intentionally created non-sparse to avoid fragmentation of the file.
The option intended for the backend driver. A new boolean property
"discard-enable" is written to the backend node. An upcoming patch for

Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is a new security
feature disclosed by Intel, please refer to the following
document:
http://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/319433-014.pdf
If CR4.SMAP = 1, supervisor-mode data accesses are not allowed
to linear addresses that are accessible in user mode. If CPL < 3,
SMAP protections are disabled if EFLAGS.AC = 1. If CPL = 3, SMAP
applies to all supervisor-mode data accesses (these are implicit
supervisor accesses) regardless of the value of EFLAGS.AC.
This patch enables SMAP in Xen to prevent Xen hypervisor from
accessing pv guest data, whose translation paging-structure
entries' U/S flags are all set.

In a number of cases, loops over each vCPU in a domain are involved
here. For large numbers of vCPU-s these may still take some time to
complete, but we're limiting them at a couple of thousand at most, so I
would think this should not by itself be an issue. I wonder though
whether it shouldn't be possible to have XSM restrict the vCPU count
that can be set through XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus.
XEN_DOMCTL_pausedomain:
A loop over vcpu_sleep_sync() for each of vCPU in the domain. That
function itself has a loop waiting for the subject vCPU to become non-
runnable, which ought to complete quickly (involving an IPI to be sent
and acted on). No other unbounded resource usage.
XEN_DOMCTL_unpausedomain:
Simply a loop calling vcpu_wake() (not having any loops or other
resource usage itself) for each of vCPU in the domain.
XEN_DOMCTL_getdomaininfo:
Two loops (one over all domains, i.e. bounded by the limit of 32k
domains, and another over all vCPU-s in the domain); no other
unbounded resource usage.
XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo:
Inquiring just a single MFN, i.e. no loops and no other unbounded
resource usage.
XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo{2,3}:
Number of inquired MFNs is limited to 1024. Beyond that just like
XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo.
XEN_DOMCTL_getvcpuinfo:
Only obtaining information on the vCPU, no loops or other resource

XEN_DOMCTL_setdomainhandle:
Simply a memcpy() of a very limited amount of data.
XEN_DOMCTL_setdebugging:
A domain_{,un}pause() pair (see XEN_DOMCTL_{,un}pausedomain) framing
the setting of a flag.
XEN_DOMCTL_hypercall_init:
Initializing a guest provided page with hypercall stubs. No other
resource consumption.
XEN_DOMCTL_arch_setup:
IA64 leftover, interface structure being removed from the public

XEN_DOMCTL_settimeoffset:
Setting a couple of guest state fields. No other resource consumption.
XEN_DOMCTL_getvcpuaffinity:
XEN_DOMCTL_getnodeaffinity:
Involve temporary memory allocations (approximately) bounded by the
number of CPUs in the system / number of nodes built for, which is
okay. Beyond that trivial operation.
XEN_DOMCTL_real_mode_area:
PPC leftover, interface structure being removed from the public

XEN_DOMCTL_resumedomain:
A domain_{,un}pause() pair framing operation very similar to
XEN_DOMCTL_unpausedomain (see above).
XEN_DOMCTL_sendtrigger:

Reading/writing of a couple of guest state fields wrapped in a
domain_{,un}pause() pair.
XEN_DOMCTL_audit_p2m:
Enabled only in debug builds.
XEN_DOMCTL_set_max_evtchn:
While the limit set here implies other (subsequent) resource usage,
this is the purpose of the operation.
I also verified that all removed domctls' handlers don't leak
hypervisor memory contents .
Inspected but questionable (and hence left in place for now):
XEN_DOMCTL_max_mem:
While only setting the field capping a domain's allocation (this
implies potential successive resource usage, but that's the purpose of
the operation). However, XSM doesn't see the value that's being set
here, so the net effect would be potential unbounded memory use.
XEN_DOMCTL_set_virq_handler:
This modifies a global array. While that is the purpose of the
operation, if multiple domains are granted permission they can badly
interfere with one another. Hence I'd appreciate a second opinion
here. [Andrew confirms that this being the nature of the operation,
it's fine to be removed from the list - will be done in a 2nd round.]

