XenStored will kill any connection that it thinks has misbehaved,
this is currently happening in two places:
* In `handle_input()` if the sanity check on the ring and the message
fails.
* In `handle_output()` when failing to write the response in the ring.
As the domain structure is a child of the connection, XenStored will
destroy its view of the domain when killing the connection. This will
result in sending @releaseDomain event to all the watchers.
As the watch event doesn't carry which domain has been released,
the watcher (such as XenStored) will generally go through the list of
domains registers and check if one of them is shutting down/dying.
In the case of a client misbehaving, the domain will likely to be
running, so no action will be performed.
When the domain is effectively destroyed, XenStored will not be aware of
the domain anymore. So the watch event is not going to be sent.
By consequence, the watchers of the event will not release mappings
they may have on the domain. This will result in a zombie domain.
In order to send @releaseDomain event at the correct time, we want
to keep the domain structure until the domain is effectively
shutting-down/dying.
We also want to keep the connection around so we could possibly revive
the connection in the future.
A new flag 'is_ignored' is added to mark whether a connection should be
ignored when checking if there are work to do. Additionally any
transactions, watches, buffers associated to the connection will be
freed as you can't do much with them (restarting the connection will
likely need a reset).
As a side note, when the device model were running in a stubdomain, a
guest would have been able to introduce a use-after-free because there
is two parents for a guest connection.

By setting a watch with a very large tag it is possible to trick
xenstored to send watch event messages exceeding the maximum allowed
payload size. This might in turn lead to a crash of xenstored as the
resulting error can cause dereferencing a NULL pointer in case there
is no active request being handled by the guest the watch event is
being sent to.
Fix that by just dropping such watch events. Additionally modify the
error handling to test the pointer to be not NULL before dereferencing
it.

Currently, oxenstored checks the length of paths against 1024, then
prepends "/local/domain/$DOMID/" to relative paths. This allows a domU
to create paths which can't subsequently be read by anyone, even dom0.
This also interferes with listing directories, etc.
Define a new oxenstored.conf entry: quota-path-max, defaulting to 1024
as before. For paths that begin with "/local/domain/$DOMID/" check the
relative path length against this quota. For all other paths check the
entire path length.
This ensures that if the domid changes (and thus the length of a prefix
changes) a path that used to be valid stays valid (e.g. after a
live-migration). It also ensures that regardless how the client tries
to access a path (domid-relative or absolute) it will get consistent
results, since the limit is always applied on the final canonicalized
path.
Delete the unused Domain.get_path to avoid it being confused with
Connection.get_path (which differs by a trailing slash only).
Rewrite Util.path_validate to apply the appropriate length restriction
based on whether the path is relative or not. Remove the check for
connection_path being absolute, because it is not guest controlled data.

domain ids are prone to wrapping (15-bits), and with sufficient number
of VMs in a reboot loop it is possible to trigger it. Xenstore entries
may linger after a domain dies, until a toolstack cleans it up. During
this time there is a window where a wrapped domid could access these
xenstore keys (that belonged to another VM).
To prevent this do a cleanup when a domain dies:
* walk the entire xenstore tree and update permissions for all nodes
* if the dead domain had an ACL entry: remove it
* if the dead domain was the owner: change the owner to Dom0
This is done without quota checks or a transaction. Quota checks would
be a no-op (either the domain is dead, or it is Dom0 where they are not
enforced). Transactions are not needed, because this is all done
atomically by oxenstored's single thread.
The xenstore entries owned by the dead domain are not deleted, because
that could confuse a toolstack / backends that are still bound to it
(or generate unexpected watch events). It is the responsibility of a
toolstack to remove the xenstore entries themselves.

Access rights of Xenstore nodes are per domid. Unfortunately existing
granted access rights are not removed when a domain is being destroyed.
This means that a new domain created with the same domid will inherit
the access rights to Xenstore nodes from the previous domain(s) with
the same domid.
This can be avoided by adding a generation counter to each domain.
The generation counter of the domain is set to the global generation
counter when a domain structure is being allocated. When reading or
writing a node all permissions of domains which are younger than the
node itself are dropped. This is done by flagging the related entry
as invalid in order to avoid modifying permissions in a way the user
could detect.
A special case has to be considered: for a new domain the first
Xenstore entries are already written before the domain is officially
introduced in Xenstore. In order not to drop the permissions for the
new domain a domain struct is allocated even before introduction if
the hypervisor is aware of the domain. This requires adding another
bool "introduced" to struct domain in xenstored. In order to avoid
additional padding holes convert the shutdown flag to bool, too.
As verifying permissions has its price regarding runtime add a new
quota for limiting the number of permissions an unprivileged domain
can set for a node. The default for that new quota is 5.

