Paul Durrant b38d426ad0 x86/viridian: flush remote tlbs by hypercall
The Microsoft Hypervisor Top Level Functional Spec. (section 3.4) defines
two bits in CPUID leaf 0x40000004:EAX for the hypervisor to recommend
whether or not to issue a hypercall for local or remote TLB flush.

Whilst it's doubtful whether using a hypercall for local TLB flush would
be any more efficient than a specific INVLPG VMEXIT, a remote TLB flush
may well be more efficiently done. This is because the alternative
mechanism is to IPI all the vCPUs in question which (in the absence of
APIC virtualisation) will require emulation and scheduling of the vCPUs
only to have them immediately VMEXIT for local TLB flush.

This patch therefore adds a viridian option which, if selected, enables
the hypercall for remote TLB flush and implements it using ASID
invalidation for targetted vCPUs followed by an IPI only to the set of
CPUs that happened to be running a targetted vCPU (which may be the empty
set). The flush may be more severe than requested since the hypercall can
request flush only for a specific address space (CR3) but Xen neither
keeps a mapping of ASID to guest CR3 nor allows invalidation of a specific
ASID, but on a host with contended CPUs performance is still likely to
be better than a more specific flush using IPIs.

The implementation of the patch introduces per-vCPU viridian_init() and
viridian_deinit() functions to allow a scratch cpumask to be allocated.
This avoids needing to put this potentially large data structure on stack
during hypercall processing. It also modifies the hypercall input and
output bit-fields to allow a check for the 'fast' calling convention,
and a white-space fix in the definition of HVMPV_feature_mask (to remove
hard tabs).

Shuai Ruan c708181305 libxc: expose xsaves/xgetbv1/xsavec to hvm guest
This patch exposes xsaves/xgetbv1/xsavec to hvm guest.
The reserved bits of eax/ebx/ecx/edx must be cleaned up
when call cpuid(0dh) with leaf 1 or 2..63.

According to the spec the following bits must be reserved:
For leaf 1, bits 03-04/08-31 of ecx is reserved. Edx is reserved.
For leaf 2...63, bits 01-31 of ecx is reserved, Edx is reserved.

But as no XSS festures are currently supported, even in HVM guests,
for leaf 2...63, ecx should be zero at the moment.

Juergen Gross 81a76e4b12 libxc: rework of domain builder's page table handler
In order to prepare a p2m list outside of the initial kernel mapping
do a rework of the domain builder's page table handler. The goal is
to be able to use common helpers for page table allocation and setup
for initial kernel page tables and page tables mapping the p2m list.
This is achieved by supporting multiple mapping areas. The mapped
virtual addresses of the single areas must not overlap, while the
page tables of a new area added might already be partially present.
Especially the top level page table is existing only once, of course.

Currently restrict the number of mappings to 1 because the only mapping
now is the initial mapping created by toolstack. There should not be
behaviour change and guest visible change introduced.

Guest memory allocation in the domain builder of libxc is done via
virtual addresses only. In order to be able to support preallocated
areas not virtually mapped reorganize the memory allocator to keep
track of allocated pages globally and in allocated segments.

This requires an interface change of the allocate callback of the

callback is stubdom/grub/kexec.c using this virtual address to
calculate the last used pfn.

Jim Fehlig ef6cb76026 libxl: relax readonly check introduced by XSA-142 fix
The fix for XSA-142 is quite a big hammer, rejecting readonly
disk configuration even when the requested backend is known to
support readonly. While it is true that qemu doesn't support
readonly for emulated IDE or AHCI disks

$ /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 \
 -drive file=/tmp/disk.raw,if=ide,media=disk,format=raw,readonly=on
qemu-system-i386: Can't use a read-only drive

qemu-system-i386: -device ide-hd,bus=ahci0.0,unit=0,drive=ahcidisk-0:
Can't use a read-only drive

It does support readonly SCSI disks

$ /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 \
 -drive file=/tmp/disk.raw,if=scsi,media=disk,format=raw,readonly=on
[ok]

Inside a guest using such a disk, the SCSI kernel driver sees write
protect on

[   7.339232] sd 2:0:1:0: [sdb] Write Protect is on

Also, PV drivers support readonly, but the patch rejects such
configuration even when PV drivers (vdev=xvd*) have been explicitly
specified and creation of an emulated twin is skiped.

This follow-up patch loosens the restriction to reject readonly when
creating an emulated IDE or AHCI disk, but allows it when the backend
is known to support readonly.

Jonathan Davies 82ff7cbed6 oxenstored: Quota.merge: don't assume domain already exists
In Quota.merge, we merge two quota hashtables, orig_quota and mod_quota, putting
the results into dest_quota. These hashtables map domids to the number of
entries currently owned by that domain.

