It is very common for BIOSes to advertise more cpus than are actually present
on the system, and mark some of them as offline. This is what Xen does to
allow for later CPU hotplug, and what BIOSes common to multiple different
systems do to to save fully rewriting the MADT in memory.
An excerpt from `xl info` might look like:
...
nr_cpus : 2
max_cpu_id : 3
...
Which shows 4 CPUs in the MADT, but only 2 online (as this particular box is
the dual-core rather than the quad-core SKU of its particular brand)
Because of the way Xen exposes this information, a libxl_cputopology array is
bounded by 'nr_cpus', while cpu bitmaps are bounded by 'max_cpu_id + 1'.
The current libxl code has two places which erroneously assume that a
libxl_cputopology array is as long as the number of bits found in a cpu
bitmap, and valgrind complains:

This will change initiate_domain_create to walk through NIC definitions
and automatically assign devids to those which have not assigned one.
The devids are needed later in domcreate_launch_dm (for HVM domains
using emulated NICs). The command string for starting the device-model
has those ids as part of its arguments.
Assignment of devids in the hotplug case is handled by libxl_device_nic_add
but that would be called too late in the startup case.
I also moved the call to libxl__device_nic_setdefault here as this seems
to be the only path leading there and avoids doing the loop a third time.
The two loops are trying to handle a case where the caller sets some devids
(not sure that should be valid) but leaves some unset.

"libxc: provide notification of final checkpoint to restore end"
broke migration from any version of Xen using tools from prior to that commit
Older tools have no idea about an XC_SAVE_ID_LAST_CHECKPOINT, causing newer
tools xc_domain_restore() to start reading the qemu save record, as
ctx->last_checkpoint is 0.
The failure looks like:
xc: error: Max batch size exceeded (1970103633). Giving up.
where 1970103633 = 0x756d6551 = *(uint32_t*)"Qemu"
With this fix in place, the behaviour for normal migrations is reverted to how
it was before the regression; the migration is considered non-checkpointed
right from the start. A XC_SAVE_ID_LAST_CHECKPOINT chunk seen in the
migration stream is a nop. For checkpointed migrations the behaviour is
unchanged.

XEN_DOMCTL_test_assign_device at least allows checking whether an
IOMMU is there and whether a device has been assign to _some_
guest.
For the time being, this should be enough to cover for the missing
error checking/recovery in other parts of libxl's device assignment
paths.
There remains a (functionality-, but not security-related) race in
that the iommu should be set up earlier, but this is too risky a
change for this stage of the 4.3 release.

Matthew Daley has observed that the PV console protocol places sensitive host
state into a guest writeable xenstore locations, this includes:
- The pty used to communicate between the console backend daemon and its
client, allowing the guest administrator to read and write arbitrary host
files.
- The output file, allowing the guest administrator to write arbitrary host
files or to target arbitrary qemu chardevs which include sockets, udp, ptr,
pipes etc (see -chardev in qemu(1) for a more complete list).
- The maximum buffer size, allowing the guest administrator to consume more
resources than the host administrator has configured.
- The backend to use (qemu vs xenconsoled), potentially allowing the guest
administrator to confuse host software.
So we arrange to make the sensitive keys in the xenstore frontend directory
read only for the guest. This is safe since the xenstore permissions model,
unlike POSIX directory permissions, does not allow the guest to remove and
recreate a node if it has write access to the containing directory.
There are a few associated wrinkles:
- The primary PV console is "special". It's xenstore node is not under the
usual /devices/ subtree and it does not use the customary xenstore state
machine protocol. Unfortunately its directory is used for other things,
including the vnc-port node, which we do not want the guest to be able to
write to. Rather than trying to track down all the possible secondary uses
of this directory just make it r/o to the guest. All newly created
subdirectories inherit these permissions and so are now safe by default.
- The other serial consoles do use the customary xenstore state machine and
therefore need write access to at least the "protocol" and "state" nodes,
however they may also want to use arbitrary "feature-foo" nodes (although
I'm not aware of any) and therefore we cannot simply lock down the entire
frontend directory. Instead we add support to libxl__device_generic_add for
frontend keys which are explicitly read only and use that to lock down the
sensitive keys.
- Minios' console frontend wants to write the "type" node, which it has no
business doing since this is a host/toolstack level decision. This fails
now that the node has become read only to the PV guest. Since the toolstack
already writes this node just remove the attempt to set it.
This is a security issue, XSA-57.

