The name libxl__xs_write() suggests something taking a buffer and length,
akin to write(2), whereas the semantics of the function are actually more

This patch is a textual substitution of libxl__xs_write with

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: -device ide-hd,bus=ahci0.0,unit=0,drive=ahcidisk-0:

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.

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

Although we already have 'gfx_passthru' in b_info, this doesn't suffice
after we want to handle IGD specifically. Now we define a new field of
type, gfx_passthru_kind, to indicate we're trying to pass IGD. Actually
this means we can benefit this to support other specific devices just
by extending gfx_passthru_kind. And then we can cooperate with
gfx_passthru to address IGD cases as follows:
gfx_passthru = 0 => sets build_info.u.gfx_passthru to false
gfx_passthru = 1 => sets build_info.u.gfx_passthru to true and
build_info.u.gfx_passthru_kind to DEFAULT
gfx_passthru = "igd" => sets build_info.u.gfx_passthru to true
and build_info.u.gfx_passthru_kind to IGD
Here if gfx_passthru_kind = DEFAULT, we will call
libxl__is_igd_vga_passthru() to check if we're hitting that table to need
to pass that option to qemu. But if gfx_passthru_kind = "igd" we always
force to pass that.
And "-gfx_passthru" is just introduced to work for qemu-xen-traditional
so we should get this away from libxl__build_device_model_args_new() in

While building a VM, HVM domain builder provides struct hvm_info_table{}
to help hvmloader. Currently it includes two fields to construct guest
e820 table by hvmloader, low_mem_pgend and high_mem_pgend. So we should
check them to fix any conflict with RDM.
RMRR can reside in address space beyond 4G theoretically, but we never
see this in real world. So in order to avoid breaking highmem layout
we don't solve highmem conflict. Note this means highmem rmrr could still
be supported if no conflict.
But in the case of lowmem, RMRR probably scatter the whole RAM space.
Especially multiple RMRR entries would worsen this to lead a complicated
memory layout. And then its hard to extend hvm_info_table{} to work
hvmloader out. So here we're trying to figure out a simple solution to
avoid breaking existing layout. So when a conflict occurs,
#1. Above a predefined boundary (2G)
- move lowmem_end below reserved region to solve conflict;
#2. Below a predefined boundary (2G)
- Check strict/relaxed policy.
"strict" policy leads to fail libxl. Note when both policies
are specified on a given region, 'strict' is always preferred.
"relaxed" policy issue a warning message and also mask this entry INVALID
to indicate we shouldn't expose this entry to hvmloader.
Note later we need to provide a parameter to set that predefined boundary
dynamically.

For LIBXL_VGA_INTERFACE_TYPE_STD + CIRRUS video_memkb is always at
least 4MB. However if LIBXL_VGA_INTERFACE_TYPE_STD is selected the
video_memkb defaults to 0, resulting in a stubdom which is 4MB smaller

If hdtype=ahci adds ich9 disk controller in ahci mode and uses it with
upstream qemu to emulate disks instead of ide.
It doesn't support cdroms which still using ide (cdroms will use
"-device ide-cd" as new qemu parameter)
Ahci requires new qemu parameter but for now other emulated disks cases
remains with old ones (I did it in other patch, not needed by this one)
I did it as libxl parameter disabled by default to avoid possible
problems:
- with save/restore/migration (restoring with ahci a domU that was with
ide instead)
- windows < 8 without pv drivers (a registry key change is needed for
AHCI<->IDE change FWIK to avoid possible blue screen)
- windows XP or older that many not support ahci by default.
Setting AHCI with libxl parameter and default to disabled seems the best
solution.
AHCI increase hvm domUs boot performance. On linux hvm domU I saw up to
only 20% of the previous total boot time, whereas boot time decrease a
lot on W7 domUs for most of boots I have done. Small difference in boot
time compared to ide mode on W8 and newer (probably other xen

v4: New patch in this version of the series.
The snippet to destroy stubdom and the callback were added in 1fc3aeb3
("libxl: use new QEMU xenstore protocol"). The intention was to destroy
stubdom when it is not responsive. That approach is problematic because
rc is not propagate back to sdss->callback, hence the guest is leaked.
The solution is simple. The destruction of stubdom can be done later in
sdss->callback. That code path already does the right thing to destroy
both the guest and the stubdom that serves the guest.

