no_irq_type handlers are used when an IRQ does not have action attached.
This is useful to detect misconfiguration between the interrupt
controller and the software.
Currently, all the handlers will do nothing on spurious interrupt. This
means if such interrupt is received, the priority of the interrupt will
not be dropped and the processor will lose the ability to receive any
interrupt lower or equal to the priority.
Spurious interrupt can happen while releasing interrupt assigned to
guest (happen during domain destruction). The interaction is roughly
CPU0 CPU1
release_guest_irq(A)
spin_lock(&desc->lock)
gic_remove_irq_from_guest
receive IRQ A
spin_lock(&desc->lock)
desc->handler->shutdown()
set_bit(IRQ_DISABLED)
desc->handler = &no_irq_type
spin_unlock(&desc->lock)
desc->handler->end();
spin_unlock(&desc->lock)
Because the no_irq_type.end callback is implemented as a NOP, CPU1 will
not drop the priority of the interrupt. So the CPU will not be able to
receive any interrupt route to any guest afterwards.
The problem can be prevented by dropping the priority and deactivating
the interrupt via gic_hw_ops->gic_host_irq->end().
Note that, for now, interrupt used by Xen are safe because it is not
using no_irq_type on release.

libxl runs the command "cont" later during guest creation; i.e. it
is expecting that QEMU would not do any emulation. Use the "-S"
command option to achieve this.
Unfortunately, when QEMU is started with "-S", it won't write QEMU's
readiness into xenstore. So only activate this option when we have a
QEMU startup notification via QMP available, i.e. when dm_restrict
is activated.
The -S option has the side-effect of suppressing the startup
notification via xenstore: libxl will only get the notification via
QMP.
It is important to rely only on QMP for notification when we have
QMP available, as (due to a qemu bug) not waiting for that QMP
notification may result in the QMP socket becoming blocked, so that
QEMU stops responding to new connections even if no existing ones
are active.
When the QEMU bug happens, the actions taken by both libxl and QEMU
are roughly as follows:
- libxl connects and handshakes with QEMU, then sends the
cmd "query-status".
- QEMU prepares and maybe tries to send the response,
while also writing "running" into xenstore.
- libxl sees via xenstore that QEMU is running and disconnects from the
QMP socket before receiving the response from the cmd.
=> The QMP socket (monitor) is thereby blocked and will never reply
to commands on new connections.
This is due to QEMU only responding to one command at a time, and
suspending its monitor (QMP) until the command has been processed and
sent. Disconnecting from the socket doesn't unsuspend the monitor. The
race described here is very likely to happen with QEMU 3.1.50 (during
3.2 development), but can be reproduced with QEMU 3.1.

Before the cpuid_policy logic came along, %cr4/EFER auditing on migrate-in was
complicated, because at that point no CPUID information had been set for the
guest. Auditing against the host CPUID was better than nothing, but not
ideal.
Similarly at the time, PVHv1 lacked the "CPUID passed through from hardware"
behaviour with PV guests had, and PVH dom0 had to be special-cased to be able
to boot.
Order of information in the migration stream is still an issue (hence we still
need to keep the restore parameter to cope with a nested virt corner case for
%cr4), but since Xen 4.9, all domains start with a suitable CPUID policy,
which is a more appropriate upper bound than host_cpuid_policy.

The progression of multi-vcpu support in Xen (originally a single pointer,
then an embedded d->vcpu[] array, then a dynamically allocated array) has
resulted in a large quantity of ad-hoc code for looking a vcpu up by id, and a
large number of ways that the toolstack can cause Xen to trip over a NULL
pointer. Some of this has been addressed in Xen 4.12, and work is ongoing.
Another property of looking a vcpu up by id is that it is frequently done in
unprivileged hypercall context, making it an attractive target for speculative
sidechannel attacks.
Introduce a helper to do the lookup correctly, and without speculative
interference. For performance reasons, it is useful not to have an smp_rmb()
in this helper on ARM, and luckily this is safe to do, because of the
serialisation offered by the global domlist lock.

The sync vm_event handling path on x86/VMX is (roughly):

CLONE_NEWIPC was introduced in Linux 2.6.19, on the 29th of November
2006, which was 12 years, 1 month, and 14 days ago.
Nevertheless apparently some people are trying to build Xen on systems
whose kernel headers are that old. Placate these people by providing
a fallback #define for CLONE_NEWIPC.
The actual binary value will of course remain constant, because of the
kernel API promise, so this is and will be correct on all platforms
where the CLONE_NEWIPC is supported. (Even if for some reason we miss
the right #includes.)
Of course at runtime this value will not work on older kernels. It
will be rejected as unknown by anything except some pre-2.6.18
kernels. On those kernels we do not want to support dm_restrict, and
an attempt to use it will fail. It is OK for the failure to be a
messy EINVAL syscall failure. (The IPC namespace unshare is necessary
to avoid a suborned deprivileged qemu from causing trouble with shm,
sem, etc.)
On the very old kernels, the feature is totally out of scope.

blocking people who aren't using this feature.)