At the moment, qemu-xen can't handle memory being relocated by
hvmloader. This may happen if a device with a large enough memory
region is passed through to the guest. At the moment, if this
happens, then at some point in the future qemu will crash and the
domain will hang. (qemu-traditional is fine.)
It's too late in the release to do a proper fix, so we try to do
damage control.
hvmloader already has mechanisms to relocate memory to 64-bit space if
it can't make a big enough MMIO hole. By default this is 2GiB; if we
just refuse to make the hole bigger if it will overlap with guest
memory, then the relocation will happen by default.

The code had an obvious bug where it would assume that the balloon

end of the E820 array. The added E820_RAM would contain the balloon amount
plus the delta of memory that had to be subtracted b/c of the various
E820 entries. That assumption is certainly true when maxmem != mem,
but if guest config has maxmem = memory that is incorrect (as balloon
value is zero). The end result is that the E820 that is constructed
is missing a swath of "delta" memory and in most cases ends up with
only one E820_RAM entry that is of 512MB size on many Intel systems.

The libxl_cpu_bitmap_alloc(..) function, if provided with a zero
value for max CPUs will call xc_get_max_cpus() which will retrieve
the number of physical CPUs the host has. This is usually
OK if the guest's maxvcpus <= host pcpus. But if the value
is different, then the bitmap for VCPUs is limited by the
number of CPUs the host has.
This is incorrect as what we want is to hotplug in the guest
the amount of CPUs that the user specified on the command line
and not be limited by the amount of physical CPUs.
This means that a guest config like this:
vcpus=8
maxvcpus=32
and on a 4 PCPU machine doing
xl vcpu-set <guest name> 16
won't work. This is b/c the the size of the bitmap is one byte
so it can only hold up to 8 VCPUs. Hence anything above that
is going to be ignored.
Note that this patch also fixes the bitmap setting - as it
would set all of the bits allowed. Meaning if the user had a 4PCPU
host we would still allow the user to set 8VCPUs. This second
iteration of the patch fixes this.
Note that all of the libxl_cpu_bitmap_[test|set] silently ignore
any test or sets above its size:
if (bit >= bitmap->size * 8)
return 0;
so we were never notified off this bug.
This patch warns the user if they are trying to do this. If the
user really wants to do this they have to provide the --ignore-host
parameter to bypass this check.

is that during the startup of xl, one has call the libxl_defbool_setdefault.
otherwise any usage of claim_mode would result in assert break.
The assert is due to the fact that using defbool without any set
values (either true of false) will cause it hit an assertion.
If we use an 'int' we don't have to worry about it and by default

During the review of the patches it was noticed that there exists
a race wherein the 'free_memory' value consists of information from
two hypercalls. That is the XEN_SYSCTL_physinfo and XENMEM_get_outstanding_pages.
The free memory the host has available for guest is the difference between
the 'free_pages' (from XEN_SYSCTL_physinfo) and 'outstanding_pages'. As they
are two hypercalls many things can happen in between the execution of them.
This patch resolves this by eliminating the XENMEM_get_outstanding_pages

Resolution of a backend name to a domid needs to happen a little earlier

For example, if a domU is specified as a backend for a
disk and, as previously written, libxl__device_disk_setdefault() calls
libxl__resolve_domid() last, then disk->backend_domid still equals
LIBXL_TOOLSTACK_DOMID when libxl__device_disk_set_backend() is called.
This results in libxl__device_disk_set_backend() making an incorrect
attempt to validate the target by calling stat() on a file on dom0,
resulting in ERROR_INVAL (see libxl_device.c lines 239-248), which
prevents creation of the frontend domain.
Likewise, libxl__device_nic_setdefault() previously made use of
nic->backend_domid before it was set.

The commit a8a1f236a2 "libxl: Only call stat() when adding a disk if we
expect a device to exist." changed things to only stat the file when the phy
backend was explicitly requested. This broke the case where we are probing and
would normally be able to decide on the phy option.
Since the intention of that commit was to allow for backends with no explicit
file in dom0 (i.e. network remote backend such as ceph) the lowest impact fix
appears to be to make that explicit. It turns out that tap disk can also
potentially handle such paths.
The only backend which requires a local file/device is PHY but we need to
handle UNKNOWN too in order for subsequent probing to work. Note that it is
not possible to autoprobe the backend if the path is not a local object, so we
don't need to worry about autoprobing ceph etc.
This should probably be revisited to rationalize the probing.

This is a patch to forward-port a Xend behaviour. Xend writes IO ABI used for
all frontends. Blkfront before 2.6.26 relies on this behaviour otherwise guest
cannot boot when running in 32-on-64 mode. Blkfront after 2.6.26 writes that
node itself, in which case it's just an overwrite to an existing node which
should be OK.
In fact Xend writes the ABI for all frontends including console and vif. But
nowadays only old disk frontends rely on that behaviour so that we only write
the ABI for disk frontends in libxl, minimizing the impact.
