With MMU_UPDATE, a PV guest can make changes to higher level pagetables. This
is safe from Xen's point of view (as the update only affects guest mappings),
and the guest is required to flush (if necessary) after making updates.
However, Xen's use of linear pagetables (UPDATE_VA_MAPPING, GNTTABOP_map,
writeable pagetables, etc.) is an implementation detail outside of the
API/ABI.
Changes in the paging structure require invalidations in the linear pagetable
range for subsequent accesses into the linear pagetables to access non-stale
mappings. Xen must provide suitable flushing to prevent intermixed guest
actions from accidentally accessing/modifying the wrong pagetable.
For all L2 and higher modifications, flush the TLB. PV guests cannot create
L2 or higher entries with the Global bit set, so no mappings established in
the linear range can be global. (This could in principle be an order 39 flush
starting at LINEAR_PT_VIRT_START, but no such mechanism exists in practice.)
Express the necessary flushes as a set of booleans which accumulate across the
operation. Comment the flushing logic extensively.
This is XSA-286.

(cherry picked from commit 16a20963b3)
c/s 9d1d31ad94 "x86: slightly reduce Meltdown band-aid overhead" removed the
use of Global TLB flushes on the Xen entry path, but added a FLUSH_TLB_GLOBAL
to the L4 path in do_mmu_update().
However, this was unnecessary.
It is the guests responsibility to perform appropriate TLB flushing if the L4
modification altered an established mapping in a flush-relevant way. In this
case, an MMUEXT_OP hypercall will follow. The case which Xen needs to cover
is when new mappings are created, and the resync on the exit-to-guest path
covers this correctly.
There is a corner case with multiple vCPUs in hypercalls at the same time,
which 9d1d31ad94 changed, and this patch changes back to its original XPTI
behaviour.
Architecturally, established TLB entries can continue to be used until the
broadcast flush has completed. Therefore, even with concurrent hypercalls,
the guest cannot depend on older mappings not being used until an MMUEXT_OP
hypercall completes. Xen's implementation of guest-initiated flushes will
take correct effect on top of an in-progress hypercall, picking up new mapping
setting before the other vCPU's MMUEXT_OP completes.
Note: The correctness of this change is not impacted by whether XPTI uses
global mappings or not. Correctness there depends on the behaviour of Xen on
the entry/exit paths when switching two/from the XPTI "shadow" pagetables.
This is (not really) XSA-286 (but necessary to simplify the logic).

(cherry picked from commit 055e1c3a3d)
ACPI specification contains statements describing memory marked with regular
"ACPI data" type as reclaimable by the guest. Although the guest shouldn't
really do it if it wants kexec or similar functionality to work, there
could still be ambiguities in treating these regions as potentially regular
RAM.
One such example is SeaBIOS which currently reports "ACPI data" regions as
RAM to the guest in its e801 call. Which it might have the right to do as any
user of this is expected to be ACPI unaware. But a QEMU bootloader later seems
to ignore that fact and is instead using e801 to find a place for initrd which
causes the tables to be erased. While arguably QEMU bootloader or SeaBIOS need
to be fixed / improved here, that is just one example of the potential problems
from using a reclaimable memory type.
Flip the type to "ACPI NVS" which doesn't have this ambiguity in it and is
described by the spec as non-reclaimable (so cannot ever be treated like RAM).

