that you can't stash a C uint32_t in an OCaml int.

In the meantime, Xen does have proper default/max featuresets, and xen-cpuid
can even get them via the XEN_SYSCTL_cpu_policy_* interface, but only knows

I was really hoping to avoid this, but its now too late in the 4.17 freeze and

The in-Xen calculations for assistance capabilities are buggy. For the

Introduce a new per-domain creation x86 specific flag to
select whether hardware assisted virtualization should be used for
x{2}APIC.
A per-domain option is added to xl in order to select the usage of
x{2}APIC hardware assisted virtualization, as well as a global
configuration option.
Having all APIC interaction exit to Xen for emulation is slow and can
induce much overhead. Hardware can speed up x{2}APIC by decoding the
APIC access and providing a VM exit with a more specific exit reason
than a regular EPT fault or by altogether avoiding a VM exit.
On the other hand, being able to disable x{2}APIC hardware assisted
virtualization can be useful for testing and debugging purposes.
Note:
- vmx_install_vlapic_mapping doesn't require modifications regardless
of whether the guest has "Virtualize APIC accesses" enabled or not,
i.e., setting the APIC_ACCESS_ADDR VMCS field is fine so long as
virtualize_apic_accesses is supported by the CPU.
- Both per-domain and global assisted_x{2}apic options are not part of
the migration stream, unless explicitly set in the respective
configuration files. Default settings of assisted_x{2}apic done
internally by the toolstack, based on host capabilities at create
time, are not migrated.

Add XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_X86_ASSISTED_XAPIC and
XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_X86_ASSISTED_X2APIC to report accelerated xAPIC and
x2APIC, on x86 hardware. This is so that xAPIC and x2APIC virtualization
can subsequently be enabled on a per-domain basis.
No such features are currently implemented on AMD hardware.
HW assisted xAPIC virtualization will be reported if HW, at the
minimum, supports virtualize_apic_accesses as this feature alone means
that an access to the APIC page will cause an APIC-access VM exit. An
APIC-access VM exit provides a VMM with information about the access
causing the VM exit, unlike a regular EPT fault, thus simplifying some
internal handling.
HW assisted x2APIC virtualization will be reported if HW supports
virtualize_x2apic_mode and, at least, either apic_reg_virt or
virtual_intr_delivery. This also means that
sysctl follows the conditionals in vmx_vlapic_msr_changed().
For that purpose, also add an arch-specific "capabilities" parameter
to struct xen_sysctl_physinfo.
Note that this interface is intended to be compatible with AMD so that
AVIC support can be introduced in a future patch. Unlike Intel that
has multiple controls for APIC Virtualization, AMD has one global
'AVIC Enable' control bit, so fine-graining of APIC virtualization
control cannot be done on a common interface.

Introduce an option to allow selecting a behavior similar to the pre
Xen 4.15 one for accesses to MSRs not explicitly handled. Since commit
84e848fd7a and 322ec7c89f accesses to MSRs not explicitly
handled by Xen result in the injection of a #GP to the guest. This
is a behavior change since previously a #GP was only injected if
accessing the MSR on the real hardware would also trigger a #GP, or if
the attempted to be set bits wouldn't match the hardware values (for
PV). The reasons for not leaking hardware MSR values and injecting a
#GP are fully valid, so the solution proposed here should be
considered a temporary workaround until all the required MSRs are
properly handled.
This seems to be problematic for some guests, so introduce an option
to fallback to this kind of legacy behavior without leaking the
underlying MSR values to the guest.
When the option is set, for both PV and HVM don't inject a #GP to the
guest on MSR read if reading the underlying MSR doesn't result in a
#GP, do the same for writes and simply discard the value to be written
on that case.
Note that for guests restored or migrated from previous Xen versions
the option is enabled by default, in order to keep a compatible
MSR behavior. Such compatibility is done at the libxl layer, to avoid
higher-level toolstacks from having to know the details about this flag.

If the value of the passthrough configuration option is 'sync_pt' then

default according to the type of domain and hardware support.

This patch introduces a common domain creation flag to determine whether
the domain is permitted to make use of the IOMMU. Currently the flag is
always set for both dom0 and any domU created by libxl if the IOMMU is
globally enabled (i.e. iommu_enabled == 1). sanitise_domain_config() is
modified to reject the flag if !iommu_enabled.
A new helper function, is_iommu_enabled(), is added to test the flag and
iommu_domain_init() will return immediately if !is_iommu_enabled(). This is
slightly different to the previous behaviour based on !iommu_enabled where
the call to arch_iommu_domain_init() was made regardless, however it appears
that this call was only necessary to initialize the dt_devices list for ARM
such that iommu_release_dt_devices() can be called unconditionally by
domain_relinquish_resources(). Adding a simple check of is_iommu_enabled()
into iommu_release_dt_devices() keeps this unconditional call working.
No functional change should be observed with this patch applied.
Subsequent patches will allow the toolstack to control whether use of the
IOMMU is enabled for a domain.
NOTE: The introduction of the is_iommu_enabled() helper function might
seem excessive but its use is expected to increase with subsequent
patches. Also, having iommu_domain_init() bail before calling
arch_iommu_domain_init() is not strictly necessary, but I think the
consequent addition of the call to is_iommu_enabled() in
iommu_release_dt_devices() makes the code clearer.

set_max_evtchn is somewhat weird. It was introduced with the event_fifo work,
but has never been used. Still, it is a bounding on resources consumed by the
event channel infrastructure, and should be part of createdomain, rather than
editable after the fact.
Drop XEN_DOMCTL_set_max_evtchn completely (including XSM hooks and libxc
wrappers), and retain the functionality in XEN_DOMCTL_createdomain.

This function is entirely internal to xenctrl stubs, and serves only to
convert the uuid string to an integer array (making 16 memory allocations as
it goes), while the C stubs turns the integer array back into a binary array.
Instead, pass the string all the way down into C, and have sscanf() unpack it
directly into a xen_domain_handle_t object.

c/s 4ddf474e2 "tools/xen-mceinj: Pass in GPA when injecting through
MSR_MCI_ADDR" removed the remaining user of hypercall.
It has been listed as broken, deprecated and wont-fix since XSA-74, so take
this opportunity to remove it completely.

There are no current users which I can locate. One piece of xend which didn't
move forwards into xl/libxl is this:
# Configure host CPUID consistency checks, which must be satisfied for this
# VM to be allowed to run on this host's processor type:
#cpuid_check=[ '1:ecx=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1xxxxx' ]
# - Host must have VMX feature flag set
The implementation of xc_cpuid_check() is conceptually broken. Dom0's view of
CPUID is not the approprite view to check, and will be wrong in the presence
of CPUID masking/faulting, and for HVM-based toolstack domains.
If it turns out that the functionality is required, it should be implemented
in terms of XEN_SYSCTL_get_cpuid_policy to use the proper CPUID view.

The alternative backend (a xen-api/xapi shim) is no longer around and
so this stuff is now just baggage which is getting in the way of
refactoring libxenctrl.
Nested virt probably suffices for this use case now.
This was the last component of the osdep infrastructure, so all the
dynamic loading etc stuff all falls away too.
As part of this I was forced to investigate the twisty
xc_map_foreign_* maze, which I have added to the
toolstack-library-apis doc in the hopes of doing something sensible.
NetBSD and Solaris now call xc_map_foreign_bulk_compat directly from
their xc_map_foreign_bulk, which could have been achieved by using
some ifdefs around a renamed function. This will fall out in the wash
when these functions move to their own library.
