in the absence of any provided value.
It's not very useful for the options to be used both as defaults and
as capping values for domain creation inputs. The defaults passed on
the command line are used by dom0 which has a very different grant
requirements than a regular domU. dom0 usually needs a bigger
maptrack array, while domU usually require a bigger number of grant

Refer to Intel SDM Rev 70 (Dec 2022), Vol3 17.2.3 "Supervisor Shadow Stack
Token".
Architecturally, an event delivery which starts in CPL<3 and switches shadow
stack will first validate the Supervisor Shadow Stack Token (setting the busy
bit), then pushes CS/LIP/SSP. One example of this is an NMI interrupting Xen.
Some CPUs suffer from an issue called fracturing, whereby a fault/vmexit/etc
between setting the busy bit and completing the event injection renders the
action non-restartable, because when it comes time to restart, the busy bit is
found to be already set.
This is far more easily encountered under virt, yet it is not the fault of the
hypervisor, nor the fault of the guest kernel. The fault lies somewhere
between the architectural specification, and the uarch behaviour.
Intel have allocated CPUID.7[1].ecx[18] CET_SSS to enumerate that supervisor
shadow stacks are safe to use. Because of how Xen lays out its shadow stacks,
fracturing is not expected to be a problem on native.
Detect this case on boot and default to not using shstk if virtualised.
Specifying `cet=shstk` on the command line will override this heuristic and
enable shadow stacks irrespective.

At the moment, Xen does not support booting gzip compressed uImages.
This is because we are trying to decompress the kernel before probing
the u-boot header. This leads to a failure as the header always appears
at the top of the image (and therefore obscuring the gzip header).
Move the call to kernel_uimage_probe before kernel_decompress and make
the function self-containing by taking the following actions:
- take a pointer to struct bootmodule as a parameter,
- check the comp field of a u-boot header to determine compression type,
- in case of compressed image, call kernel_decompress passing uImage
header size as an offset to gzip header,
- set up zimage.{kernel_addr,len} accordingly,
- return -ENOENT in case of a u-boot header not found to distinguish it
amongst other return values and make it the only case for falling
through to try to probe other image types.
Modify kernel_decompress to take an additional parameter being an offset
to a gzip header from start address. This is needed so that a function
can first operate on a region containing actually compressed kernel (in case
of compressed uImage, size of u-boot header is an offset to a gzip header)
and then at the end pass the entire region (as it was before taking an offset
into account) to fw_unreserved_regions for freeing.
This approach avoids splitting the uImage probing into 2 stages (executed
before and after decompression) which otherwise would be necessary to
properly parse header, update boot module start and size before
decompression and update zimage.{kernel_addr,len} afterwards.
Remove the limitation from the booting.txt documentation.

The Xenstore related documentation is currently to be found in

There is a comment in the header pointing at the document, but the

copied into consuming projects (Linux kernel, qemu, etc.), so pointing
at a doc file in the Xen git repository isn't really helpful for the

This situation is far from ideal, which is already being proved by the
fact that neither qemu nor the Linux kernel are implementing the

Currently, kernel_uimage_probe() does not read the load/entry point address
set in the uImge header. Thus, info->zimage.start is 0 (default value). This
causes, kernel_zimage_place() to treat the binary (contained within uImage)
as position independent executable. Thus, it loads it at an incorrect
address.
The correct approach would be to read "uimage.load" and set
info->zimage.start. This will ensure that the binary is loaded at the
correct address. Also, read "uimage.ep" and set info->entry (ie kernel entry
address).
If user provides load address (ie "uimage.load") as 0x0, then the image is
treated as position independent executable. Xen can load such an image at
any address it considers appropriate. A position independent executable
cannot have a fixed entry point address.
This behavior is applicable for both arm32 and arm64 platforms.
Earlier for arm32 and arm64 platforms, Xen was ignoring the load and entry
point address set in the uImage header. With this commit, Xen will use them.
This makes the behavior of Xen consistent with uboot for uimage headers.
Users who want to use Xen with statically partitioned domains, can provide
non zero load address and entry address for the dom0/domU kernel. It is
required that the load and entry address provided must be within the memory
region allocated by Xen.
A deviation from uboot behaviour is that we consider load address == 0x0,
to denote that the image supports position independent execution. This
is to make the behavior consistent across uImage and zImage.

Under certain conditions guests can get the CPU stuck in an unbounded
loop without the possibility of an interrupt window to occur on
instruction boundary. This was the case with the scenarios described
in XSA-156.
Make use of the Notify VM Exit mechanism, that will trigger a VM Exit
if no interrupt window occurs for a specified amount of time. Note
that using the Notify VM Exit avoids having to trap #AC and #DB
exceptions, as Xen is guaranteed to get a VM Exit even if the guest
puts the CPU in a loop without an interrupt window, as such disable
the intercepts if the feature is available and enabled.
Setting the notify VM exit window to 0 is safe because there's a
threshold added by the hardware in order to have a sane window value.
Note the handling of EXIT_REASON_NOTIFY in the nested virtualization
case is passed to L0, and hence a nested guest being able to trigger a
notify VM exit with an invalid context would be able to crash the L1
hypervisor (by L0 destroying the domain). Since we don't expose VM
Notify support to L1 it should already enable the required
protections in order to prevent VM Notify from triggering in the first

