HVM HAP codepaths have space for all segment registers in the seg_reg[]
cache (with x86_seg_none still risking an array overrun), while the shadow
codepaths only have space for the user segments.
Range check the input segment of *_get_seg_reg() against the size of the array
used to cache the results, to avoid overruns in the case that the callers
don't filter their input suitably.
Subsume the is_x86_user_segment(seg) checks from the shadow code, which were
an incomplete attempt at range checking, and are now superceeded. Make
hvm_get_seg_reg() static, as it is not used outside of shadow/common.c
No functional change, but far easier to reason that no overflow is possible.

xen/x86: Fix build with clang following c/s 4fa0105https://travis-ci.org/xen-project/xen/jobs/158494027#L2344
Clang complains:
emulate.c:2016:14: error: comparison of unsigned enum expression < 0
is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-compare]
if ( seg < 0 || seg >= ARRAY_SIZE(hvmemul_ctxt->seg_reg) )
~~~ ^ ~
Clang is wrong to raise a warning like this. The signed-ness of an enum is
implementation defined in C, and robust code must not assume the choices made
by the compiler.
In this case, dropping the < 0 check creates a latent bug which would result
in an array underflow when compiled with a compiler which chooses a signed
enum.
Work around the bug by explicitly pulling seg into an unsigned integer, and
only perform the upper bounds check.
No functional change.

HVM guests running with shadow paging can end up performing a virtual to

In the Credit1 hunk of 9f358ddd69 ("xen: Have
schedulers revise initial placement") csched_cpu_pick()
is called without taking the runqueue lock of the
(temporary) pCPU that the vCPU has been assigned to
(e.g., in XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus).
However, although 'hidden' in the IS_RUNQ_IDLE() macro,
that function does access the runq (for doing load
balancing calculations). Two scenarios are possible:
1) we are on cpu X, and IS_RUNQ_IDLE() peeks at cpu's
X own runq;
2) we are on cpu X, but IS_RUNQ_IDLE() peeks at some
other cpu's runq.
Scenario 2) absolutely requies that the appropriate
runq lock is taken. Scenario 1) works even without
taking the cpu's own runq lock. That is actually what
happens when when _csched_pick_cpu() is called from
csched_vcpu_acct() (in turn, called by csched_tick()).
Races have been observed and reported (by both XenServer
own testing and OSSTest [1]), in the form of
IS_RUNQ_IDLE() falling over LIST_POISON, because we're
not currently holding the proper lock, in
csched_vcpu_insert(), when scenario 1) occurs.
However, for better robustness, from now on we always
ask for the proper runq lock to be held when calling
IS_RUNQ_IDLE() (which is also becoming a static inline
function instead of macro).
In order to comply with that, we take the lock around
the call to _csched_cpu_pick() in csched_vcpu_acct().

The generic domain creation logic in
xen/common/domctl.c:default_vcpu0_location() attempts to try to do
initial placement load-balancing by placing vcpu 0 on the least-busy
non-primary hyperthread available. Unfortunately, the logic can end
up picking a pcpu that's not in the online mask. When this is passed
to a scheduler such which assumes that the initial assignment is
valid, it causes a null pointer dereference looking up the runqueue.
Furthermore, this initial placement doesn't take into account hard or
soft affinity, or any scheduler-specific knowledge (such as historic
runqueue load, as in credit2).
To solve this, when inserting a vcpu, always call the per-scheduler
"pick" function to revise the initial placement. This will
automatically take all knowledge the scheduler has into account.
csched2_cpu_pick ASSERTs that the vcpu's pcpu scheduler lock has been
taken. Grab and release the lock to minimize time spend with irqs

Idle vCPUs are set to run immediately, as a part of their
own initialization, so we shouldn't even try to put them
in a runqueue. In fact, no scheduler does that, even when
asked to (that is rather explicit in Credit2 and RTDS, a
bit less evident in Credit1).
Let's make things look as follows:
- in generic code, explicitly avoid even trying to
insert idle vCPUs in runqueues;
- in specific schedulers' code, enforce that.
Note that, as csched_vcpu_insert() is no longer being
called, during boot (from sched_init_vcpu()) we can
safely avoid saving the flags when taking the runqueue
lock.

The use of PoD requires careful co-ordination by the toolstack with the

best a guest can do without toolstack cooperation crash.