Beside C1 and C1E, the exit latency of C6 was measured

by _CST is much smaller than the one we measured(128us). This

map_pages_to_xen will attempt to coalesce mappings into 2MiB and 1GiB
superpages if possible, to maximize TLB efficiency. This means both
replacing superpage entries with smaller entries, and replacing
smaller entries with superpages.
Unfortunately, while some potential races are handled correctly,
others are not. These include:
1. When one processor modifies a sub-superpage mapping while another
processor replaces the entire range with a superpage.
Take the following example:
Suppose L3[N] points to L2. And suppose we have two processors, A and
B.
* A walks the pagetables, get a pointer to L2.
* B replaces L3[N] with a 1GiB mapping.
* B Frees L2
* A writes L2[M] #
This is race exacerbated by the fact that virt_to_xen_l[21]e doesn't
handle higher-level superpages properly: If you call virt_xen_to_l2e
on a virtual address within an L3 superpage, you'll either hit a BUG()
(most likely), or get a pointer into the middle of a data page; same
with virt_xen_to_l1 on a virtual address within either an L3 or L2
superpage.
So take the following example:
* A reads pl3e and discovers it to point to an L2.
* B replaces L3[N] with a 1GiB mapping
* A calls virt_to_xen_l2e() and hits the BUG_ON() #
2. When two processors simultaneously try to replace a sub-superpage
mapping with a superpage mapping.
Take the following example:
Suppose L3[N] points to L2. And suppose we have two processors, A and B,
both trying to replace L3[N] with a superpage.
* A walks the pagetables, get a pointer to pl3e, and takes a copy ol3e pointing to L2.
* B walks the pagetables, gets a pointre to pl3e, and takes a copy ol3e pointing to L2.
* A writes the new value into L3[N]
* B writes the new value into L3[N]
* A recursively frees all the L1's under L2, then frees L2
* B recursively double-frees all the L1's under L2, then double-frees L2 #
Fix this by grabbing a lock for the entirety of the mapping update
operation.
Rather than grabbing map_pgdir_lock for the entire operation, however,
repurpose the PGT_locked bit from L3's page->type_info as a lock.
This means that rather than locking the entire address space, we
"only" lock a single 512GiB chunk of hypervisor address space at a
time.
There was a proposal for a lock-and-reverify approach, where we walk
the pagetables to the point where we decide what to do; then grab the
map_pgdir_lock, re-verify the information we collected without the
lock, and finally make the change (starting over again if anything had
changed). Without being able to guarantee that the L2 table wasn't
freed, however, that means every read would need to be considered
potentially unsafe. Thinking carefully about that is probably
something that wants to be done on public, not under time pressure.

hvm_ud_intercept() and hvm_emulate_one_vm_event() can get invoked for
insns requiring one or more continuations, and at least in principle
hvm_emulate_one_mmio() could, too. Without proper setting of the field,
handle_hvm_io_completion() will do nothing completion-wise, and in
particular the missing re-invocation of the insn emulation paths will
lead to emulation caching not getting disabled in due course, causing

Similar considerations go for the clearing of vio->mmio_access, which
gets moved as well.
Additionally all updating of vio->mmio_* now gets done dependent upon
the new completion value, rather than hvm_ioreq_needs_completion()'s
return value. This is because it is the completion chosen which controls
what path will be taken when handling the completion, not the simple
boolean return value. In particular, PIO completion doesn't involve
going through the insn emulator, and hence emulator state ought to get
cleared early (or it won't get cleared at all).
The new logic, besides allowing for a caller override for the
continuation type to be set (for VMX real mode emulation), will also
avoid setting an MMIO completion when a simpler PIO one will do. This
is a minor optimization only as a side effect - the behavior is strictly
needed at least for hvm_ud_intercept(), as only memory accesses can
successfully complete through handle_mmio(). Care of course needs to be
taken to correctly deal with "mixed" insns (doing both MMIO and PIO at
the same time, i.e. INS/OUTS). For this, hvmemul_validate() now latches
whether the insn being emulated is a memory access, as this information
is no longer easily available at the point where we want to consume it.
Note that the presence of non-NULL .validate fields in the two ops
structures in hvm_emulate_one_mmio() was really necessary even before
the changes here: Without this, passing non-NULL as middle argument to
hvm_emulate_init_once() is meaningless.
The restrictions on when the #UD intercept gets actually enabled are why
it was decided that this is not a security issue:
- the "hvm_fep" option to enable its use is a debugging option only,
- for the cross-vendor case is considered experimental, even if
unfortunately SUPPORT.md doesn't have an explicit statement about
this.
The other two affected functions are
- hvm_emulate_one_vm_event(), used for introspection,
- hvm_emulate_one_mmio(), used for Dom0 only,
which aren't qualifying this as needing an XSA either.

The recording of d->max_evtchns in evtchn_2l_init(), in particular with
the limited set of callers of the function, is insufficient. Neither for
PV nor for HVM guests the bitness is known at domain_create() time, yet
the upper bound in 2-level mode depends upon guest bitness. Recording
too high a limit "allows" x86 32-bit domains to open not properly usable
event channels, management of which (inside Xen) would then result in
corruption of the shared info and vCPU info structures.
Keep the upper limit dynamic for the 2-level case, introducing a helper
function to retrieve the effective limit. This helper is now supposed to
be private to the event channel code. The used in do_poll() and
domain_dump_evtchn_info() weren't consistent with port uses elsewhere
and hence get switched to port_is_valid().
Furthermore FIFO mode's setup_ports() gets adjusted to loop only up to
the prior ABI limit, rather than all the way up to the new one.
Finally a word on the change to do_poll(): Accessing ->max_evtchns
without holding a suitable lock was never safe, as it as well as

