These functions take guest pfns and look them up in the p2m. They did
no range checking.
However, some callers, notably xc_dom_boot.c:setup_hypercall_page want
to pass untrusted guest-supplied value(s). It is most convenient to
detect this here and return INVALID_MFN.
This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

A sufficiently malformed input to libxc (such as a malformed input ELF
or other guest-controlled data) might cause one of libxc's malloc() to
fail. In this case we need to make sure we don't dereference or do
pointer arithmetic on the result.
Search for all occurrences of \b(m|c|re)alloc in libxc, and all
functions which call them, and add appropriate error checking where
missing.
This includes the functions xc_dom_malloc*, which now print a message
when they fail so that callers don't have to do so.
The function xc_cpuid_to_str wasn't provided with a sane return value
and has a pretty strange API, which now becomes a little stranger.
There are no in-tree callers.
Changes in the Xen 4.2 version of this series:
* No need to fix code relating to ARM.
* No need to fix code relating to superpage support.
* Additionally fix `dom->p2m_host = xc_dom_malloc...' in xc_dom_ia64.c.

This is a simple binary image loader with its own metadata format.
However, it is too careless with image-supplied values.
Add the following checks:
* That the image is bigger than the metadata table; otherwise the
pointer arithmetic to calculate the metadata table location may
yield undefined and dangerous values.
* When clamping the end of the region to search, that we do not
calculate pointers beyond the end of the image. The C
specification does not permit this and compilers are becoming ever
more determined to miscompile code when they can "prove" various
falsehoods based on assertions from the C spec.
* That the supplied image is big enough for the text we are allegedly
copying from it. Otherwise we might have a read overrun and copy
the results (perhaps a lot of secret data) into the guest.

Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow.
Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with
security vulnerabilities etc.
So use only unsigned integers. Exceptions are booleans (which we have
already changed) and error codes.
We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own
text segment, but not the char*s. This is because it is safe to
access an arbitrary byte through a char*, but not necessarily safe to
convert an arbitrary value to a char.
As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign.
It is OK to change all the signed integers to unsigned because all the
inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect"
negative numbers.
In libelf-dominfo.c:elf_xen_parse we rename a variable "rc" to
"more_notes" as it actually contains a note count derived from the
input image. The "error" return value from elf_xen_parse_notes is
changed from -1 to ~0U.
grepping shows only one occurrence of "PRId" or "%d" or "%ld" in
libelf and xc_dom_elfloader.c (a "%d" which becomes "%u").
This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.
Conflicts in 4.1 series:
* xc_dom_load_elf_kernel has no rc variable to change.
* elf_load_image doesn't exist.

We want to remove uses of "int" because signed integers have
undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow. Malicious compilers can
turn apparently-correct code into code with security vulnerabilities
etc.
In this patch we change all the booleans in libelf to C99 bool,
from <stdbool.h>.
For the one visible libelf boolean in libxc's public interface we
retain the use of int to avoid changing the ABI; libxc converts it to
a bool for consumption by libelf.
It is OK to change all values only ever used as booleans to _Bool
(bool) because conversion from any scalar type to a _Bool works the
same as the boolean test in if() or ?: and is always defined (C99
6.3.1.2). But we do need to check that all these variables really are
only ever used that way. (It is theoretically possible that the old
code truncated some 64-bit values to 32-bit ints which might become
zero depending on the value, which would mean a behavioural change in
this patch, but it seems implausible that treating 0x????????00000000
as false could have been intended.)

This arranges that if the new pointer reference error checking
tripped, we actually get a message about it. In this patch these
messages do not change the actual return values from the various
functions: so pointer reference errors do not prevent loading. This
is for fear that some existing kernels might cause the code to make
these wild references, which would then break, which is not a good
thing in a security patch.
In xen/arch/x86/domain_build.c we have to introduce an "out" label and
change all of the "return rc" beyond the relevant point into "goto

elf_is_elfbinary didn't take a length parameter and could potentially
access out of range when provided with a very short image.
We only need to check the size is enough for the actual dereference in
elf_is_elfbinary; callers are just using it to check the magic number
and do their own checks (usually via the new elf_ptrval system) before
dereferencing other parts of the header.