Furthermore, there are combinations of features (e.g. c/s c63868ff "libxl:
disallow PCI device assignment for HVM guest when PoD is enabled") which a
toolstack might wish to explicitly prohibit (in this case, because the two
simply don't function in combination). In such cases, the guest mustn't be

Introduce arch_get_dma_bitsize() to keep this arch-specific logic out

Also adjust the original calculation: I think the subtraction of 1
should have been part of the flsl() argument rather than getting
applied to its result. And while previously the division by 4 was valid
to be done on the flsl() result, this now also needs to be converted,

the license text refers generically to "the software", the non-GPL

Having the libxenvchan.h as Lesser GPL v2.1 where the COPYING file

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.

(cherry picked from commit 8b7a356409)
Commit 56fb5fd623 ("libxl: adjust PoD target by memory fudge, too")
introduced target_memkb adjustment for HVM PoD domains on create,
wherein the value it wrote to target is always 1MiB lower than the
actual target_memkb. Unfortunately, on reboot, it is this value which
is read *unmodified* to feed into the next domain creation; from which
1MiB is subtracted *again*. This means that any guest which reboots
with memory < maxmem will have its memory target decreased by 1MiB on
every boot.
This patch makes it so that when reading target on reboot, we adjust the
value we read *up* by 1MiB, so that the domain will be build with the
appropriate amount of memory and the target will remain the same after
reboot.
This is still not quite a complete fix, as the 1MiB offset is only
subtracted when creating or rebooting; it is not subtracted when 'xl
set-memory' is called. But it will prevent any situations where memory
is continually increased or decreased. A better fix will have to wait
until after the release.

xenstore-paths.markdown talked about ~/device/serial/, but that's not
used.
(It is very wrong for this value, which contains a driver domain
filesystem path, to be in the guest's area of xenstore. However, it
is only ever created by libxl and ready by xenconsoled. When it is
created, it inherits the read-only permissions of /local/domain/DOMID.
So there is no security bug.)

When allocating a vdev for a new disk, look in /libxl/device, rather
than the frontends directory in xenstore.
This is more in line with the other parts of libxl, which ought not to
trust frontends. In this case, though, there is no security bug prior
to this patch because the frontend is the toolstack domain itself.
If libxl__alloc_vdev were ever changed to take a frontend domain
argument, this patch will fix a latent security bug.

v2: Remove be_path variable which is now no longer used.
libxl_device_nic_list should use the /libxl path to search for
devices, and for obtaining the device information.
The "type" parameter was always "vif". Abolish it. (In any case,
paths in /libxl/device are named after the frontend type which is
constant, not the backend type which might in future vary.)
Abolish a redundant store to pnic->backend_domid. Before this commit,
that store was not needed because libxl_device_nic_init (called by
libxl__device_nic_from_xenstore) would zero it. Now it overwrites the
correct backend domid with zero; so remove it.

Fix the just-introduced bug in this macro: now it reads the
trustworthy libxl_path. Change the variable name in the two functions
(nic and channel) which use it.
Shuffling the bump in the carpet along, we now introduce three new
bugs: the three call sites pass a backend path where a frontend path
is expected.

We are going to want to change all the functions that use READ_BACKEND
to get untrustworthy information from the backend, to use trustworthy
information from /libxl.
This will involve replacing READ_BACKEND, which reads from be_path,
with a similar macro READ_LIBXLDEV, which reads from libxl_path.
The macro name change generates a lot of clutter in the diff. So we
break it out into this separate patch. Here, we rename the macro, but
the implementation does not really match the new name.
So, another way to look at this, is that we have transformed the bug:
* All of the backends use READ_BACKEND, which is unsafe
into the new bug:
* READ_LIBXLDEV actually reads be_path, which is unsafe.
There is no functional change as yet.

We are going to change these functions to expect, and be passed, a
/libxl path. So it is wrong that they are called _from_xs_be.
Neither function reads anything which isn't found in both places, so
we can and will change the call sites later.
The only remaining function in libxl called *_from_xs_be relates to
PCI devices, for which the backend domain is hardcoded to 0 throughout
the libxl_pci.c.

Use the /libxl path where appropriate. Rename `path' variable to
`be_path' to make sure we caught all the occurrences.
Specifically, when checking that the device still exists, check the
`frontend' value in /libxl, rather than anything in the backend
directory.