Today watch events are sent regardless of the access rights of the
node the event is sent for. This enables any guest to e.g. setup a
watch for "/" in order to have a detailed record of all Xenstore
modifications.
Modify that by sending only watch events for nodes that the watcher
has a chance to see otherwise (either via direct reads or by querying
the children of a node). This includes cases where the visibility of
a node for a watcher is changing (permissions being removed).
Permissions for nodes are looked up either in the old (pre
transaction/command) or current trees (post transaction). If
permissions are changed multiple times in a transaction only the final
version is checked, because considering a transaction atomic the
individual permission changes would not be noticable to an outside
observer.
Two trees are only needed for set_perms: here we can either notice the
node disappearing (if we loose permission), appearing
(if we gain permission), or changing (if we preserve permission).
RM needs to only look at the old tree: in the new tree the node would be
gone, or could have different permissions if it was recreated (the
recreation would get its own watch fired).
Inside a tree we lookup the watch path's parent, and then the watch path
child itself. This gets us 4 sets of permissions in worst case, and if
either of these allows a watch, then we permit it to fire. The
permission lookups are done without logging the failures, otherwise we'd
get confusing errors about permission denied for some paths, but a watch
still firing. The actual result is logged in xenstored-access log:
'w event ...' as usual if watch was fired
'w notfired...' if the watch was not fired, together with path and
permission set to help in troubleshooting
Adding a watch bypasses permission checks and always fires the watch
once immediately. This is consistent with the specification, and no
information is gained (the watch is fired both if the path exists or
doesn't, and both if you have or don't have access, i.e. it reflects the
path a domain gave it back to that domain).
There are some semantic changes here:
* Write+rm in a single transaction of the same path is unobservable
now via watches: both before and after a transaction the path
doesn't exist, thus both tree lookups come up with the empty
permission set, and noone, not even Dom0 can see this. This is
consistent with transaction atomicity though.
* Similar to above if we temporarily grant and then revoke permission
on a path any watches fired inbetween are ignored as well
* There is a new log event (w notfired) which shows the permission set
of the path, and the path.
* Watches on paths that a domain doesn't have access to are now not
seen, which is the purpose of the security fix.

An unprivileged user of Xenstore is not allowed to write nodes with a
size exceeding a global quota, while privileged users like dom0 are
allowed to write such nodes. The size of a node is the needed space
to store all node specific data, this includes the names of all
children of the node.
When deleting a node its parent has to be modified by removing the
name of the to be deleted child from it.
This results in the strange situation that an unprivileged owner of a
node might not succeed in deleting that node in case its parent is
exceeding the quota of that unprivileged user (it might have been
written by dom0), as the user is not allowed to write the updated
parent node.
Fix that by not checking the quota when writing a node for the
purpose of removing a child's name only.
The same applies to transaction handling: a node being read during a
transaction is written to the transaction specific area and it should
not be tested for exceeding the quota, as it might not be owned by
the reader and presumably the original write would have failed if the
node is owned by the reader.

This was lacking in a disappointing number of places.
The xenstore root node is treated differently from all other nodes, because it
doesn't have a parent, and mutation requires changing the parent.
Unfortunately this lead to open-coding the special case for root into every
single xenstore operation, and out of all the xenstore operations only read
did a permission check when handling the root node.
This means that an unprivileged guest can:
* xenstore-chmod / to its liking and subsequently write new arbitrary nodes
there (subject to quota)
* xenstore-rm -r / deletes almost the entire xenstore tree (xenopsd quickly
refills some, but you are left with a broken system)
* DIRECTORY on / lists all children when called through python
bindings (xenstore-ls stops at /local because it tries to list recursively)
* get-perms on / works too, but that is just a minor information leak
Add the missing permission checks, but this should really be refactored to do

could still be ambiguities in treating these regions as potentially regular
RAM.
One such example is SeaBIOS which currently reports "ACPI data" regions as
RAM to the guest in its e801 call. Which it might have the right to do as any
user of this is expected to be ACPI unaware. But a QEMU bootloader later seems
to ignore that fact and is instead using e801 to find a place for initrd which
causes the tables to be erased. While arguably QEMU bootloader or SeaBIOS need
to be fixed / improved here, that is just one example of the potential problems
from using a reclaimable memory type.
Flip the type to "ACPI NVS" which doesn't have this ambiguity in it and is

platforms with optimization activated:
xenpmd.c:92:37: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing
between 4 and 2147483645 bytes into a region of size 271
[-Werror=format-truncation=]
This is also solving the following Debian bug:

Unexpectedly the environment variable which needs to be passed is
$LDSHARED and not $LD. Otherwise Python may find the build `ld` instead
of the host `ld`.
Replace $(LDFLAGS) with $(SHLIB_LDFLAGS) as Python needs shared objects
it can load at runtime, not executables.
This uses $(CC) instead of $(LD) since Python distutils appends $CFLAGS
to $LDFLAGS which breaks many linkers.

Use memcpy in getBridge to prevent gcc warnings about truncated
strings. We know that we might truncate it, so the gcc warning
here is wrong.
Revert previous change changing buffer sizes as bigger buffers
are not needed.

Doing so isn't appropriate here - this gets done very early in the build
process. If the directory is mean to to be buildable on its own,
different arrangements would be needed.
The issue has become more pronounced by 47654a0d73 ("tools/include:
fix (drop) dependencies of when to populate xen/"), but was there before
afaict.
