Juergen Gross 3c8fccd30d libxl: allow to run non-HVM guest without any device model being available
When removing qemu-trad support, libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault()
was modified to only allow qemu-xen as a device model. This change
resulted in an error at domain creation when qemu-xen isn't there.

As this is a perfectly fine situation for PV and PVH guests without
any qemu based backends, handle this case gracefully.

Andrew Cooper 576fca515e tools/libxl: Remove unconditional XEN_DOMCTL_set_llc_colors hypercall
Hypercalls are not free; cache colouring is an experimental feature, and
ignoring an -EOPNOTSUPP is bad form.

Now that Xen has been fixed to initialise colouring information correctly for

explicit configuration.

Rearrange the logic to avoid the hypercall in the general case, leaving a

Roger Pau Monne 22650d6054 x86/hvmloader: select xen platform pci MMIO BAR UC or WB MTRR cache attribute
The Xen platform PCI device (vendor ID 0x5853) exposed to x86 HVM guests
doesn't have the functionality of a traditional PCI device.  The exposed
MMIO BAR is used by some guests (including Linux) as a safe place to map
foreign memory, including the grant table itself.

Traditionally BARs from devices have the uncacheable (UC) cache attribute
from the MTRR, to ensure correct functionality of such devices.  hvmloader
mimics this behavior and sets the MTRR attributes of both the low and high
PCI MMIO windows (where BARs of PCI devices reside) as UC in MTRR.

This however causes performance issues for users of the Xen platform PCI
device BAR, as for the purposes of mapping remote memory there's no need to
use the UC attribute.  On Intel systems this is worked around by using
iPAT, that allows the hypervisor to force the effective cache attribute of
a p2m entry regardless of the guest PAT value.  AMD however doesn't have an
equivalent of iPAT, and guest PAT values are always considered.

Linux commit:

41925b105e34 xen: replace xen_remap() with memremap()

Attempted to mitigate this by forcing mappings of the grant-table to use
the write-back (WB) cache attribute.  However Linux memremap() takes MTRRs
into account to calculate which PAT type to use, and seeing the MTRR cache
attribute for the region being UC the PAT also ends up as UC, regardless of
the caller having requested WB.

As a workaround to allow current Linux to map the grant-table as WB using
memremap() introduce an xl.cfg option (xen_platform_pci_bar_uc=0) that can
be used to select whether the Xen platform PCI device BAR will have the UC
attribute in MTRR.  Such workaround in hvmloader should also be paired with
a fix for Linux so it attempts to change the MTRR of the Xen platform PCI
device BAR to WB by itself.

Overall, the long term solution would be to provide the guest with a safe
range in the guest physical address space where mappings to foreign pages
can be created.

Roger Pau Monné 0291089f6e xen: enable altp2m at create domain domctl
Enabling it using an HVM param is fragile, and complicates the logic when
deciding whether options that interact with altp2m can also be enabled.

Leave the HVM param value for consumption by the guest, but prevent it from
being set.  Enabling is now done using and additional altp2m specific field in
xen_domctl_createdomain.

Note that albeit only currently implemented in x86, altp2m could be implemented
in other architectures, hence why the field is added to xen_domctl_createdomain
instead of xen_arch_domainconfig.

Jason Andryuk 3c7482b73c libxl: Use vkb=[] for HVMs
xl/libxl only applies vkb=[] to PV & PVH guests.  HVM gets only a single
vkb by default, but that can be disabled by the vkb_device boolean.
Notably the HVM vkb cannot be configured, so feature-abs-pointer or the
backend-type cannot be specified.

Re-arrange the logic so that vkb=[] is handled regardless of domain
type.  If vkb is empty or unspecified, follow the vkb_device boolean for
HVMs.  Nothing changes for PVH & PV.  HVMs can now get a configured vkb
instead of just the default one.

The chance for regression is an HVM config with
vkb=["$something"]
vkb_device=false

Which would now get a vkb.

This is useful for vGlass which provides a VKB to HVMs.  vGlass wants to
specify feature-abs-pointer, but that is racily written by vGlass
instead of coming through the xl.cfg.  Unhelpfully, Linux xen-kbdfront
reads the backend nodes without checking that the backend is in
InitWait.