There is at least one path (SYSENTER with NT set, Xen converts to #GP) which
ends up injecting the #GP fault twice, first in compat_sysenter(), and then a
second time in compat_test_all_events(), due to the stale TBF_EXCEPTION left
in TRAPBOUNCE_flags.
The guest kernel sees the second fault first, which is a kernel level #GP
pointing at the head of the #GP handler, and is therefore a userspace
trigger-able DoS.
This particular bug has bitten us several times before, so rearrange
{compat_,}create_bounce_frame() to clobber TRAPBOUNCE on success, rather than
leaving this task to one area of code which isn't used uniformly.
Other scenarios which might result in a double injection (e.g. two calls
directly to compat_create_bounce_frame) will now crash the guest, which is far
more obvious than letting the kernel run with corrupt state.

To avoid ports potentially becoming invalid behind the back of certain
other functions (due to ->max_evtchn shrinking) because of
- a guest invoking evtchn_reset() and from a 2nd vCPU opening new
channels in parallel (see also XSA-343),
- alloc_unbound_xen_event_channel() produced channels living above the
2-level range (see also XSA-342),
drop the max_evtchns check from port_is_valid(). For a port for which
the function once returned "true", the returned value may not turn into
"false" later on. The function's result may only depend on bounds which
can only ever grow (which is the case for d->valid_evtchns).
This also eliminates a false sense of safety, utilized by some of the
users (see again XSA-343): Without a suitable lock held, d->max_evtchns
may change at any time, and hence deducing that certain other operations
are safe when port_is_valid() returned true is not legitimate. The
opportunities to abuse this may get widened by the change here
(depending on guest and host configuration), but will be taken care of
by the other XSA.
This is XSA-338.

When assigned to less trusted or un-trusted guests, devices may change
state behind our backs (they may e.g. get reset by means we may not know
about). Therefore we should avoid reading BARs from hardware once a
device is no longer owned by Dom0. Furthermore when we can't read a BAR,
or when we read zero, we shouldn't instead use the caller provided
address unless that caller can be trusted.
Re-arrange the logic in msix_capability_init() such that only Dom0 (and
only if the device isn't DomU-owned yet) or calls through
PHYSDEVOP_prepare_msix will actually result in the reading of the
respective BAR register(s). Additionally do so only as long as in-use
table entries are known (note that invocation of PHYSDEVOP_prepare_msix
counts as a "pseudo" entry). In all other uses the value already
recorded will get used instead.
Clear the recorded values in _pci_cleanup_msix() as well as on the one
affected error path. (Adjust this error path to also avoid blindly
disabling MSI-X when it was enabled on entry to the function.)
While moving around variable declarations (in many cases to reduce their

The current vPT code will migrate the emulated timers between vCPUs
(change the pt->vcpu field) while just holding the destination lock,
either from create_periodic_time or pt_adjust_global_vcpu_target if
the global target is adjusted. Changing the periodic_timer vCPU field
in this way creates a race where a third party could grab the lock in
the unlocked region of pt_adjust_global_vcpu_target (or before
create_periodic_time performs the vcpu change) and then release the
lock from a different vCPU, creating a locking imbalance.
Introduce a per-domain rwlock in order to protect periodic_time
migration between vCPU lists. Taking the lock in read mode prevents
any timer from being migrated to a different vCPU, while taking it in
write mode allows performing migration of timers across vCPUs. The
per-vcpu locks are still used to protect all the other fields from the
periodic_timer struct.
Note that such migration shouldn't happen frequently, and hence
there's no performance drop as a result of such locking.

Xen has cpu_has_fp/cpu_has_simd to detect whether the CPU supports
FP/SIMD or not. But currently, these two MACROs only consider value 0
of ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.FP/SIMD as FP/SIMD features enabled. But for CPUs
that support FP/SIMD and half-precision floating-point arithmetic, the
ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.FP/SIMD are 1 (see Arm ARM DDI0487F.b, D13.2.64).
For these CPUs, xen will treat them as no FP/SIMD support, the
vfp_save/restore_state will not take effect.
From the TRM documents of Cortex-A75/A76/N1, we know these CPUs support
basic Advanced SIMD/FP and half-precision floating-point arithmetic. In
this case, on N1/A76/A75 platforms, Xen will always miss the floating
pointer registers save/restore. If different vCPUs are running on the
same pCPU, the floating pointer registers will be corrupted randomly.
This patch fixes Xen on these new cores.

