Jan Beulich eedecb3cf0 memory: fix XENMEM_exchange error handling
assign_pages() can fail due to the domain getting killed in parallel,
which should not result in a hypervisor crash.

Reported-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@citrix.com>

Also delete a redundant put_gfn() - all relevant paths leading to the
"fail" label already do this (and there are also paths where it was
plain wrong). All of the put_gfn()-s got introduced by 51032ca058
("Modify naming of queries into the p2m"), including the otherwise
unneeded initializer for k (with even a kind of misleading comment -
the compiler warning could actually have served as a hint that the use
is wrong).

This is CVE-2015-8339 + CVE-2015-8340 / XSA-159.

Jan Beulich 4a578b316e memory: split and tighten maximum order permitted in memops
Introduce and enforce separate limits for ordinary DomU, DomU with
pass-through device(s), control domain, and hardware domain.

The DomU defaults were determined based on what so far was allowed by
multipage_allocation_permitted().

The x86 hwdom default was chosen based on linux-2.6.18-xen.hg c/s
1102:82782f1361a9 indicating 2Mb is not enough, plus some slack.

The ARM hwdom default was chosen to allow 2Mb (order-9) mappings, plus
a little bit of slack.

This is CVE-2015-8338 / XSA-158.

Roger Pau Monne 0d0f28455d x86/libxc: add an arch domain config parameter to xc_domain_create
With the addition of HVMlite the hypervisor now always requires a non-null
arch domain config, which is different between HVM and PV guests.

Add a new parameter to xc_domain_create that contains a pointer to an arch
domain config. If the pointer is null, create a default arch domain config
based on guest type.

Fix all the in-tree callers to provide a null arch domain config in order to
mimic previous behaviour.

Jonathan Creekmore 68dc581354 build: fix clean to remove all *.o and .*.d files
In commit 8b6ef9c152, several files in
xen/common/compat were changed to be built using the Makefile in
xen/common, by appending the compat prefix to the object
files. Additionally, the xen/common/compat directory was removed from
the subdirs-y variable, so it is no longer visited by the clean
rule. This resulted in some object files and dependency files being
generated by inclusion into obj-y, but not cleaned because they lived in a
directory that was unvisited by the clean rules.

Since there is a desire for all of the object files and dependency files
to be cleaned, just search for all objects and dependency files and
delete them on clean. The previous method of only tracking with the
$(DEPS) and *.o in the clean rules had the disadvantage that, if the
configuration changed between a build and a clean, some of the
dependencies or objects could get left behind. This method does not have
the same disadvantage.

David Vrabel 78e24c269b evtchn: don't reuse ports that are still "busy"
When using the FIFO ABI a guest may close an event channel that is
still LINKED.  If this port is reused, subsequent events may be lost
because they may become pending on the wrong queue.

This could be fixed by requiring guests to only close event channels
that are not linked.  This is difficult since: a) irq cleanup in the
guest may be done in a context that cannot wait for the event to be
unlinked; b) the guest may attempt to rebind a PIRQ whose previous
close is still pending; and c) existing guests already have the
problematic behaviour.

Instead, simply check a port is not "busy" (i.e., it's not linked)
before reusing it.

Guests should still drain any queues for VCPUs that are being
offlined, or the port will become unusable until the VCPU is onlined
and starts processing events again.

David Vrabel cea357ba4b x86/ept: remove unnecessary sync after resolving misconfigured entries
When using EPT, type changes are done with the following steps:

1. Set entry as invalid (misconfigured) by settings a reserved memory
type.

2. Flush all EPT and combined translations (ept_sync_domain()).

3. Fixup misconfigured entries as required (on EPT_MISCONFIG vmexits or
when explicitly setting an entry.

Since resolve_misconfig() only updates entries that were misconfigured,
there is no need to invalidate any translations since the hardware
does not cache misconfigured translations (vol 3, section 28.3.2).

