We want to stop libxl trustingly reading information from the backend
directory (since this is, of course, writeable by the backend, which
might be a semi-trusted driver domain).
In principle it is wrong in current libxl for anything to try to
divine virtual device configuration from xenstore: the JSON domain
config ought to supply that, and xenstore should only tell us which
devices actually exist.
However:
Firstly, there are several existing places where configuration
information is retrieved from xenstore rather than JSON. We do not
want to reen gineer this in a security patch.
Secondly, we want to make a security patch which can be backported to
versions of libxl without the JSON configuration machinery.
So we take the expedient approach of keeping a copy of the
configuration somewhere we trust, namely /libxl. This is obviously
fairly low-risk, although it does write significantly more keys in
xenstore.
In this patch we make this change in libxl__device_generic_add. This
is responsible for actually writing the vast majority of device
information to xenstore. There are a few loose ends which will be
dealt with in a moment.
Likewise, changes to readers to use the new location will appear in
further patches.

This gives us a record of all the backends we have set up for a
domain, which is separate from the frontends in
/local/domain/$DOMID/device.
In particular:
1. A guest has write permission for the frontend path:
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID
which means that the guest can completely delete the frontend.
(They can't recreate it because they don't have write permission
on the containing directory.)
2. A guest has write permission for the backend path recorded in the
frontend, ie, it can write to
/local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID/backend
which means that the guest can break the association between
frontend and backend.
So we can't rely on iterating over the frontends to find all the
backends, or examining a frontend to discover how a device is
configured.
So, have libxl__device_generic_add record the frontend and backend
paths in /libxl/$DOMID/device, and have libxl__device_destroy remove
them again.
Create the containing directory /libxl/GUEST/device in

pygrub (in identify_disk_image()) detects a DOS style partition table
via the presence of the 0xaa55 signature at the end of the first
sector of the disk.
However this signature is also present in whole-disk configurations
when there is an MBR on the disk. Many filesystems (e.g. ext[234])
include leading padding in their on disk format specifically to enable
this.
So if we think we have a DOS partition table but do not find any
actual partition table entries we may as well try looking at it as a
whole disk image. Worst case is we probe and find there isn't anything
there.
This was reported by Sjors Gielen in Debian bug #745419. The fix was
inspired by a patch by Adi Kriegisch in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745419#27

then:
dd if=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/g2ldr.mbr of=img conv=notrunc bs=512 count=1

also works.

... to prevent guest user mode arranging for a guest crash (due to

Note that fixing this in an architecturally correct way would be quite
a bit more involved: Making the x86 instruction emulator check all
branch targets for validity, plus dealing with invalid rIP resulting
from update_guest_eip() or incoming directly during a VM exit. The only
way to get the latter right would be by not having hardware do the
injection.
Note further that there are a two early returns from
vmx_vmexit_handler(): One (through vmx_failed_vmentry()) leads to
domain_crash() anyway, and the other covers real mode only and can
neither occur with a non-canonical rIP nor result in an altered rIP,
so we don't need to force those paths through the checking logic.

master date: 2016-02-17 16:18:08 +0100
We've been told by Intel that inconsistent cachability between
multiple mappings of the same page can affect system stability only
when the affected page is an MMIO one. Since the stale data issue is
of no relevance to the hypervisor (since all guest memory accesses go
through proper accessors and validation), handling of RAM pages
remains unchanged here. Any MMIO mapped by domains however needs to be
done consistently (all cachable mappings or all uncachable ones), in
order to avoid Machine Check exceptions. Since converting existing
cachable mappings to uncachable (at the time an uncachable mapping
gets established) would in the PV case require tracking all mappings,
allow MMIO to only get mapped uncachable (UC, UC-, or WC).
This also implies that in the PV case we mustn't use the L1 PTE update
fast path when cachability flags get altered.
Since in the HVM case at least for now we want to continue honoring
pinned cachability attributes for pages not mapped by the hypervisor,
special case handling of r/o MMIO pages (forcing UC) gets added there.
Arguably the counterpart change to p2m-pt.c may not be necessary, since
UC- (which already gets enforced there) is probably strict enough.
Note that the shadow code changes include fixing the write protection
of r/o MMIO ranges: shadow_l1e_remove_flags() and its siblings, other
than l1e_remove_flags() and alike, return the new PTE (and hence
ignoring their return values makes them no-ops).

