ITS manages Device Tables and Interrupt Translation Tables on its own,
so generally we are not interested in maintaining any coherence with
CPU's view of those memory regions, except one case: ITS requires that
Interrupt Translation Tables should be initialized with
zeroes. Existing code already does this, but it does not cleans
caches afterwards. This means that ITS may see un-initialized ITT and
CPU can overwrite portions of ITT later, when it finally decides to
flush caches. Visible effect of this issue that there are not
interrupts delivered from a device.
Fix this by calling clean_and_invalidate_dcache_va_range() for newly

On large systems with many vcpus yielding due to spinlock priority
inversion, it's not uncommon for a vcpu to yield its timeslice, only
to be immediately stolen by another pcpu looking for higher-priority
work.
To prevent this:
* Keep the YIELD flag until a vcpu is removed from a runqueue
* When looking for work to steal, skip vcpus which have yielded
NB that this does mean that sometimes a VM is inserted into an empty

The credit scheduler tries as hard as it can to ensure that it always
runs scheduling units with positive credit (PRI_TS_UNDER) before
running those with negative credit (PRI_TS_OVER). If the next
runnable scheduling unit is of priority OVER, it will always run the
load balancer, which will scour the system looking for another
scheduling unit of the UNDER priority.
Unfortunately, as the number of cores on a system has grown, the cost
of the work-stealing algorithm has dramatically increased; a recent
trace on a system with 128 cores showed this taking over 50
microseconds.
Add a parameter, load_balance_ratelimit, to limit the frequency of
load balance operations on a given pcpu. Default this to 1
millisecond.
Invert the load balancing conditional to make it more clear, and line
up more closely with the comment above it.
Overall it might be cleaner to have the last_load_balance checking
happen inside csched_load_balance(), but that would require either
passing both now and spc into the function, or looking them up again;
both of which seemed to be worse than simply checking and setting the
values before calling it.

(which will end up calling YIELD during spinlock contention), this

Currently, libxl will grant IOMEM, I/O port and IRQ permissions when
a PCI is attached (see pci_add_dm_done()) for all domain types. However,
the permissions are only revoked for non-HVM domain (see do_pci_remove()).
This means that HVM domains will be left with extra permissions. While
this look bad on the paper, the IRQ permissions should be revoked
when the Device Model call xc_physdev_unmap_pirq() and such domain
cannot directly mapped I/O port and IOMEM regions. Instead, this has to
be done by a Device Model.
The Device Model can only run in dom0 or PV stubdomain (upstream libxl
doesn't have support for HVM/PVH stubdomain).
For PV/PVH stubdomain, the permission are properly revoked, so there is
no security concern.
This leaves dom0. There are two cases:
1) Privileged: Anyone gaining access to the Device Model would already
have large control on the host.
2) Deprivileged: PCI passthrough require PHYSDEV operations which
are not accessible when the Device Model is restricted.
So overall, it is believed that the extra permissions cannot be exploited.
Rework the code so the permissions are all removed for HVM domains.
This needs to happen after the QEMU has detached the device. So
the revocation is now moved to pci_remove_detached().
Also add a comment on top of the error message when the PIRQ cannot
be unbind to explain this could be a spurious error as QEMU may have
already done it.

paging lock was dropped. Yet it needs to remain valid until the actual
page table switch occurred.
Propagate up the call chain the shadow entry that needs releasing
eventually, and carry out the release immediately after switching page
tables. Handle update_cr3() failures by switching to idle pagetables.
Note that various further uses of update_cr3() are HVM-only or only act
on paused vCPU-s, in which case sh_set_toplevel_shadow() will not defer
releasing of the reference.

This is an interesting covert channel that allows two threads to communicate
without any system calls. In also allows userspace to obtain the result of
the most recent DIV instruction executed (even speculatively) in the core,
which can be from a higher privilege context.
Scrub the result from the divider by executing a non-faulting divide. This

builds to cross-check that the ist_exit boolean matches the entry vector.
Write check_ist_exit() it in C, because it's debug only and the logic more
complicated than I care to maintain in asm.