Remove the unnecessary (and very expensive) ept_sync_domain() calls).

Wei Liu c8eb0ec277 libxc: refactor memory allocation functions
There were some problems with the original memory allocation functions:
1. xc_dom_alloc_segment and xc_dom_alloc_pad ended up calling
   xc_dom_chk_alloc_pages while xc_dom_alloc_page open-coded everything.
2. xc_dom_alloc_pad didn't call dom->allocate.

Refactor the code so that:
1. xc_dom_alloc_{segment,pad,page} end up calling
   xc_dom_chk_alloc_pages.
2. xc_dom_chk_alloc_pages calls dom->allocate.

This way we avoid scattering dom->allocate over multiple locations and
open-coding.

Also change the return type of xc_dom_alloc_page to xen_pfn_t and return
an invalid pfn when xc_dom_chk_alloc_pages fails.

error value rather than a boolean, it's declaration is accordingly moved
into the 'checked' section in libxl_internal.h, and a comment is added to
clarify its semantics.

This patch also contains as small whitespace fix in the definition of

Paul Durrant b38d426ad0 x86/viridian: flush remote tlbs by hypercall
The Microsoft Hypervisor Top Level Functional Spec. (section 3.4) defines
two bits in CPUID leaf 0x40000004:EAX for the hypervisor to recommend
whether or not to issue a hypercall for local or remote TLB flush.

Whilst it's doubtful whether using a hypercall for local TLB flush would
be any more efficient than a specific INVLPG VMEXIT, a remote TLB flush
may well be more efficiently done. This is because the alternative
mechanism is to IPI all the vCPUs in question which (in the absence of
APIC virtualisation) will require emulation and scheduling of the vCPUs
only to have them immediately VMEXIT for local TLB flush.

This patch therefore adds a viridian option which, if selected, enables
the hypercall for remote TLB flush and implements it using ASID
invalidation for targetted vCPUs followed by an IPI only to the set of
CPUs that happened to be running a targetted vCPU (which may be the empty
set). The flush may be more severe than requested since the hypercall can
request flush only for a specific address space (CR3) but Xen neither
keeps a mapping of ASID to guest CR3 nor allows invalidation of a specific
ASID, but on a host with contended CPUs performance is still likely to
be better than a more specific flush using IPIs.

The implementation of the patch introduces per-vCPU viridian_init() and
viridian_deinit() functions to allow a scratch cpumask to be allocated.
This avoids needing to put this potentially large data structure on stack
during hypercall processing. It also modifies the hypercall input and
output bit-fields to allow a check for the 'fast' calling convention,
and a white-space fix in the definition of HVMPV_feature_mask (to remove
hard tabs).

Peng Fan 713b7e4ef2 public/event_channel.h: correct comment
According to definition of structure evtchn_alloc_unbound,
there is an entry "domid_t remote_dom", no "rdom". So
using "remote_dom" in comments instead of "rdom".

Daniel Kiper d380b35597 x86/boot: check for not allowed sections before linking
Currently check for not allowed sections is performed just after
compilation. However, if compilation succeeds and check fails then
second build will create xen.gz/xen.efi without any visible error.
This happens because %.o: %.c recipe created object file during first
run and make do not execute this recipe during second run. So, look
for not allowed sections before linking. This way check will be
executed every time.

Shuai Ruan c708181305 libxc: expose xsaves/xgetbv1/xsavec to hvm guest
This patch exposes xsaves/xgetbv1/xsavec to hvm guest.
The reserved bits of eax/ebx/ecx/edx must be cleaned up
when call cpuid(0dh) with leaf 1 or 2..63.

According to the spec the following bits must be reserved:
For leaf 1, bits 03-04/08-31 of ecx is reserved. Edx is reserved.
For leaf 2...63, bits 01-31 of ecx is reserved, Edx is reserved.

But as no XSS festures are currently supported, even in HVM guests,
for leaf 2...63, ecx should be zero at the moment.
