The field 'base' in 'struct libxl_device_virtio' is defined as uint64,
while we are printing it with '%lu', which is 32bit only 32-bit
platforms. And so generates a error like:
libxl_internal.h:4388:51: error: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long
unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'uint64_t' {aka 'long long unsigned
int'} [-Werror=format=]
Fix it by switching to a 64bit PRI instead.
While fixing this, switch from decimal to hex which is the more natural base
to use for a field like this.

This patch adds basic support for configuring and assisting generic
Virtio backends, which could run in any domain.
An example of domain configuration for mmio based Virtio I2C device is:
virtio = ["type=virtio,device22,transport=mmio"]
To make this work on Arm, allocate Virtio MMIO params (IRQ and memory
region) and pass them to the backend and update guest device-tree to
create a DT node for the Virtio devices.
Add special support for I2C and GPIO devices, which require the
"compatible" DT property to be set, among other device specific
properties. Support for generic virtio devices is also added, which just
need a MMIO node but not any special DT properties, for such devices the
user needs to pass "virtio,device" in the "type" string.
The parsing of generic virtio device configurations will be done in a
separate commit.

Today it is possible to set a flag when calling hashtable_destroy() in

should be freed or not. The keys of the entries will always be freed.
Change that by replacing the flag of hashtable_destroy() by two flags
for create_hashtable() which will specify whether the data and/or the

This will enable users to have the key e.g. as part of the data.

Closing the evtchn handle will unbind and free all local ports. The new
xenstored would need to rebind all evtchns, which is work that we don't want
or need to be doing during the critical handover period.
However, it turns out that the Windows PV drivers also rebind their local port
too across suspend/resume, leaving (o)xenstored with a stale idea of the
remote port to use. In this case, reusing the established connection is the
only robust option.
Therefore:
* Have oxenstored open /dev/xen/evtchn without CLOEXEC at start of day.
* Extend the handover information with the evtchn fd, domexc virq local port,
and the local port number for each domain connection.
* Have (the new) oxenstored recover the open handle using Xeneventchn.fdopen,
and use the provided local ports rather than trying to rebind them.
When this new information isn't present (i.e. live updating from an oxenstored
prior to this change), the best-effort status quo will have to do.

Inter-domain event channels are always a pair of local and remote ports.
Right now the handling is asymmetric, caused by the fact that the evtchn is
bound after the associated Domain object is constructed.
First, move binding of the event channel into the Domain.make() constructor.
This means the local port no longer needs to be an option. It also removes
the final callers of Domain.bind_interdomain.
Next, introduce a new port_pair type to encapsulate the fact that these two
should be updated together, and replace the previous port and remote_port
fields. This refactoring also changes the Domain.get_port interface (removing
an option) so take the opportunity to name it get_local_port instead.
Also, this fixes a use-after-free risk with Domain.close. Once the evtchn has
been unbound, the same local port number can be reused for a different
purpose, so explicitly invalidate the ports to prevent their accidental misuse
in the future.
This also cleans up some of the debugging, to always print a port pair.

Avoid those problems by multiple modifications:
- free any transaction specific nodes which don't need to be committed

out-of-memory situations
- 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
- if writing a node in a transaction is failing (e.g. due to a failed

partially and without updating the accounting information. This will
enable a malicious guest to create arbitrary number of nodes.

Integers in Ocaml have 63 or 31 bits of signed precision.
On 64-bit builds of Ocaml, this is fine because a C uint32_t always fits
within a 63-bit signed integer.
In 32-bit builds of Ocaml, this goes wrong. The C uint32_t is truncated
first (loses the top bit), then has a unsigned/signed mismatch.
A "negative" value (i.e. a packet on the ring of between 1G and 2G in size)
will trigger an exception later in Bytes.make in xb.ml, and because the packet
is not removed from the ring, the exception re-triggers on every subsequent
query, creating a livelock.
Fix both the source of the exception in Xb, and as defence in depth, mark the
domain as bad for any Invalid_argument exceptions to avoid the risk of
livelock.
This is XSA-420 / CVE-2022-42324.

XSA-322 fixed a domid reuse vulnerability by assigning Dom0 as the owner of
any nodes left after a domain is shutdown (e.g. outside its /local/domain/N
tree).
However Dom0 has no quota on purpose, so this opened up another potential
attack vector. Avoid it by deleting these nodes instead of assigning them to
Dom0.
This is part of XSA-419 / CVE-2022-42323.

Having a file backed data base has the only advantage of being capable
to dump the contents of it while Xenstore is running, and potentially
using less swap space in case the data base can't be kept in memory.
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
(measured by "xenstore-control check").
So make the internal memory data base the default and enhance the
"--internal-db" command line parameter to take an optional parameter
allowing to switch the internal data base back to the file based one.
This is part of XSA-419.