We change the ELF_PTRVAL and ELF_HANDLE types and associated macros:
* PTRVAL becomes a uintptr_t, for which we provide a typedef
elf_ptrval. This means no arithmetic done on it can overflow so
the compiler cannot do any malicious invalid pointer arithmetic
"optimisations". It also means that any places where we
dereference one of these pointers without using the appropriate
macros or functions become a compilation error.
So we can be sure that we won't miss any memory accesses.
All the PTRVAL variables were previously void* or char*, so
the actual address calculations are unchanged.
* ELF_HANDLE becomes a union, one half of which keeps the pointer
value and the other half of which is just there to record the
type.
The new type is not a pointer type so there can be no address
calculations on it whose meaning would change. Every assignment or
access has to go through one of our macros.
* The distinction between const and non-const pointers and char*s
and void*s in libelf goes away. This was not important (and
anyway libelf tended to cast away const in various places).
* The fields elf->image and elf->dest are renamed. That proves
that we haven't missed any unchecked uses of these actual
pointer values.
* The caller may fill in elf->caller_xdest_base and _size to
specify another range of memory which is safe for libelf to
access, besides the input and output images.
* When accesses fail due to being out of range, we mark the elf
"broken". This will be checked and used for diagnostics in
a following patch.
We do not check for write accesses to the input image. This is
because libelf actually does this in a number of places. So we
simply permit that.
* Each caller of libelf which used to set dest now sets
dest_base and dest_size.
* In xc_dom_load_elf_symtab we provide a new actual-pointer
value hdr_ptr which we get from mapping the guest's kernel
area and use (checking carefully) as the caller_xdest area.
* The STAR(h) macro in libelf-dominfo.c now uses elf_access_unsigned.
* elf-init uses the new elf_uval_3264 accessor to access the 32-bit
fields, rather than an unchecked field access (ie, unchecked
pointer access).
* elf_uval has been reworked to use elf_uval_3264. Both of these
macros are essentially new in this patch (although they are derived
from the old elf_uval) and need careful review.
* ELF_ADVANCE_DEST is now safe in the sense that you can use it to
chop parts off the front of the dest area but if you chop more than
is available, the dest area is simply set to be empty, preventing
future accesses.
* We introduce some #defines for memcpy, memset, memmove and strcpy:
- We provide elf_memcpy_safe and elf_memset_safe which take
PTRVALs and do checking on the supplied pointers.
- Users inside libelf must all be changed to either
elf_mem*_unchecked (which are just like mem*), or
elf_mem*_safe (which take PTRVALs) and are checked. Any
unchanged call sites become compilation errors.
* We do _not_ at this time fix elf_access_unsigned so that it doesn't
make unaligned accesses. We hope that unaligned accesses are OK on
every supported architecture. But it does check the supplied
pointer for validity.
This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.
Additional change in 4.1 backport:
* ELF_PRPTRVAL needs to be defined oddly on 4.1 and earlier because
Xen's headers provide no definitions of uintptr_t or PRIuPTR.

We introduce a collection of macros which abstract away all the
pointer arithmetic and dereferences used for accessing the input ELF
and the output area(s). We use the new macros everywhere.
For now, these macros are semantically identical to the code they
replace, so this patch has no functional change.
elf_is_elfbinary is an exception: since it doesn't take an elf*, we
need to handle it differently. In a future patch we will change it to
take, and check, a length parameter. For now we just mark it with a
fixme.
Nontrivial differences in the 4.1 backport:
* We need to provide our own elf_uintptr_t since Xen doesn't.
* We see some additional differences in our verification diff.
* The "function-filter" needs to massage additional symbol names.
Conflicts:
* In xc_dom_load_elf_symtab the old code used
*(Elf64_Word*)(&shdr->e64.sh_name) and the new Elf32_Word
but in fact the type in the struct has changed too so the
new code using elf_store_field is still correct.
* loadelfimage, elf_load_image etc. don't exist and are done
directly with memcpy/memset; patch adjusted appropriately.
* elf_note_numeric_array doesn't exist in 4.1.
That this patch has no functional change can be verified as follows:
0. Copy the scripts "comparison-generate" and "function-filter"
out of this commit message.
1. Check out the tree before this patch.
2. Run the script ../comparison-generate .... ../before
3. Check out the tree after this patch.

