XEN_DOMCTL_CONFIG_GIC_NATIVE lets the toolstack ask Xen to silently
resolve the domain's GIC version to whatever the host hardware has. Xen
then writes the resolved value back into the same in/out
xen_arch_domainconfig the toolstack used as input, which is the kind of
API abuse we're trying to get rid of. The struct passed to createdomain
should only be an input parameter.
Move the "pick the best available GIC version" decision to the
toolstack, using the XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_ARM_GIC_V2/V3 capability bits
already exposed via XEN_SYSCTL_physinfo:
* libxl__arch_domain_build_info_setdefault() resolves the GIC version
against those bits before the config is built. An unspecified version
becomes v3 if available, else v2, else fails. An explicitly requested
v2/v3 is validated against the same bits, so a version the host
cannot provide is directly rejected in the toolstack.
* The Python xc.domain_create() binding does the same via a call to
xc_physinfo().
* libxl__arch_domain_prepare_config() therefore only ever sees a
concrete v2/v3 request and just validates it. The GIC_NATIVE case is
dropped since setdefault() always resolves it first.
LIBXL_GIC_VERSION_DEFAULT keeps its name and value: xl.cfg still accepts
"default" as the C<gic_version> keyword, and setdefault() resolves it to
a concrete v2/v3 before anything else can observe it.
This guarantees no toolstack path can still produce
XEN_DOMCTL_CONFIG_GIC_NATIVE, in preparation for removing it from the
Xen side and from the ABI entirely.

The commit 3e322bef8b ("xen/arm: firmware: Add SCMI over SMC calls
handling layer") introduces simple driver which forwards SCMI over SMC
calls from hwdom/dom0 to EL3 firmware (TF-A) with a single SCMI OSPM agent
support. While it is working gracefully for hwdom/dom0 use case it doesn't
cover "thin Dom0 with guest domain, which serves as Driver domain"
use-case. In this case HW need to be enable in Driver domain and dom0 is
performing only control functions.
The EL3 SCMI firmware (TF-A) with a single SCMI OSPM agent support is
pretty generic case for the default vendors SDK and new platforms.
This patch enables passthrough of SCMI SMC single agent interface to the
one guest domain serving as Driver domain.
Configure Dom0 to enable SCMI passthrough:
- dom0: add scmi-smc-passthrough to the Xen Command Line
Enabled SCMI passthrough for guest using toolstack in the following way:
- domD: xl.cfg add "arm_sci" option as below
arm_sci = "type=scmi_smc"
- domD: xl.cfg enable access to the "arm,scmi-shmem"
iomem = [
"47ff0,1@22001",
]
- domD: add SCMI nodes to the Driver domain partial device tree as in the
below example:
passthrough {
scmi_shm_0: sram@22001000 {
compatible = "arm,scmi-shmem";
reg = <0x0 0x22001000 0x0 0x1000>;
};
firmware {
compatible = "simple-bus";
scmi: scmi {
compatible = "arm,scmi-smc";
shmem = <&scmi_shm_0>;
...
}
}
}
dom0less case configuration:
- add "xen,sci_type" property for required DomU ("xen,domain") node
xen,sci_type="scmi_smc"
- add scmi nodes to the Driver domain partial device tree the same way
as above and enable access to the "arm,scmi-shmem" according to
dom0less documentation. For example:
scmi_shm_0: sram@22001000 {
compatible = "arm,scmi-shmem";
reg = <0x00 0x22001000 0x00 0x1000>;
-> xen,reg = <0x0 0x47ff0000 0x0 0x1000 0x0 0x22001000>;
-> xen,force-assign-without-iommu;
};
The SCMI SMC single agent interface can be enabled for one and only one
domain. In general, the configuration is similar to any other HW
passthrough, except explicitly enabling SCMI with "arm_sci" xl.cfg option.
Note that "arm,scmi-smc" and "arm,scmi-shmem" nodes will be removed from
dom0/hwdom DT when "scmi-smc-passthrough" cmdline parameter was provided.

When dom0 is PVH, and passthrough a device to dumU, xl will
use the gsi number of device to do a pirq mapping, see
pci_add_dm_done->xc_physdev_map_pirq, but the gsi number is
got from file /sys/bus/pci/devices/<sbdf>/irq, that confuses
irq and gsi, they are in different space and are not equal,
so it will fail when mapping.
To solve this issue, to get the real gsi and add a new function
xc_physdev_map_pirq_gsi to get a free pirq for gsi.
Note: why not use current function xc_physdev_map_pirq, because
it doesn't support to allocate a free pirq, what's more, to
prevent changing it and affecting its callers, so add
xc_physdev_map_pirq_gsi.
Besides, PVH dom0 doesn't have PIRQs flag, it doesn't do
PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq for each gsi. So grant function callstack
pci_add_dm_done->XEN_DOMCTL_irq_permission will fail at function
domain_pirq_to_irq. And old hypercall XEN_DOMCTL_irq_permission
requires passing in pirq, it is not suitable for PVH dom0 that
doesn't have PIRQs to grant irq permission.
To solve this issue, use the another hypercall
XEN_DOMCTL_gsi_permission to grant the permission of irq(
translate from gsi) to dumU when dom0 has no PIRQs.

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

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

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().

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.

The extended region (safe range) is a region of guest physical

grant/foreign mappings instead of wasting real RAM pages from
the domain memory for establishing these mappings.
The extended regions are chosen at the domain creation time and
advertised to it via "reg" property under hypervisor node in
the guest device-tree. As region 0 is reserved for grant table
space (always present), the indexes for extended regions are 1...N.
If extended regions could not be allocated for some reason,
Xen doesn't fail and behaves as usual, so only inserts region 0.
Please note the following limitations:
- The extended region feature is only supported for 64-bit domain
currently.
- The ACPI case is not covered.
***
The algorithm to choose extended regions for non-direct mapped
DomU is simpler in comparison with the algorithm for direct mapped
Dom0. We usually have a lot of unused space above 4GB, and might
have some unused space below 4GB (depends on guest memory size).
Try to allocate separate 2MB-aligned extended regions from the first
(below 4GB) and second (above 4GB) RAM banks taking into the account
the maximum supported guest physical address space size and the amount
of memory assigned to the guest. The minimum size of extended region
the same as for Dom0 (64MB).
Please note, we introduce fdt_property_reg_placeholder helper which
purpose is to create N ranges that are zeroed. The interesting fact
is that libfdt already has fdt_property_placeholder(). But this was
introduced only in 2017, so there is a risk that some distros may not
ship the last libfdt version. This is why we implement our own light

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.

Today xenctrl_dom.h is part of libxenctrl as it is included by
xc_private.c. This seems not to be needed, so merge xenctrl_dom.h into
xenguest.h where its contents really should be.
Replace all #includes of xenctrl_dom.h by xenguest.h ones or drop them
if xenguest.h is already included.

Carve out all libxenlight related sources and move them to
tools/libs/light in order to use the generic library build environment.
The closely related sources for libxl-save-helper and the libxl test
environment are being moved, too.
