed data base has the only advantage of being capable

It has the major disadvantage of a huge performance overhead: switching
to keep the data base in memory only speeds up live update of xenstored
with 120000 nodes from 20 minutes to 11 seconds. A complete tree walk
of this configuration will be reduced from 7 seconds to 280 msecs

(cherry picked from commit 2a587de219)
Introduce a limit on the number of outstanding reply packets in the xenbus
queue. This limits the number of in-flight requests: when the output queue is
full we'll stop processing inputs until the output queue has room again.
To avoid a busy loop on the Unix socket we only add it to the watched input
file descriptor set if we'd be able to call `input` on it. Even though Dom0
is trusted and exempt from quotas a flood of events might cause a backlog
where events are produced faster than daemons in Dom0 can consume them, which
could lead to an unbounded queue size and OOM.
Therefore the xenbus queue limit must apply to all connections, Dom0 is not
exempt from it, although if everything works correctly it will eventually
catch up.
This prevents a malicious guest from sending more commands while it has
outstanding watch events or command replies in its input ring. However if it
can cause the generation of watch events by other means (e.g. by Dom0, or
another cooperative guest) and stop reading its own ring then watch events
would've queued up without limit.
The xenstore protocol doesn't have a back-pressure mechanism, and doesn't
allow dropping watch events. In fact, dropping watch events is known to break
some pieces of normal functionality. This leaves little choice to safely
implement the xenstore protocol without exposing the xenstore daemon to
out-of-memory attacks.
Implement the fix as pipes with bounded buffers:
* Use a bounded buffer for watch events
* The watch structure will have a bounded receiving pipe of watch events
* The source will have an "overflow" pipe of pending watch events it couldn't
deliver
Items are queued up on one end and are sent as far along the pipe as possible:
source domain -> watch -> xenbus of target -> xenstore ring/socket of target
If the pipe is "full" at any point then back-pressure is applied and we prevent
more items from being queued up. For the source domain this means that we'll
stop accepting new commands as long as its pipe buffer is not empty.
Before we try to enqueue an item we first check whether it is possible to send
it further down the pipe, by attempting to recursively flush the pipes. This
ensures that we retain the order of events as much as possible.
We might break causality of watch events if the target domain's queue is full
and we need to start using the watch's queue. This is a breaking change in
the xenstore protocol, but only for domains which are not processing their
incoming ring as expected.
When a watch is deleted its entire pending queue is dropped (no code is needed
for that, because it is part of the 'watch' type).
There is a cache of watches that have pending events that we attempt to flush
at every cycle if possible.
Introduce 3 limits here:
* quota-maxwatchevents on watch event destination: when this is hit the
source will not be allowed to queue up more watch events.
* quota-maxoustanding which is the number of responses not read from the ring:
once exceeded, no more inputs are processed until all outstanding replies
are consumed by the client.
* overflow queue on the watch event source: all watches that cannot be stored
on destination are queued up here, a single command can trigger multiple
watches (e.g. due to recursion).
The overflow queue currently doesn't have an upper bound, it is difficult to
accurately calculate one as it depends on whether you are Dom0 and how many
watches each path has registered and how many watch events you can trigger
with a single command (e.g. a commit). However these events were already
using memory, this just moves them elsewhere, and as long as we correctly
block a domain it shouldn't result in unbounded memory usage.
Note that Dom0 is not excluded from these checks, it is important that Dom0 is
especially not excluded when it is the source, since there are many ways in
which a guest could trigger Dom0 to send it watch events.
This should protect against malicious frontends as long as the backend follows
the PV xenstore protocol and only exposes paths needed by the frontend, and
changes those paths at most once as a reaction to guest events, or protocol
state.
The queue limits are per watch, and per domain-pair, so even if one
communication channel would be "blocked", others would keep working, and the
domain itself won't get blocked as long as it doesn't overflow the queue of
watch events.
Similarly a malicious backend could cause the frontend to get blocked, but
this watch queue protects the frontend as well as long as it follows the PV
protocol. (Although note that protection against malicious backends is only a
best effort at the moment)

performing the transaction, and raise EQUOTA there. Then the transaction
record won't grow.

We currently have 2 different set of defaults in upstream Xen git tree:
* defined in the source code, only used if there is no config file
* defined in the oxenstored.conf.in upstream Xen
An oxenstored.conf file is not mandatory, and if missing, maxrequests in
particular has an unsafe default.
Resync the defaults from oxenstored.conf.in into the source code.

(cherry picked from commit 84734955d4)
Add a xenstore-control command "quota" to:
- show current quota settings
- change quota settings
- show current quota related values of a domain
Note that in the case the new quota is lower than existing one,
Xenstored may continue to handle requests from a domain exceeding the
new limit (depends on which one has been broken) and the amount of
resource used will not change. However the domain will not be able to
create more resource (associated to the quota) until it is back to below
the limit.

Add the memory accounting for Xenstore nodes. In order to make this
not too complicated allow for some sloppiness when writing nodes. Any
hard quota violation will result in no further requests to be accepted.

Add the memory accounting for registered watches.
When a socket connection is destroyed, the associated watches are
removed, too. In order to keep memory accounting correct the watches
must be removed explicitly via a call of conn_delete_all_watches() from
destroy_conn().

Add the memory accounting for queued responses.
In case adding a watch event for a guest is causing the hard memory
quota of that guest to be violated, the event is dropped. This will
ensure that it is impossible to drive another guest past its memory
quota by generating insane amounts of events for that guest. This is
especially important for protecting driver domains from that attack
vector.

The amount of memory a domain can consume in Xenstore is limited by
various quota today, but even with sane quota a domain can still
consume rather large memory quantities.
Add the infrastructure for keeping track of the amount of memory a
domain is consuming in Xenstore. Note that this is only the memory a
domain has direct control over, so any internal administration data
needed by Xenstore only is not being accounted for.
There are two quotas defined: a soft quota which will result in a
warning issued via syslog() when it is exceeded, and a hard quota
resulting in a stop of accepting further requests or watch events as
long as the hard quota would be violated by accepting those.
Setting any of those quotas to 0 will disable it.
As default values use 2MB per domain for the soft limit (this basically
covers the allowed case to create 1000 nodes needing 2kB each), and
2.5MB for the hard limit.

Setting up the basic structure when introducing dom0 has the advantage
to be able to add proper node memory accounting for the added nodes
later.
This makes it possible to do proper node accounting, too.
An additional requirement to make that work fine is to correct the
owner of the created nodes to be dom0_domid instead of domid 0.

(cherry picked from commit 60e2f6020d)
Today a guest is free to access as many nodes in a single transaction
as it wants. This can lead to unbounded memory consumption in Xenstore
as there is the need to keep track of all nodes having been accessed
during a transaction.
In oxenstored the number of requests in a transaction is being limited
via a quota maxrequests (default is 1024). As multiple accesses of a
node are not problematic in C Xenstore, limit the number of accessed
nodes.
In order to let read_node() detect a quota error in case too many nodes
are being accessed, check the return value of access_node() and return
NULL in case an error has been seen. Introduce __must_check and add it
to the access_node() prototype.

The accounting of nodes can be simplified now that each connection
holds the associated domid.
Fix the node accounting to cover nodes created for a domain before it
has been introduced. This requires to react properly to an allocation
failure inside domain_entry_inc() by returning an error code.
Especially in error paths the node accounting has to be fixed in some
cases.
