Olaf Hering 4b5059be62 xend: Only add cpuid and cpuid_check to sexpr once
tools/xend: Only add cpuid and cpuid_check to sexpr once

When converting a XendConfig object to sexpr, cpuid and cpuid_check
were being emitted twice in the resulting sexpr.  The first conversion
writes incorrect sexpr, causing parsing of the sexpr to fail when xend
is restarted and domain sexpr files in /var/lib/xend/domains/<dom-uuid>
are read and parsed.

This patch skips the first conversion, and uses only the custom
cpuid{_check} conversion methods called later.  It is not pretty, but
is the least invasive fix in this complex code.

Ian Campbell 1c38a1e937 xen: arm: separate guest user regs from internal guest state.
struct cpu_user_regs is currently used as both internal state
(specifically at the base of the stack) and a guest/toolstack
visible API (via struct vcpu_guest_context used by
XEN_DOMCTL_{g,s}etvcpucontext and VCPUOP_initialise).

This causes problems when we want to make the API 64-bit clean since
we don't really want to change the size of the on-stack struct.

So split into vcpu_guest_core_regs which is the API facing struct
and keep cpu_user_regs purely internal, translate between the two.

In the user API arrange for both 64- and 32-bit registers to be
included in a layout which does not differ depending on toolstack
architecture. Also switch to using the more formal banked register
names (e.g. with the _usr suffix) for clarity.

This is an ABI change. Note that the kernel doesn't currently use
this data structure so it affects the tools interface only.

This patch introduces support for two new parameters in libxl:

smbios_firmware=<path_to_smbios_structures_file>
acpi_firmware=<path_to_acpi_tables_file>

The changes are primarily in the domain building code where the firmware files
are read and passed to libxc for loading into the new guest. After the domain
building call to libxc, the addresses for the loaded blobs are returned and
written to xenstore.

LIBXL_HAVE_FIRMWARE_PASSTHROUGH is defined in libxl.h to allow users to
determine if the feature is present.

This patch also updates the xl.cfg man page with descriptions of the two new
parameters for firmware passthrough.

Ian Jackson 331a3b6ff0 tools/ocaml: oxenstored: Be more paranoid about ring reading
oxenstored makes use of the OCaml Xenbus bindings, in which the
function xs_ring_read in tools/ocaml/libs/xb/xs_ring_stubs.c is used
to read from the shared memory Xenstore ring.

This function does not correctly handle all possible (prod, cons)
states when MASK_XENSTORE_IDX(prod) > MASK_XENSTORE_IDX(cons).

The root cause is the use of the unmasked values of prod and cons to
calculate to_read.  If prod is set to an out-of-range value, the ring
peer can cause to_read to be too large or even negative.  This allows
the ring peer to force oxenstored to read and write out of range for
the buffers leading to a crash or possibly to privilege escalation.

Correct this by masking the values of cons and prod at the start, so
we only deal with masked values.  This makes the logic simpler, as
semantically inappropriate values of the upper bits of the ring
pointers are simply ignored.

The same vulnerability does not exist in the ring writer because the
only use made of the unmasked value is the check which prevents the
prod pointer overtaking the cons pointer.  A ring peer which defeats
this check will suffer only lost data.


However, additionally, precautions need to be taken to ensure that
req_cons and req_prod are only read once in each function.  Without
the use of volatile or some asm construct, the compiler can "prove"
that req_cons and req_prod do not change unexpectedly and is permitted
to "amplify" the read of (say) req_cons into two reads at different
times, giving two different values for use as cons, and then use the
two sources of cons interchangeably.  (The use of xen_mb() does not
forbid this.)

Therefore do the reads of req_cons and req_prod through a volatile
pointer in both xs_ring_read and xs_ring_write.

This is currently believed to be a theoretical vulnerability as we are
not aware of any compilers which amplify reads in this way.


This is a security issue, part of XSA-38 / CVE-2013-0215.

parts utilised, as explained here:
 http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/hypercall/include,public,xen.h.html#Func_HYPERVISOR_mmu_update

However, the actual parameter, i.e., the 'subject' field in
struct xc_mmu is declared as domid_t, which typedef-s to uint16_t.
This means we are never able to pass anything via the higher 16 bits
of 'foreigndom', which in turns may cause the hypercall to fail when
called on an actual foreign domain.