When mod_quota contains an entry for a domid that was not present in orig_quota
(or dest_quota), the call to get_entry caused Quota.merge to raise a Not_found
exception. This propagates back to the client as an ENOENT error, which is not
an appropriate return value from some operations, such as transaction_end.

This situation can arise when a transaction that introduces a domain (hence
calling Quota.add_entry) needs to be coalesced due to concurrent xenstore
activity.

This patch handles the merge in the case where mod_quota contains an entry not
present in orig_quota (or in dest_quota) by treating that hashtable as having
existing value 0.

Stefano Stabellini 84f2fd1ba5 run QEMU as non-root
Try to use "xen-qemuuser-domid$domid" first, then
"xen-qemuuser-shared" and root if everything else fails.

The uids need to be manually created by the user or, more likely, by the
xen package maintainer.

Expose a device_model_user setting in libxl_domain_build_info, so that
opinionated callers, such as libvirt, can set any user they like. Do not
fall back to root if device_model_user is set. Users can also set
device_model_user by hand in the xl domain config file.

QEMU is going to setuid and setgid to the user ID and the group ID of
the specified user, soon after initialization, before starting to deal
with any guest IO.

To actually secure QEMU when running in Dom0, we need at least to
deprivilege the privcmd and xenstore interfaces, this is just the first
step in that direction.

Ian Campbell fb31b1475f tools: pygrub: if partition table is empty, try treating as a whole disk
pygrub (in identify_disk_image()) detects a DOS style partition table
via the presence of the 0xaa55 signature at the end of the first
sector of the disk.

However this signature is also present in whole-disk configurations
when there is an MBR on the disk. Many filesystems (e.g. ext[234])
include leading padding in their on disk format specifically to enable
this.

So if we think we have a DOS partition table but do not find any
actual partition table entries we may as well try looking at it as a
whole disk image. Worst case is we probe and find there isn't anything
there.

This was reported by Sjors Gielen in Debian bug #745419. The fix was
inspired by a patch by Adi Kriegisch in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745419#27

Tested by genext2fs'ing my /boot into a new raw image (works) and
then:
   dd if=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/g2ldr.mbr of=img conv=notrunc bs=512 count=1

to add an MBR (with 0xaa55 signature) to it, which after this patch
also works.

Jan Beulich 5a647406c0 libxlu: avoid linker warnings
Recent ld warns about libxenlight.so's dependency libraries not being
available, which can be easily avoided by not just passing the raw
library name on ld's command line.

In the course of checking how things fit together (I originally
suspected the warning to come from the linking of xl) I also noticed a
stray L in SHLIB_libxenguest, which gets removed at once.

Ian Jackson e294a0c3af libxl: adjust PoD target by memory fudge, too
PoD guests need to balloon at least as far as required by PoD, or risk
crashing.  Currently they don't necessarily know what the right value
is, because our memory accounting is (at the very least) confusing.

Apply the memory limit fudge factor to the in-hypervisor PoD memory
target, too.  This will increase the size of the guest's PoD cache by
the fudge factor LIBXL_MAXMEM_CONSTANT (currently 1Mby).  This ensures
that even with a slightly-off balloon driver, the guest will be
stable even under memory pressure.

There are two call sites of xc_domain_set_pod_target that need fixing:

The one in libxl_set_memory_target is straightforward.

The one in xc_hvm_build_x86.c:setup_guest is more awkward.  Simply
setting the PoD target differently does not work because the various
amounts of memory during domain construction no longer match up.
Instead, we adjust the guest memory target in xenstore (but only for
PoD guests).

This introduces a 1Mby discrepancy between the balloon target of a PoD
guest at boot, and the target set by an apparently-equivalent `xl
mem-set' (or similar) later.  This approach is low-risk for a security
fix but we need to fix this up properly in xen.git#staging and
probably also in stable trees.

This is XSA-153.

Jan Beulich 5c23c760a8 x86/HVM: correct page dirty marking in hvm_map_guest_frame_rw()
Rather than dirtying a page when establishing a (permanent) mapping,
dirty it when the page gets unmapped, or - if still mapped - on the
final iteration of a save operation (or in other cases where the guest
is paused or already shut down). (Transient mappings continue to get
dirtied upon getting mapped, to avoid the overhead of tracking.)

Ian Jackson cd84a2baad libxl: Do not call assert() in signal handlers
assert is not async-signal-safe.

In practice the effect of calling assert there is that if the
assertion fails we might get a secondary crash, or other undesirable
behaviour from stdio (which is how assert usually reports failures).

Mention in a comment in libxl__self_pipe_wakeup that it has to be
async-signal-safe.

Wei Liu 598e97fdd0 tools/python: remove broken xl binding
Various people say this binding doesn't compile or doesn't work. Remove
it for the benefit of xl feature development -- so that new features
won't need to worry about making this broken binding happy.

This isn't going to expose any user visible changes because that module
is not built by default.
