When we update the header files that had been included in head.S.
The build system would not re-compile the head.S. Because in the
build rules, the dependencies are setting to .*.d (eg. DEPS = .*.d)
files in the same folder as Makefile.
But head.S is very special, it was used by the Makefile in the parent
folder: "ALL_OBJS := $(TARGET_SUBARCH)/head.o".
In this case, the build system could not find the dependency in DEPS.
When we update the header files, the build system is unware of this
update. If we re-build the Xen without doing make clean or touching
the head.S, the build system will not recompile the head.S.

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)
xen.git#staging (to check that it does not break master
Subject to passes, it should then be propagated to all supported
stable trees and also be mentioned in an update to XSA-178.

Along with the IVHD block type 10h, newer AMD platforms also come with
types 11h, which is a superset of the older one. Having multiple IVHD
block types in the same platform allows backward compatibility of newer
systems to work with existing drivers. The driver should only parse
the highest-level (newest) type of IVHD block that it can support.
However, the current driver returns error when encounters with unknown
IVHD block type. This causes existing driver to unnecessarily fail IOMMU
initialization on new systems.
This patch introduces a new logic, which scans through IVRS table looking
for the highest-level supporsted IVHD block type. It also adds support
for the new IVHD block type 11h. More information about the IVHD type 11h
can be found in the AMD I/O Virtualization Technology (IOMMU) Specification
rev 2.62.

libxc current performs the xstate calculation for guests, and provides the
information to Xen to be used when satisfying CPUID traps. (There is further
work planned to improve this arrangement, but the worst a buggy toolstack can
do is make junk appear in the cpuid leaves for the guest.)
dom0 however has no policy constructed for it, and certain fields filter
straight through from hardware.
Linux queries CPUID.7[0].{EAX/EDX} alone to choose a setting for %xcr0, which
is a valid action to take, but features such as MPX and PKRU are not supported
for PV guests. As a result, Linux, using leaked hardware information, fails
to set %xcr0 on newer Skylake hardware with PKRU support, and crashes.
As an interim solution, dynamically calculate the correct xfeature_mask and
xstate_size to report to the guest for CPUID.7[0] queries. This ensures that
domains don't see leaked hardware values, even when no cpuid policy is
provided.
Similarly, CPUID.7[1]{ECX/EDX} represents the applicable settings for MSR_XSS.
As Xen doesn't yet support any XSS states in guests, unconditionally zero
them.

Rework libxl__device_disk_from_xs_be (which takes a backend path) into

libxl__device_disk_from_xenstore now finds the backend path itself,

All the data collection is now done by reading from the copy in

libxl_device_disk_list and its helper libxl__append_disk_list (which
used to be libxl__append_disk_list_of_type) need extensive rework,
because they now need to specify the /libxl path rather than the
backend path.
To do that they enumerate disks by looking in the appropriate area in
/libxl. Previously they scanned various of the backend directories in
dom0 (which was broken for driver domains). It is no longer necessary
to enumerate the various disk backends, because they all use the same
paths in /devices. libxl__device_disk_from_xenstore will parse the
type out of the backend path, for itself. (Indeed, it did so before -
the now-gone type parameter to libxl__append_disk_list_of_type wasn't
used other than to construct the directory to list.)
Finally, remove a redundant store to pdisk->backend_domid in
libxl__append_disk_list[_of_type]. Even before this commit, that
store was not needed because libxl_device_disk_init (called by
libxl__device_disk_from_xenstore) would zero it. Now it overwrites