This fixes an issue with running C code in a GIF=0 region, that's
problematic when using UBSAN or other instrumentation techniques.
The current logic for AMD SSBD context switches it on every
vm{entry,exit} if the Xen and guest selections don't match. This is
expensive when not using SPEC_CTRL, and hence should be avoided as
much as possible.
When SSBD is not being set from SPEC_CTRL on AMD don't context switch
at vm{entry,exit} and instead only context switch SSBD when switching
vCPUs. This has the side effect of running Xen code with the guest
selection of SSBD, the documentation is updated to note this behavior.
Also note that then when `ssbd` is selected on the command line guest
SSBD selection will not have an effect, and the hypervisor will run
with SSBD unconditionally enabled when not using SPEC_CTRL itself.
As a result of no longer running the code to set SSBD in a GIF=0
region the locking of amd_set_legacy_ssbd() can be done using normal
spinlocks, and some more checks can be added to assure it works as
intended.
Finally it's also worth noticing that since the guest SSBD selection
is no longer set on vmentry the VIRT_SPEC_MSR handling needs to
propagate the value to the hardware as part of handling the wrmsr.

On Sapphire Rapids Xeon (SPR) the C1 and C1E states are basically mutually
exclusive - only one of them can be enabled. By default, 'intel_idle' driver
enables C1 and disables C1E. However, some users prefer to use C1E instead of
C1, because it saves more energy.
This patch adds a new module parameter ('preferred_cstates') for enabling C1E
and disabling C1. Here is the idea behind it.
1. This option has effect only for "mutually exclusive" C-states like C1 and
C1E on SPR.
2. It does not have any effect on independent C-states, which do not require
other C-states to be disabled (most states on most platforms as of today).
3. For mutually exclusive C-states, the 'intel_idle' driver always has a
reasonable default, such as enabling C1 on SPR by default. On other
platforms, the default may be different.
4. Users can override the default using the 'preferred_cstates' parameter.
5. The parameter accepts the preferred C-states bit-mask, similarly to the
existing 'states_off' parameter.
6. This parameter is not limited to C1/C1E, and leaves room for supporting
other mutually exclusive C-states, if they come in the future.
Today 'intel_idle' can only be compiled-in, which means that on SPR, in order
to disable C1 and enable C1E, users should boot with the following kernel
argument: intel_idle.preferred_cstates=4

- For dom0less domUs, the setting of the p2m pool is called before

pool size by `xen,domain-p2m-mem-mb` dts property.
To actually allocate/free pages from the p2m pool, this commit adds

Linux driver does similar thing - see

When controller sharing is enabled in kconfig (option marked as

using a value found there if non-zero. Additionally, add xue->xhc_num to
select n-th controller.

Xue is a cross-platform USB 3 debugger that drives the Debug
Capability (DbC) of xHCI-compliant host controllers. This patch
implements the operations needed for xue to initialize the host
controller's DbC and communicate with it. It also implements a struct
uart_driver that uses xue as a backend. Note that only target -> host
communication is supported for now. To use Xue as a console, add
'console=dbgp dbgp=xhci' to the command line.
[Marek]
The Xue driver is taken from https://github.com/connojd/xue and heavily
refactored to fit into Xen code base. Major changes include:
- rename to xhci_dbc
- drop support for non-Xen systems
- drop xue_ops abstraction
- use Xen's native helper functions for PCI access
- move all the code to xue.c, drop "inline"
- build for x86 only
- annotate functions with cf_check
- adjust for Xen's code style
At this stage, only the first xHCI is considered, and only output is
supported. Later patches add support for choosing specific device, and
input handling.
The driver is initiallized before memory allocator works, so all the
transfer buffers (about 230KiB of them) are allocated statically and will
use memory even if XUE console is not selected. The driver can be
disabled build time to reclaim this memory.
Most of this memory is shared with the controller via DMA. Later patch
will adjust structures placement to avoid anything else to be placed on
those DMA-reachable pages. This also means str_buf cannot use static
initializer, without reserving (at least) a whole page page in .data (or
more, when combined with other structures).

Before actually enabling their use, provide a means to suppress it in
case of problems. Note that using the option can also affect the sharing
of page tables in the VT-d / EPT combination: If EPT would use large
page mappings but the option is in effect, page table sharing would be
suppressed (to properly fulfill the admin request).

With debug info retained, xen.efi can be quite large. Unlike for xen.gz
there's no intermediate step (mkelf32 there) involved which would strip
debug info kind of as a side effect. While the installing of xen.efi on
the EFI partition is an optional step (intended to be a courtesy to the
developer), adjust it also for the purpose of documenting what distros
would be expected to do during boot loader configuration (which is what
would normally put xen.efi into the EFI partition).
Model the control over stripping after Linux'es module installation,
except that the stripped executable is constructed in the build area
instead of in the destination location. This is to conserve on space
used there - EFI partitions tend to be only a few hundred Mb in size.