Most #DB exceptions are traps rather than faults, meaning that the instruction
pointer in the exception frame points after the instruction rather than at it.
However, VMX intercepts all have fault semantics, even when intercepting a
trap. Re-injecting an intercepted trap as a fault causes an infinite loop in
the guest, by re-executing the same trapping instruction repeatedly. This
breaks debugging inside the guest.
Introduce a helper which copies VM_EXIT_INTR_INTO to VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO, and
use it to mirror the intercepted interrupt back to the guest.

The bootloader may call libxl__file_reference_map(), which mmap's the
pv_kernel and pv_ramdisk into process memory. This was only unmapped,
however, on the success path of libxl__build_pv(). If there were a
failure anywhere between libxl_bootloader.c:parse_bootloader_result()
and the end of libxl__build_pv(), the calls to
libxl__file_reference_unmap() would be skipped, leaking the mapped
virtual memory.
Ideally this would be fixed by adding the unmap calls to the
destruction path for libxl__domain_build_state. Unfortunately the
lifetime of the libxl__domain_build_state is opaque, and it doesn't
have a proper destruction path. But, the only thing in it that isn't
from the gc are these bootloader references, and they are only ever
set for one libxl__domain_build_state, the one which is
libxl__domain_create_state.build_state.
So we can clean up in the exit path from libxl__domain_create_*, which
always comes through domcreate_complete.
Remove the now-redundant unmaps in libxl__build_pv's success path.

PoD guests need to balloon at least as far as required by PoD, or risk
crashing. Currently they don't necessarily know what the right value
is, because our memory accounting is (at the very least) confusing.
Apply the memory limit fudge factor to the in-hypervisor PoD memory
target, too. This will increase the size of the guest's PoD cache by
the fudge factor LIBXL_MAXMEM_CONSTANT (currently 1Mby). This ensures
that even with a slightly-off balloon driver, the guest will be
stable even under memory pressure.
There are two call sites of xc_domain_set_pod_target that need fixing:
The one in libxl_set_memory_target is straightforward.
The one in xc_hvm_build_x86.c:setup_guest is more awkward. Simply
setting the PoD target differently does not work because the various
amounts of memory during domain construction no longer match up.
Instead, we adjust the guest memory target in xenstore (but only for
PoD guests).
This introduces a 1Mby discrepancy between the balloon target of a PoD
guest at boot, and the target set by an apparently-equivalent `xl
mem-set' (or similar) later. This approach is low-risk for a security
fix but we need to fix this up properly in xen.git#staging and
probably also in stable trees.
This is XSA-153.

Some of the sub-ops are acessible to all guests, and hence should be
rate-limited. In the xenoprof case, just like for XSA-146, include them
only in debug builds. Since the vPMU code is rather new, allow them to
be always present, but downgrade them to (rate limited) guest messages.
This is CVE-2015-7971 / XSA-152.

Based on the contents of a guests physical address space,
p2m_pod_emergency_sweep() could degrade into a linear memcmp() from 0 to
max_gfn, which runs non-preemptibly.
As p2m_pod_emergency_sweep() runs behind the scenes in a number of contexts,
making it preemptible is not feasible.
Instead, a different approach is taken. Recently-populated pages are eagerly
checked for reclaimation, which amortises the p2m_pod_emergency_sweep()
operation across each p2m_pod_demand_populate() operation.
Note that in the case that a 2M superpage can't be reclaimed as a superpage,
it is shattered if 4K pages of zeros can be reclaimed. This is unfortunate
but matches the previous behaviour, and is required to avoid regressions
(domain crash from PoD exhaustion) with VMs configured close to the limit.
This is CVE-2015-7970 / XSA-150.

When optional super page support got added (commit bd1cd81d64 "x86: PV
support for hugepages"), two adjustments were missed: mod_l2_entry()
needs to consider the PSE and RW bits when deciding whether to use the
fast path, and the PSE bit must not be removed from L2_DISALLOW_MASK
unconditionally.
This is CVE-2015-7835 / XSA-148.

Primarily this means XENMEM_decrease_reservation from a toolstack
domain.
Unlike x86 we have no requirement right now to queue such pages onto
a separate list, if we hit this race then the other code has already
fully accepted responsibility for freeing this page and therefore
there is no more for relinquish_memory to do.
This is CVE-2015-7814 / XSA-147.

Since XSA-131 qemu-xen has defaulted to non-permissive mode and the
option was extended to cover that case in 015a373351 "tools: libxl:
allow permissive qemu-upstream pci passthrough".
Since I was rewrapping to adjust the text anyway I've split the safety
warning into a separate paragraph to make it more obvious.