As additional security features it is possible to specify:
- "max-space" for limiting the maximum space consumed on the filesystem
  in MBs
- "max-files" for limiting the maximum number of files in the
  filesystem
- "max-open-files" for limiting the maximum number of concurrent open
  files

For convenience "auto-delete" is available to let the backend delete the
oldest file of the guest in case otherwise "max-space" or "max-files"
would be violated.

The xen-9pfsd daemon will be started by libxenlight automatically when
the first "xen_9pfs" device is being created.

Roger Pau Monne 024e7131be tools: don't expose XENFEAT_hvm_pirqs by default
The HVM pirq feature allows routing interrupts from both physical and emulated
devices over event channels, this was done a performance improvement.  However
its usage is fully undocumented, and the only reference implementation is in
Linux.  It defeats the purpose of local APIC hardware virtualization, because
when using it interrupts avoid the usage of the local APIC altogether.

It has also been reported to not work properly with certain devices, at least
when using some AMD GPUs Linux attempts to route interrupts over event
channels, but Xen doesn't correctly detect such routing, which leads to the
hypervisor complaining with:

(XEN) d15v0: Unsupported MSI delivery mode 7 for Dom15

When MSIs are attempted to be routed over event channels the entry delivery
mode is set to ExtINT, but Xen doesn't detect such routing and attempts to
inject the interrupt following the native MSI path, and the ExtINT delivery
mode is not supported.

Disable HVM PIRQs by default and provide a per-domain option in xl.cfg to
enable such feature.  Also for backwards compatibility keep the feature enabled
for any resumed domains that don't have an explicit selection.

Note that the only user of the feature (Linux) is also able to handle native
interrupts fine, as the feature was already not used if Xen reported local APIC
hardware virtualization active.

Much like the device model depriv mode, add the same kind of support for the

bootloader to run as, together with the bootloader itself taking the necessary
actions to isolate.

Note that the user to run the bootloader as must have the right permissions to
access the guest disk image (in read mode only), and that the bootloader will
be run in non-interactive mode when restricted.

If enabled bootloader restrict mode will attempt to re-use the user(s) from the
QEMU depriv implementation if no user is provided on the configuration file or
the environment.  See docs/features/qemu-deprivilege.pandoc for more
information about how to setup those users.

Bootloader restrict mode is not enabled by default as it requires certain
setup to be done first (setup of the user(s) to use in restrict mode).

Viresh Kumar 43ba5202e2 libxl: add support for generic virtio device
This patch adds basic support for configuring and assisting generic
Virtio backends, which could run in any domain.

An example of domain configuration for mmio based Virtio I2C device is:
virtio = ["type=virtio,device22,transport=mmio"]

To make this work on Arm, allocate Virtio MMIO params (IRQ and memory
region) and pass them to the backend and update guest device-tree to
create a DT node for the Virtio devices.

Add special support for I2C and GPIO devices, which require the
"compatible" DT property to be set, among other device specific
properties. Support for generic virtio devices is also added, which just
need a MMIO node but not any special DT properties, for such devices the
user needs to pass "virtio,device" in the "type" string.

The parsing of generic virtio device configurations will be done in a
separate commit.

Jane Malalane 2ce11ce249 x86/HVM: allow per-domain usage of hardware virtualized APIC
Introduce a new per-domain creation x86 specific flag to
select whether hardware assisted virtualization should be used for
x{2}APIC.

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
configuration option.

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
time, are not migrated.

Roger Pau Monné 07449ecfa4 tools/libxl: don't allow IOMMU usage with PoD
Prevent libxl from creating guests that attempts to use PoD together
with an IOMMU, even if no devices are actually assigned.

While the hypervisor could support using PoD together with an IOMMU as
long as no devices are assigned, such usage seems doubtful. There's no
guarantee the guest has PoD no longer be active, and thus a later
assignment of a PCI device to such domain could fail.

Preventing the usage of PoD together with an IOMMU at guest creation
avoids having to add checks for active PoD entries in the device
assignment paths.

