Jan Beulich b5955458b3 AMD IOMMU: handle MSI for phantom functions
With ordinary requests allowed to come from phantom functions, the
remapping tables ought to be set up to also allow for MSI triggers to
come from other than the "real" device too.

It is not clear to me whether the alias-ID handling also needs
adjustment for this to work properly, or whether firmware can be
expected to properly express this through a device alias range
descriptor (or multiple device alias ones).

Jan Beulich 2101800f68 AMD IOMMU: also spot missing IO-APIC entries in IVRS table
Apart from dealing duplicate conflicting entries, we also have to
handle firmware omitting IO-APIC entries in IVRS altogether. Not doing
so has resulted in c/s 26517:601139e2b0db to crash such systems during
boot (whereas with the change here the IOMMU gets disabled just as is
being done in the other cases, i.e. unless global tables are being
used).

Debugging this issue has also pointed out that the debug log output is
pretty ugly to look at - consolidate the output, and add one extra
item for the IVHD special entries, so that future issues are easier
to analyze.

Ian Jackson ed759d2024 oxenstored: Enforce a maximum message size of 4096 bytes
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.

Ian Jackson 331a3b6ff0 tools/ocaml: oxenstored: Be more paranoid about ring reading
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.

Dongxiao Xu e7dda8ec9f VMX: disable SMEP feature when guest is in non-paging mode
SMEP is disabled if CPU is in non-paging mode in hardware.
However Xen always uses paging mode to emulate guest non-paging
mode with HAP. To emulate this behavior, SMEP needs to be manually
disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode.

We met an issue that, SMP Linux guest with recent kernel (enable
SMEP support, for example, 3.5.3) would crash with triple fault if
setting unrestricted_guest=0 in grub. This is because Xen uses an
identity mapping page table to emulate the non-paging mode, where
the page table is set with USER flag. If SMEP is still enabled in
this case, guest will meet unhandlable page fault and then crash.

In particular SYSCONFIG_DIR (configuration for initscripts) moved to

(correctly) remained in /etc/init.d. Moving /etc/xen/scripts breaks
the udev bakcned rules file. Lastly stuff under /var was moved to

Move these back to /etc/ and /var. Moving /etc wholesale rather thsn
just the problematic bits is preferable for consistency.

Although there seems to be some disagreement about /usr/local/var vs
/var using /var is compatible with the FHS and what we think most
people will expect.

Most of this impacts Linux only but NetBSD appears to have been using
/usr/local/var/lib which I have also reset to /var/lib.

Note that we already paid no attention to autoconf --sysconfdir or
--localstatedir ('etc' and 'var' respectively) so there is no change
from that PoV.

On new Intel platform, it introduces a new feature called VMCS
shadowing, where non-root VMREAD/VMWRITE will not trigger VM-Exit,
and the hardware will read/write the virtual VMCS instead.
This is proved to have performance improvement with the feature.

Dongxiao Xu ddddba4388 nested vmx: optimize for bulk access of virtual VMCS
After we use the VMREAD/VMWRITE to build up the virtual VMCS, each
access to the virtual VMCS needs two VMPTRLD and one VMCLEAR to
switch the environment, which might be an overhead to performance.
This commit tries to handle multiple virtual VMCS access together
to improve the performance.

Dongxiao Xu 8916ad7199 nested vmx: use VMREAD/VMWRITE to construct vVMCS if enabled VMCS shadowing
Before the VMCS shadowing feature, we use memory operation to build up
the virtual VMCS. This does work since this virtual VMCS will never be
loaded into real hardware. However after we introduce the VMCS
shadowing feature, this VMCS will be loaded into hardware, which
requires all fields in the VMCS accessed by VMREAD/VMWRITE.

Besides, the virtual VMCS revision identifer should also meet the
hardware's requirement, instead of using a faked one.

Dongxiao Xu 806c9ba583 nested vmx: Use a list to store the launched vvmcs for L1 VMM
Originally we use a virtual VMCS field to store the launch state of
a certain vmcs. However if we introduce VMCS shadowing feature, this
virtual VMCS should also be able to load into real hardware,
and VMREAD/VMWRITE operate invalid fields.

The new approach is to store the launch state into a list for L1 VMM.

Ian Campbell 9db0ad0f46 docs: check for documentation generation tools in docs/configure.
It is sometimes hard to discover all the optional tools that should be
on a system to build all available Xen documentation. By checking for
documentation generation tools at ./configure time and displaying a
warning, Xen packagers will more easily learn about new optional build
dependencies, like markdown, when they are introduced.

Based on a patch by Matt Wilson. Changed to use a separate
docs/configure which is called from the top-level in the same manner
as stubdoms.

Rerun autogen.sh and "git add docs/configure" after applying this patch.