(cherry picked from commit 858c0be8c2)
There are multiple bugs with the existing implementation.
On AMD CPUs prior to Zen2, loading a NUL segment selector doesn't clear the
segment base, which is a problem for 64bit code which typically expects to use
a NUL %fs/%gs selector.
On a context switch from any PV vcpu, to a 64bit PV vcpu with an %fs/%gs
selector which faults, the fixup logic loads NUL, and the guest is entered at
the failsafe callback with the stale base.
Alternatively, a PV context switch sequence of 64 (NUL, non-zero base) =>
32 (NUL) => 64 (NUL, zero base) will similarly cause Xen to enter the guest
with a stale base.
Both of these corner cases manifest as state corruption in the final vcpu.
However, damage is limited to to 64bit code expecting to use Thread Local
Storage with a base pointer of 0, which doesn't occur by default.
The context switch logic is extremely complicated, and is attempting to
optimise away loading a NUL selector (which is fast), or writing a 64bit base
of 0 (which is rare). Furthermore, it fails to respect Linux's ABI with
userspace, which manifests as userspace state corruption as far as Linux is
concerned.
Always restore all selector and base state, in all cases.
Leave a large comment explaining hardware behaviour, and the new ABI
expectations. Update the comments in the public headers.
Drop all "segment preloading" to handle the AMD corner case. It was never
anything but a waste of time for %ds/%es, and isn't needed now that %fs/%gs
bases are unconditionally written for 64bit PV guests. In load_segments(),
store the result of is_pv_32bit_vcpu() as it is an expensive predicate now,
and not used in a way which impacts speculative safety.

x86/pv: Fix assertions in svm_load_segs()
OSSTest has shown an assertion failure:
http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/153906/test-xtf-amd64-amd64-1/serial-rimava1.log
This is because we pass a non-NUL selector into svm_load_segs(), which is
something we must not do, as this path does not load the attributes/limits
from the GDT/LDT.
Drop the {fs,gs}_sel parameters from svm_load_segs() and use 0 instead. This
is acceptable even for non-zero NUL segments, as it is how the IRET
instruction behaves in all CPUs.
Only use the svm_load_segs() path when both FS and GS are NUL, which is the
common case when scheduling a 64bit vcpu with 64bit userspace in context.

The comments in save_segments(), _toggle_guest_pt() and write_cr() are false.
The %fs and %gs bases can be updated at any time by the guest.
As a consequence, Xen's fs_base/etc tracking state is always stale when the
vcpu is in context, and must not be used to complete MSR_{FS,GS}_BASE reads, etc.
In particular, a sequence such as:
wrmsr(MSR_FS_BASE, 0x1ull << 32);
write_fs(__USER_DS);
base = rdmsr(MSR_FS_BASE);
will return the stale base, not the new base. This may cause guest a guest
kernel's context switching of userspace to malfunction.
Therefore:
* Update save_segments(), _toggle_guest_pt() and read_msr() to always read
the segment bases from hardware.
* Update write_cr(), write_msr() and do_set_segment_base() to not not waste
time caching data which is instantly going to become stale again.
* Provide comments explaining when the tracking state is and isn't stale.
This bug has been present for 14 years, but several bugfixes since have built
on and extended the original flawed logic.

The logic takes the segment selector unmodified from guest context. This
allowed the guest to load DPL0 descriptors into %gs. Fix up the RPL for
non-NUL selectors to be 3.
Xen's context switch logic skips saving the inactive %gs base, as it cannot be
modified by the guest behind Xen's back. This depends on Xen caching updates
to the inactive base, which is was missing from this path.
The consequence is that, following SEGBASE_GS_USER_SEL, the next context
switch will restore the stale inactive %gs base, and corrupt vcpu state.
Rework the hypercall to update the cached idea of gs_base_user, and fix the
behaviour in the case of the AMD NUL selector bug to always zero the segment
base.

All non-MMIO ranges (i.e those not mapping real device MMIO regions) that
map valid MFNs are normally marked MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK and 'ipat' is set. Hence
when PV drivers running in a guest populate the BAR space of the Xen Platform
PCI Device with pages such as the Shared Info page or Grant Table pages,
accesses to these pages will be cachable.
However, should IOMMU mappings be enabled be enabled for the guest then these
accesses become uncachable. This has a substantial negative effect on I/O
throughput of PV devices. Arguably PV drivers should bot be using BAR space to
host the Shared Info and Grant Table pages but it is currently commonplace for
them to do this and so this problem needs mitigation. Hence this patch makes
sure the 'ipat' bit is set for any special page regardless of where in GFN
space it is mapped.
NOTE: Clearly this mitigation only applies to Intel EPT. It is not obvious
that there is any similar mitigation possible for AMD NPT. Downstreams
such as Citrix XenServer have been carrying a patch similar to this for
several releases though.