* tools/libxc/xc_domain_restore.s2 (64-bit build):

xc_dom_load_elf_symtab (with load==0) calls elf_round_up, but it
mistakenly used the uninitialised variable "syms" when calculating
dom->bsd_symtab_start. This should be a reference to "elf".
This change might have the effect of rounding the value differently.
Previously if the uninitialised value (a single byte on the stack) was
ELFCLASS64 (ie, 2), the alignment would be to 8 bytes, otherwise to 4.
However, the value is calculated from dom->kernel_seg.vend so this
could only make a difference if that value wasn't already aligned to 8
bytes.

The hypervisor side changes for XSA-46 require the tool stack to now
always map the guest pIRQ before granting access permission to the
underlying host IRQ (GSI). This in particular requires that pciif.py
no longer can skip this step (assuming qemu would do it) for HVM
guests.
This in turn exposes, however, an inconsistency between xend and qemu:
The former wants to always establish 1:1 mappings between pIRQ and host
IRQ (for non-MSI only of course), while the latter always wants to
allocate an arbitrary mapping. Since the whole tool stack obviously
should always agree on the mapping model, make libxc enforce the 1:1
mapping as the more natural one (as well as being the one that allows
for easier debugging, since there no need to find out the extra
mapping). Users of libxc that want to establish a particular (rather
than an allocated) mapping are still free to do so, as well as tool
stacks not based on libxc wanting to implement an allocation based
model (which is why it's not the hypervisor that's being changed to
enforce either model).
Since libxl, like xend, already uses a 1:1 model, it's unaffected by
the libxc change (and it being unaffected by the original hypervisor
side changes is - afaict - simply due to qemu getting spawned at a
later point in time compared to the xend event flow).

We disable these checks when building in a stub domain for pvgrub

When an external agent (e.g. a monitoring daemon) happens to access the

fail for there not being any page in the PoD cache, and only the space
above the low 2Mb gets scanned for victim pages (while only the low 2Mb
got real pages populated so far).
To accomodate for this
- set the PoD target first
- do all physmap population in PoD mode (i.e. not just large [2Mb or

- slightly lift the restrictions enforced by p2m_pod_set_mem_target()

Fix save/restore for HVM domains with viridian=1
xc_domain_save/restore currently pay no attention to
HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN which results in an HVM domain running a recent
version on Windows (post-Vista) locking up on a domain restore due to
EOIs (done via a viridian MSR write) being silently dropped. This
patch adds an extra save entry for the viridian parameter and also
adds code in the viridian kernel module to catch attempted use of
viridian functionality when the HVM parameter has not been set.

The result of a CPUID Extended Topology Enumeration leaf for PV guests
is invalid as the level in ECX is ignored. This can cause some guests
to loop endlessly when trying to enumerate the topology.
Since the physical topology isn't useful to PV guests set the topology
leaf as unsupported.
Guests affected include Linux kernels prior 2.6.32 where a workaround
was applied ("xen: mask extended topology info in cpu",
82d6469916c6fcfa345636a49004c9d1753905d1).

Intel new CPU supports SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution
Protection). SMEP
prevents software operating with CPL < 3 (supervisor mode) from
fetching
instructions from any linear address with a valid translation for
which the U/S

translation
for the linear address.

while implementing core dumping functionality for the libxl driver
of libvirt, I discovered an issue with mapping pages of a pv guest.
After dumping the core of a pv guest the domain was not cleared up
properly and some pages were not unmapped. This issue is similar
to the one reported here:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-05/msg01314.html
In xc_domain_dumpcore_via_callback in the file xc_core.c the function
xc_core_arch_map_p2m is called to map P2M_FL_ENTRIES pages to the
variable p2m.
But to unmap the pages later, the dinfo->p2m_size has to be set
accordingly.
This was not done, instead a variable named p2m_size was set.
This way P2M_FL_ENTRIES was always zero and the pages were left
mapped.

