PVH guests have no DM, so this causes the guest to fetch the online CPU
bitmap from an unbacked 0xaf00 PIO port when executing the GPE handler.
Seeing how ACPI CPU hotplug is the only event delivered via GPE, remove
the GPE handler in addition to anything ACPI CPU hotplug related.
This shrinks PVH's DSDT substantially and prevents spuriously executing
a large amount of AML with no purpose at all.

SMBIOS specification dictates that tables should have a minimal length.
This commit introduces further validation for user-input SMBIOS tables.
As per SMBIOS Reference Specification:
* Type 0: For version 2.3 and later implementations, the length is at least 14h
* Type 1: 1Bh for 2.4 and later
* Type 2: at least 08h
* Type 3: 0Dh for version 2.1 and later
* Type 11: 5h (+ strings)
* Type 22: 1Ah (+ strings)
* Type 39: a minimum of 10h
Notably, this also fixes previously incorrect check for chassis handle in
smbios_type_2_init. Chassis handle is a WORD, therefore, the condition now
correctly checks for >= 13 instead of > 13.
hvmloader currently implements version 2.4
Furthermore, this commit introduces smbios_pt_copy helper function to substitute
previously repeating pattern of locating the struct in physical memory (via
get_smbios_pt_struct), checking the length and copying it into SMBIOS region.

The Indirect Target Selection speculative vulnerability means that indirect
branches (including RETs) are unsafe when in the first half of a cacheline.
This means it's not safe for logic using the stubs to write raw 0xc3's.
Introduce place_ret() which, for now, writes a raw 0xc3 but will contain
additional logic when return thunks are in use.
stub_selftest() doesn't strictly need to be converted as they only run on
boot, but doing so gets us a partial test of place_ret() too.

Otherwise, the caller will treat -errno as a valid value and propagate incorrect

size of an unknown type will get the success result from the hypercall and obtain
nr_frames 4294967201.

xc_cpuid_apply_policy() provides compatibility for migration of a pre-4.14 VM
where no CPUID data was provided in the stream.
It guesses the various max-leaf limits, based on what was true at the time of
writing, but this was not correctly adapted when speculative security issues
forced the advertisement of new feature bits. Of note are:
* LFENCE-DISPATCH, in leaf 0x80000021.eax
* BHI-CTRL, in leaf 0x7[2].edx
In both cases, a VM booted on a security-patched Xen 4.13, and then migrated
on to any newer version of Xen on the same or compatible hardware would have
these features stripped back because Xen is still editing the cpu-policy for
sanity behind the back of the toolstack.
For VMs using BHI_DIS_S to mitigate Native-BHI, this resulted in a failure to
restore the guests MSR_SPEC_CTRL setting:
(XEN) HVM d7v0 load MSR 0x48 with value 0x401 failed

It's very rude for a library to play with signals behind the back of the
application, no matter ones views on the default behaviour of SIGPIPE under
POSIX. Even if the application doesn't care about the xenstored socket, it my
care about others.
This logic has existed since xenstore/xenstored was originally added in commit
29c9e570b1 ("Add xenstore daemon and library") in 2005.
It's also unnecessary. Pass MSG_NOSIGNAL when talking to xenstored over a
pipe (to avoid sucumbing to SIGPIPE if xenstored has crashed), and forgo any
playing with the signal disposition.
This has a side benefit of saving 2 syscalls per xenstore request.

Instead, have the caller provide xsd_sockmsg in iovec[0]. This in turn drops
the 't' and 'type' parameters from xs_talkv().
Note that xs_talkv() may alter the iovec structure. This may happen when
writev() is really used under the covers, and it's preferable to having the
lower levels need to duplicate the iovec to edit it upon encountering a short
write. xs_directory_part() is the only function impacted by this, and it's

This approach is found to be unreliable when tested on a guest running

Another approach would be to trigger NMIs. This approach is found to be
unreliable when tested on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), as Linux will ignore

Injecting a double fault abort to all vCPUs is found to be more

set_cloexec() had a bit too much copy&pate from setnonblock(), and
insufficient testing on ancient versions of Linux...
As written (emulating ancient linux by undef'ing O_CLOEXEC), strace shows:
open("/dev/xen/xenbus", O_RDWR) = 3
fcntl(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE)
fcntl(3, 0x8003 /* F_??? */, 0x7ffe4a771d90) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
close(3) = 0
which is obviously nonsense.
Switch F_GETFL -> F_GETFD, and fix the second invocation to use F_SETFD. With
this, strace is rather happer:
open("/dev/xen/xenbus", O_RDWR) = 3
fcntl(3, F_GETFD) = 0
fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0

We previously upped the minimum python version to 2.7, but neglected to
reflect this in ./configure

This was clearly written by a C programmer, rather than a python programmer.
Drop all the useless semi-colons.
The very final line of the script simply references f.close, rather than
calling the function. Switch to using a with: statement, as python does care
about unclosed files if you enable enough warnings.
No functional change.

Prior to the split, "the clients" used tools/xenstored/Makefile.common whose
clean rule includes *.o whereas after the split, the removal of *.o was lost
by virtule of not including Makefile.common any more.
This is the bug behind the following build error:
make[2]: Entering directory '/local/xen.git/tools/xs-clients'
gcc xenstore_client.o (snip)
/usr/bin/ld: xenstore_client.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [Makefile:35: xenstore] Error 1
which was caused by `make clean` not properly cleaning the tree as I was
swapping between various build containers.
Switch to a plain single-colon clean rule.

xs_fileno() opens a pipe on first use to communicate between the watch thread
and the main thread. Nothing ever sets CLOEXEC on the file descriptors.
Check for the availability of the pipe2() function with configure. Despite
starting life as Linux-only, FreeBSD and NetBSD have gained it.
When pipe2() isn't available, try our best with pipe() and set_cloexec().