Roger Pau Monné 2abeaf319c domctl: introduce a macro to set the grant table max version
Such macro just clamps the passed version to fit in the designated
bits of the domctl field. The main purpose is to make it clearer in
the code when max grant version is being set in the grant_opts field.

Existing users that where setting the version in the grant_opts field
are switched to use the macro.

No functional change intended.

Roger Pau Monne 7379f9e10a gnttab: allow setting max version per-domain
Introduce a new domain create field so that toolstack can specify the
maximum grant table version usable by the domain. This is plumbed into
xl and settable by the user as max_grant_version.

Previously this was only settable on a per host basis using the
gnttab command line option.

Note the version is specified using 4 bits, which leaves room to
specify up to grant table version 15. Given that we only have 2 grant
table versions right now, and a new version is unlikely in the near
future using 4 bits seems more than enough.

xenstored stubdomains are limited to grant table v1 because the
current MiniOS code used to build them only has support for grants v1.
There are existing limits set for xenstored stubdomains at creation
time that already match the defaults in MiniOS.

Rahul Singh 52d0847d7c arm/libxl: Emulated PCI device tree node in libxl
libxl will create an emulated PCI device tree node in the device tree to
enable the guest OS to discover the virtual PCI during guest boot.
Emulated PCI device tree node will only be created when there is any
device assigned to guest.

A new area has been reserved in the arm guest physical map at
which the VPCI bus is declared in the device tree (reg and ranges
parameters of the node).

Note that currently we are using num_pcidevs instead of
c_info->passthrough to decide whether to create a vPCI DT node.
This will be insufficient if and when ARM does PCI hotplug.
Add this note inside libxl_create.c where c_info->passthrough
is set.

Michal Orzel dbb948110a xen: Expose the PMU to the guests
Add parameter vpmu to xl domain configuration syntax
to enable the access to PMU registers by disabling
the PMU traps(currently only for ARM).

The current status is that the PMU registers are not
virtualized and the physical registers are directly
accessible when this parameter is enabled. There is no
interrupt support and Xen will not save/restore the
register values on context switches.

According to Arm Arm, section D7.1:
"The Performance Monitors Extension is common
to AArch64 operation and AArch32 operation."
That means we have an ensurance that if PMU is
present in one exception state, it must also be
present in the other.

Please note that this feature is experimental.

Anthony PERARD dae3c3e8b2 libxl: Fix domain soft reset state handling
In do_domain_soft_reset(), a `libxl__domain_suspend_state' is used
without been properly initialised and disposed of. This lead do a
abort() in libxl due to the `dsps.qmp' state been used before been
initialised:
    libxl__ev_qmp_send: Assertion `ev->state == qmp_state_disconnected || ev->state == qmp_state_connected' failed.

Once initialised, `dsps' also needs to be disposed of as the `qmp'
state might still be in the `Connected' state in the callback for
libxl__domain_suspend_device_model(). So this patch adds
libxl__domain_suspend_dispose() which can be called from the two
places where we need to dispose of `dsps'.

Roger Pau Monné 0570d7f276 x86/msr: introduce an option for compatible MSR behavior selection
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.

Paul Durrant e43780f15f libxl: s/pcidev/pci and remove DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE_STRUCT_X
The seemingly arbitrary use of 'pci' and 'pcidev' in the code in libxl_pci.c
is confusing and also compromises use of some macros used for other device
types. Indeed it seems that DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE_STRUCT_X exists solely because
of this duality.

This patch purges use of 'pcidev' from the libxl internal code, but
unfortunately the 'pcidevs' and 'num_pcidevs' fields in 'libxl_domain_config'
are part of the API and need to be retained to avoid breaking callers,
particularly libvirt.

DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE_STRUCT_X is still removed to avoid the special case in
libxl_pci.c but DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE_STRUCT is given an extra 'array' argument
which is used to identify the fields in 'libxl_domain_config' relating to
the device type.

NOTE: Some of the more gross formatting errors (such as lack of spaces after
      keywords) that came into context have been fixed in libxl_pci.c.