Ian Campbell d17eec3f89 tools+stubdom: install under /usr/local by default.
This is the defacto (or FHS mandated?) standard location for software
built from source, in order to avoid clashing with packaged software
which is installed under /usr/bin etc.

I think there is benefit in having Xen's install behave more like the
majority of other OSS software out there.

The major downside here is in the transition from 4.2 to 4.3 where
people who have built from source will innevitably discover breakage
because 4.3 no longer overwrites stuff in /usr like it used to so they
pickup old stale bits from /usr instead of new stuff from /usr/local.

Packages will use ./configure --prefix=/usr or whatever helper macro
their package manager gives them. I have confirmed that doing this
results in the same list of installed files as before this patch was
applied.

The hypervisor remains in /boot/ and there is no intention to move it.

Ian Jackson 5f5ef65bab libxl: fix stale timeout event callback race
Because there is not necessarily any lock held at the point the
application (eg, libvirt) calls libxl_osevent_occurred_timeout, in a
multithreaded program those calls may be arbitrarily delayed in
relation to other activities within the program.

Specifically this means when ->timeout_deregister returns, libxl does
not know whether it can safely dispose of the for_libxl value or
whether it needs to retain it in case of an in-progress call to
_occurred_timeout.

The interface could be fixed by requiring the application to make a
new call into libxl to say that the deregistration was complete.

However that new call would have to be threaded through the
application's event loop; this is complicated and some application
authors are likely not to implement it properly.  Furthermore the
easiest way to implement this facility in most event loops is to queue
up a time event for "now".

Shortcut all of this by having libxl always call timeout_modify
setting abs={0,0} (ie, ASAP) instead of timeout_deregister.  This will
cause the application to call _occurred_timeout.  When processing this
calldown we see that we were no longer actually interested and simply
throw it away.

Additionally, there is a race between _occurred_timeout and
->timeout_modify.  If libxl ever adjusts the deadline for a timeout
the application may already be in the process of calling _occurred, in
which case the situation with for_app's lifetime becomes very
complicated.  Therefore abolish libxl__ev_time_modify_{abs,rel} (which
have no callers) and promise to the application only ever to call
->timeout_modify with abs=={0,0}.  The application still needs to cope
with ->timeout_modify racing with its internal function which calls
_occurred_timeout.  Document this.

This is a forwards-compatible change for applications using the libxl
API, and will hopefully eliminate these races in callback-supplying
applications (such as libvirt) without the need for corresponding
changes to the application.  (It is possible that this might expose
bugs in applications, though, as previously libxl would never call
libxl_osevent_hooks->timeout_modify and now it never calls
->timeout_deregister).

For clarity, fold the body of time_register_finite into its one
remaining call site.  This makes the semantics of ev->infinite
slightly clearer.

Ian Jackson bc7e8a2a81 libxl: fix stale fd event callback race
Because there is not necessarily any lock held at the point the
application (eg, libvirt) calls libxl_osevent_occurred_timeout and
..._fd, in a multithreaded program those calls may be arbitrarily
delayed in relation to other activities within the program.

libxl therefore needs to be prepared to receive very old event
callbacks.  Arrange for this to be the case for fd callbacks.

This requires a new layer of indirection through a "hook nexus" struct
which can outlive the libxl__ev_foo.  Allocation and deallocation of
these nexi is mostly handled in the OSEVENT macros which wrap up
the application's callbacks.

Document the problem and the solution in a comment in libxl_event.c
just before the definition of struct libxl__osevent_hook_nexus.

There is still a race relating to libxl__osevent_occurred_timeout;
this will be addressed in the following patch.

Matthew Fioravante 1f44053686 stubdom: Add autoconf
Stub domains now use autoconf to build.
This configure script can enable or disable specific domains
and also specify custom download locations for stubdom library
packages. See ./configure --help for details.

C and Caml are disabled by default. vtpm-stubdom is conditional
on the presense of cmake.

Rename vtpmmgrdom to vtpmmgr-stubdom

Also update .*ignore