On ARM the virtual GIC may differ between each guest (emulated GIC version,
number of SPIs...). This information is already known at the domain creation
and can never change.
For now only the gic_version is set. In the long run, there will be more
parameters such as the number of SPIs. All will be required to be set at the
same time.
A new arch-specific structure arch_domainconfig has been created, the x86
one doesn't have any specific configuration, for now, a dummy structure
(C-spec compliant) has been created.
Some external tools (qemu, xenstore) may be required to create a domain.
Rather than asking them to take care of the arch-specific domain
configuration, let the current function (xc_domain_create) chose a
default configuration and introduce a new one (xc_domain_create_config).
This patch also drops the previously introduced DOMCTL arm_configure_domain

By default qemu will try to create some sort of backend for the
emulated VGA device, either SDL or VNC.
However when the user specifies sdl=0 and vnc=0 in their configuration
libxl was not explicitly disabling either backend, which could lead to
one unexpectedly running.
If either sdl=1 or vnc=1 is configured then both before and after this
change only the backends which are explicitly enabled are configured,
i.e. this issue only occurs when all backends are supposed to have
been disabled.
This affects qemu-xen and qemu-xen-traditional differently.
If qemu-xen was compiled with SDL support then this would result in an
SDL window being opened if $DISPLAY is valid, or a failure to start
the guest if not. Passing "-display none" to qemu before any further
-sdl options disables this default behaviour and ensures that SDL is
only started if the libxl configuration demands it.
If qemu-xen was compiled without SDL support then qemu would instead
start a VNC server listening on ::1 (IPv6 localhost) or 127.0.0.1
(IPv4 localhost) with IPv6 preferred if available. Explicitly pass
"-vnc none" when vnc is not enabled in the libxl configuration to
remove this possibility.
qemu-xen-traditional would never start a vnc backend unless asked.
However by default it will start an SDL backend, the way to disable
this is to pass a -vnc option. In other words passing "-vnc none" will
disable both vnc and sdl by default. sdl can then be reenabled if
configured by subsequent use of the -sdl option.
Tested with both qemu-xen and qemu-xen-traditional built with SDL
support and:
xl cr # defaults
xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0
xl cr sdl=1 vnc=0
xl cr sdl=0 vnc=1
xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0 vga=\"none\"
xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0 nographic=1
with both valid and invalid $DISPLAY.

At the moment libxl unconditinally passes the underlying file format
to qemu in the device string. However, when tapdisk is in use,
tapdisk handles the underlying format and presents qemu with
effectively a raw disk. When qemu looks at the tapdisk block device
and doesn't find the image format it was looking for, it will fail.
This effectively means that tapdisk cannot be used with HVM domains at
the moment except for raw files.
Instead, if we're using a tapdisk backend, tell qemu to use a raw file
format.

If you add enough PCI devices then all mmio may not fit below 4G
which may not be the layout the user wanted. This allows you to
increase the below 4G address space that PCI devices can use and
therefore in more cases not have any mmio that is above 4G.
There are real PCI cards that do not support mmio over 4G, so if you
want to emulate them precisely, you may also need to increase the
space below 4G for them. There are drivers for these cards that also
do not work if they have their mmio space mapped above 4G.
This allows growing the MMIO hole to the size needed.

private xen executables. Other places create their own, similar
libexecdir path as $prefix/lib/xen/*.
Additional two other variables are used to describe similar paths:
PRIVATE_BINDIR and PRIVATE_PREFIX
The autoconf documentation refers to libexec as a directory for
executables and stuff which is called by other programs, not by the
user.
Adjust all places that want libexecdir as a target path. LIBEXEC refers
now to the base directory. Three convenience variables are used to refer
to paths to private binaries, libs and include files.
In the systemd files LIBEXEC_BIN is substituted, so this variable has to
be present in autoconf. All other variables are expanded in Paths.mk
because they are only used in Makefiles.
Most users of LIBEXEC are updated to use LIBEXEC_BIN because that is
what they want.
Users of PRIVATE_BINDIR are updated to use LIBEXEC_BIN because that is
what they want. PRIVATE_BINDIR and PRIVATE_PREFIX usage is removed by
this patch, in favour of LIBXEC_BIN and LIBEXEC
An internal libxl function was removed. A single helper to retrieve
LIBEXEC_BIN remains.
As suggested by the autoconf documentation, configure appends the
package name to LIBEXEC to make sure the provided directory really
refers to xen. This makes sure "make uninstall" preserves the real
libexecdir.