With some help from Olaf, I've finally got to the bottom of an issue I
came across while trying to implement save/restore in the libvirt
libxenlight driver. After issuing the save operation, the saved
domain was not being cleaned up properly and left in this state from
xl's perspective
xen33:# xl list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 6821 8 r----- 122.5
(null) 2 2 2 --pssd 10.8
Checking the libvirtd /proc/$pid/maps I found this
7f3798984000-7f3798b86000 r--s 00002000 00:03 4026532097
/proc/xen/privcmd
So not all all pages belonging to the domain were unmapped from
libvirtd. In tools/libxc/xc_domain_save.c we found that
P2M_FL_ENTRIES were being mapped but only P2M_FLL_ENTRIES were being
unmapped. The attached patch changes the unmapping to use the same
P2M_FL_ENTRIES macro. I'm not too familiar with this code though so
posting here for review.
I suspect this was not noticed before since most (all?) processes
doing save terminate after the save and are not long-running like
libvirtd.

The functions which interpret the kernel image supplied for a
paravirtualised guest, and decompress it into memory when booting the
domain, are incautious. Specifically:
(i) Integer overflow in the decompression loop memory allocator might
result in overrunning the buffer used for the decompressed image;
(ii) Integer overflows and lack of checking of certain length fields
can result in the loader reading its own address space beyond the
size of the supplied kernel image file.
(iii) Lack of error checking in the decompression loop can lead to an
infinite loop.
This patch fixes these problems.

This sets a saner default for the cpu-online-map by setting all bits
to 1. The default assumption ought to be that nr-vcpus ==
nr-vcpus-at-start. If that is not true, then the toolstack must modify
the bitmap, but if it is true, the toolstack oughtn't need to do
anything further.

xc_domain_restore.c:apply_batch function makes two passes over the pfn_types
array in pagebuf to allocate the needed MFNs. The curbatch parameter to this
function specifies the array offset in pfn_types, from where the current scan
should begin. But this variable is not taken into account (index always starts
at 0) during the two passes. While this [bug] does not manifest itsef during
save/restore or live migration, under Remus, xc_domain_restore fails due to
corrupt guest page tables.
(This appears to have been broken by 21588:6c3d8aec202d which reverted
two changesets from before Remus support was added and hence
reintroduced some none-Remus compatible bits.)

The domain save code will read an HVM param, and if it's not zero,
make an entry for it. However, if the hypercall fails for any reason,
the data may not be written, and the value for the previous parameter
may be written in the save file as the parameter that failed.
Initialize the value to zero before each hypercall, so that in case of
a failure, no value will be written.

According to lzma's configure.ac (!) the minimum memory limit to cope

This is obviously an unreasonable amount of memory for this kind of

Constantly m(un)locking memory can have significant overhead on
systems with large numbers of CPUs. This was previously fixed by
20841:fbe8f32fa257 but this was dropped during the transition to
hypercall buffers.
Introduce a small cache of single page hypercall buffer allocations
which can be resused to avoid this overhead.
Add some statistics tracking to the hypercall buffer allocations.
The cache size of 4 was chosen based on these statistics since they
indicated that 2 pages was sufficient to satisfy all concurrent single
page hypercall buffer allocations seen during "xl create", "xl
shutdown" and "xl destroy" of both a PV and HVM guest therefore 4
pages should cover the majority of important cases.
This fixes http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1719.

It's not clear why a userspace lzma decode would want to use that
particular value, what bearing it has on anything or why it would
assume it could use 1/3 of the total RAM in the system (potentially
quite a large amount of RAM) as opposed to any other limit number.
Instead, hardcode 32Mby.

Currently, cur_pages (which is used as index into page_array for
fetching gfns) is used to judge whether it is proper here to allocated
1G pages. However, cur_pages == page_array[cur_pages] only holds true
when it is below 4G. When it is above 4G, page_array[cur_pages] -
cur_pages = 256M.
As a result, when guest has 10G memory, 8 1G-pages are allocated. But
only 2 of them have their corresponding gfns 1G aligned. The other 6
are forced to split to 2M pages, as their starting gfns are 4G+256M,
5G+256M .................
Inside the patch, true gfns are used instead of cur_pages to fix this
issue.
