- livepatch_list() due to the limit of 1024 enforced on the

- compat mode handling due to counts there being limited to 32 bits,

In 32bit, the data segments may be NULL to indicate that the segment is
ineligible for use. In both 32bit and 64bit, the LDT selector may be NULL to
indicate that the entire LDT is ineligible for use. However, nothing in Xen
actually checks for this condition when performing other segmentation
checks. (Note however that limit and writeability checks are correctly
performed).
Neither Intel nor AMD specify the exact behaviour of loading a NULL segment.
Experimentally, AMD zeroes all attributes but leaves the base and limit
unmodified. Intel zeroes the base, sets the limit to 0xfffffff and resets the
attributes to just .G and .D/B.
The use of the segment information in the VMCB/VMCS is equivalent to a native
pipeline interacting with the segment cache. The present bit can therefore
have a subtly different meaning, and it is now cooked to uniformly indicate
whether the segment is usable or not.
GDTR and IDTR don't have access rights like the other segments, but for
consistency, they are treated as being present so no special casing is needed
elsewhere in the segmentation logic.
AMD hardware does not consider the present bit for %cs and %tr, and will
function as if they were present. They are therefore unconditionally set to
present when reading information from the VMCB, to maintain the new meaning of
usability.
Intel hardware has a separate unusable bit in the VMCS segment attributes.
This bit is inverted and stored in the present field, so the hvm code can work
with architecturally-common state.

In "libxl: Do not trust backend for disk eject vdev" (c69871a2fb on
xen.git#staging) we changed libxl_evenable_disk_eject to read the
device vdev out of xenstore from the /libxl path, rather than the
backend path, and to read it during setup rather than on each event.
However, the patch has a mistake:
- GCSPRINTF("%s/dev", backend), NULL);
+ GCSPRINTF("%s/vdev", libxl_path), &configured_vdev);
^
Spot the extra "v". This causes configured_vdev always to be NULL.
configured_vdev is passed to [libxl__]strdup.
In Xen 4.6 and later libxl__strdup is used and tolerates NULL.
evg->vdev is set to NULL. This propagates to the `vdev' field in the
generated event. This may or may not cause further trouble, depending
on the calling application. In our osstest test cases it does not
cause any trouble, so the bug goes undetected.
In Xen 4.5 and earlier, the strdup does not tolerate NULL, and libxl
crashes immediately. This has been detected by osstest as a
regression in Xen 4.5.
IMO this patch should be applied immediately to
xen.git#staging-4.5 (to check that it fixes the osstest regression)

To do that they enumerate disks by looking in the appropriate area in

dom0 (which was broken for driver domains). It is no longer necessary

the now-gone type parameter to libxl__append_disk_list_of_type wasn't
used other than to construct the directory to list.)

We want to stop libxl trustingly reading information from the backend
directory (since this is, of course, writeable by the backend, which
might be a semi-trusted driver domain).
In principle it is wrong in current libxl for anything to try to
divine virtual device configuration from xenstore: the JSON domain
config ought to supply that, and xenstore should only tell us which
devices actually exist.
However:
Firstly, there are several existing places where configuration
information is retrieved from xenstore rather than JSON. We do not
want to reen gineer this in a security patch.
Secondly, we want to make a security patch which can be backported to
versions of libxl without the JSON configuration machinery.
So we take the expedient approach of keeping a copy of the
configuration somewhere we trust, namely /libxl. This is obviously
fairly low-risk, although it does write significantly more keys in
xenstore.
In this patch we make this change in libxl__device_generic_add. This
is responsible for actually writing the vast majority of device
information to xenstore. There are a few loose ends which will be

In particular:
1. A guest has write permission for the frontend path:
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID
which means that the guest can completely delete the frontend.
(They can't recreate it because they don't have write permission
on the containing directory.)
2. A guest has write permission for the backend path recorded in the
frontend, ie, it can write to
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID/backend
which means that the guest can break the association between
frontend and backend.
So we can't rely on iterating over the frontends to find all the
backends, or examining a frontend to discover how a device is
configured.
So, have libxl__device_generic_add record the frontend and backend
paths in /libxl/$DOMID/device, and have libxl__device_destroy remove
them again.
Create the containing directory /libxl/GUEST/device in
libxl__domain_make. The already existing xs_rm in devices_destroy_cb
will take care of removing it.
This is part of XSA-175.

If p2m_init() didn't complete successfully, (e.g. due to VMID
exhaustion), p2m_teardown() is called and unconditionally tries to free
p2m->first_level before it has been allocated. free_domheap_pages() doesn't
tolerate NULL pointers.