This is a complete rewrite of the disk format and key hierarchy for the
TPM Manager. The new format supports multiple groups of vTPMs which
define the permitted configurations where a given vTPM's keys are
available, allowing upgrades of critical components while retaining the
secrecy of cryptographic keys.
New features of the TPM Manager are explained in the README and in the
definitions of the management commands in vtpm_manager.h.
New features for vTPMs:
1. The size of the state blob for a vTPM is expanded from 52 to 64
bytes in order to support future vTPMs using SHA-2/3 instead of SHA-1.
2. vTPMs can obtain a quote from the physical TPM with certain
resettable PCRs set to include information about the vTPM. This can be
used by a vTPM to provide evidence of its integrity, including the
secrecy of its EK, and for deep quotes.
Some additional changes made by this rewrite that may impact existing
users:
1. The value of WELLKNOWN_OWNER_AUTH was incorrect for the physical TPM;
the convention is to use all zero bits for well-known authentication
values, not all one bits.
2. Randomly generating the owner auth value for the physical TPM is no
longer supported, as it prevents later creation or certification of
AIKs (which the old manager did not support).
3. The vTPM Manager needs to be provisioned with a PCR composite and an
upgrade authority's public key before it will save data across boots.
The current implementation still has some limitations:
* 5 valid system PCR selections per group
* The vTPM Manager's disk can use at most 2MB of space
* The vTPM domain's build hash is always set to null/zero
Most of the code relating to upgrade and rollback protection is
currently stubbed out, but future versions can add:
* Support for using the TPM's monotonic counter to prevent rollback
of vTPM data by taking and restoring disk snapshots
* Masking the master disk encryption key using a value stored in the
TPM's NVRAM so that revocation of old data is possible without
relying on all previously authorized software stacks to respect the
monotonic counter's value

The Linux kernel is able to update the microcode during early bootup
via inspection of the initramfs blob to see if there is an cpio image
with certain microcode files. Linux is able to function with two (or
more) cpio archives in the initrd b/c it unpacks all of the cpio
archives.
The format of the early initramfs is nicely documented in Linux's
Documentation/x86/early-microcode.txt:
Early load microcode
====================
By Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>
Kernel can update microcode in early phase of boot time. Loading microcode early
can fix CPU issues before they are observed during kernel boot time.
Microcode is stored in an initrd file. The microcode is read from the initrd
file and loaded to CPUs during boot time.
The format of the combined initrd image is microcode in cpio format followed by
the initrd image (maybe compressed). Kernel parses the combined initrd image
during boot time. The microcode file in cpio name space is:
kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin
During BSP boot (before SMP starts), if the kernel finds the microcode file in
the initrd file, it parses the microcode and saves matching microcode in memory.
If matching microcode is found, it will be uploaded in BSP and later on in all
APs.
The cached microcode patch is applied when CPUs resume from a sleep state.
There are two legacy user space interfaces to load microcode, either through
/dev/cpu/microcode or through /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload file
in sysfs.
In addition to these two legacy methods, the early loading method described
here is the third method with which microcode can be uploaded to a system's
CPUs.
The following example script shows how to generate a new combined initrd file in
/boot/initrd-3.5.0.ucode.img with original microcode microcode.bin and
original initrd image /boot/initrd-3.5.0.img.
mkdir initrd
cd initrd
mkdir kernel
mkdir kernel/x86
mkdir kernel/x86/microcode
cp ../microcode.bin kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin
find .|cpio -oc >../ucode.cpio
cd ..
cat ucode.cpio /boot/initrd-3.5.0.img >/boot/initrd-3.5.0.ucode.img
As such this code inspects the initrd to see if the microcode
signatures are present and if so updates the hypervisor.
The option to turn this scan on/off is gated by the 'ucode'
parameter. The options are now:
'scan' Scan for the microcode in any multiboot payload.
<index> Attempt to load microcode blob (not the cpio archive
format) from the multiboot payload number.
This option alters slightly the 'ucode' parameter by only allowing
either parameter:
ucode=[<index>|scan]
Implementation wise the ucode_blob is defined as __initdata.
That is OK from the viewpoint of suspend/resume as the the underlaying
architecture microcode (microcode_intel or microcode_amd) end up saving
the blob in 'struct ucode_cpu_info' which is a per-cpu data
structure (see ucode_cpu_info). They end up saving it when doing the
pre-SMP (for CPU0) and SMP (for the rest) microcode loading.
Naturally if one does a hypercall to update the microcode and it is
newer, then the old per-cpu data is replaced.

Currently we use the chosen/bootargs property as the Xen commandline
and rely on xen,dom0-bootargs for Dom0. However this brings issues
with bootloaders, which usually build bootargs by bootscripts for a
Linux kernel - and not for the entirely different Xen hypervisor.
Introduce a new possible device tree property "xen,xen-bootargs"
explicitly for the Xen hypervisor and make the selection of which to
use more fine grained:
- If xen,xen-bootargs is present, it will be used for Xen.
- If xen,dom0-bootargs is present, it will be used for Dom0.
- If xen,xen-bootargs is _not_ present, but xen,dom0-bootargs is,
bootargs will be used for Xen. Like the current situation.
- If no Xen specific properties are present, bootargs is for Dom0.
- If xen,xen-bootargs is present, but xen,dom0-bootargs is missing,
bootargs will be used for Dom0.
The aim is to allow common bootscripts to boot both Xen and native
Linux with the same device tree blob. If needed, one could hard-code
the Xen commandline into the DTB, leaving bootargs for Dom0 to be set
by the (non Xen-aware) bootloader.
I will send out a appropriate u-boot patch, which writes the content
of the "xen_bootargs" environment variable into the xen,xen-bootargs
dtb property.
