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
libxl__domain_make. The already existing xs_rm in devices_destroy_cb

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
Tested by genext2fs'ing my /boot into a new raw image (works) and
then:
dd if=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/g2ldr.mbr of=img conv=notrunc bs=512 count=1
to add an MBR (with 0xaa55 signature) to it, which after this patch
also works.

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.

Since 28d386fc43 (XSA-57), libxl writes an empty value for the
console tty node, with read-only permission for the guest, when
setting up pv console "frontends". (The actual tty value is later set
by xenconsoled.) Writing an empty node is not strictly necessary to
stop the frontend from writing dangerous values here, but it is a good
belt-and-braces approach.
Unfortunately this confuses xenconsole. It reads the empty value, and
tries to open it as the tty. xenconsole then exits.
Fix this by having xenconsole treat an empty value the same way as no
value at all.
Also, make the error opening the tty be nonfatal: we just print a
warning, but do not exit. I think this is helpful in theoretical
situations where xenconsole is racing with libxl and/or xenconsoled.

initscripts.)
One solution is to use LimitNOFILE=4096 in xenconsoled.service to match the
lost ulimit, but that is only a stopgap solution.
As Xenconsoled genuinely needs a large number of file descriptors if a large
number of domains are running, attempt to increase the limit.

The Ocaml stub to retrieve the hypervisor console ring had a few problems.
* A single 32k buffer would truncate a large console ring.
* The buffer was static and not under the protection of the Ocaml GC lock so
could be clobbered by concurrent accesses.
* Embedded NUL characters would cause caml_copy_string() (which is strlen()
based) to truncate the buffer.
The function is rewritten from scratch, using the same algorithm as the python
stubs, but uses the protection of the Ocaml GC lock to maintain a static
running total of the ring size, to avoid redundant realloc()ing in future
calls.

From: Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@eu.citrix.com>
When domain_death_xswatch_callback needed a further call to
xc_domain_getinfolist it would restart it with the last domain it
found rather than the first one it wants.
If it only wants one it will also only ask for one domain. The result
would then be that it gets the previous domain again (ie, the previous
one to the one it wants), which still doesn't reveal the answer to the
question, and it would therefore loop again.
It's completely unclear to me why I thought it was a good idea to
start the xc_domain_getinfolist with the last domain previously found
rather than the first one left un-confirmed. The code has been that
way since it was introduced.
Instead, start each xc_domain_getinfolist at the next domain whose
status we need to check.
We also need to move the test for !evg into the loop, we now need evg
to compute the arguments to getinfolist.

Various xl sub-commands take additional parameters containing = as
additional config fragments.
The handling of these config fragments has a number of bugs:
1. Use of a static 1024-byte buffer. (If truncation would occur,
with semi-trusted input, a security risk arises due to quotes
being lost.)
2. Mishandling of the return value from snprintf, so that if
truncation occurs, the to-write pointer is updated with the
wanted-to-write length, resulting in stack corruption. (This is
XSA-137.)
3. Clone-and-hack of the code for constructing the appended
config file.
These are fixed here, by introducing a new function
`string_realloc_append' and using it everywhere. The `extra_info'
buffers are replaced by pointers, which start off NULL and are
explicitly freed on all return paths.
The separate variable which will become dom_info.extra_config is
abolished (which involves moving the clearing of dom_info).
Additional bugs I observe, not fixed here:
4. The functions which now call string_realloc_append use ad-hoc
error returns, with multiple calls to `return'. This currently
necessitates multiple new calls to `free'.
5. Many of the paths in xl call exit(-rc) where rc is a libxl status
code. This is a ridiculous exit status `convention'.
6. The loops for handling extra config data are clone-and-hacks.
7. Once the extra config buffer is accumulated, it must be combined
with the appropriate main config file. The code to do this
combining is clone-and-hacked too.

Said hypercall for large BARs can take quite a while. As such
we can require that the hypercall MUST break up the request
in smaller values.
Another approach is to add preemption to it - whether we do the
preemption using hypercall_create_continuation or returning
EAGAIN to userspace (and have it re-invocate the call) - either
way the issue we cannot easily solve is that in 'map_mmio_regions'
if we encounter an error we MUST call 'unmap_mmio_regions' for the
whole BAR region.
Since the preemption would re-use input fields such as nr_mfns,
first_gfn, first_mfn - we would lose the original values -
and only undo what was done in the current round (i.e. ignoring
anything that was done prior to earlier preemptions).
Unless we re-used the return value as 'EAGAIN|nr_mfns_done<<10' but
that puts a limit (since the return value is a long) on the amount
of nr_mfns that can provided.
This patch sidesteps this problem by:
- Setting an hard limit of nr_mfns having to be 64 or less.
- Toolstack adjusts correspondingly to the nr_mfn limit.
- If the there is an error when adding the toolstack will call the
remove operation to remove the whole region.
The need to break this hypercall down is for large BARs can take
more than the guest (initial domain usually) time-slice. This has
the negative result in that the guest is locked out for a long
duration and is unable to act on any pending events.
We also augment the code to return zero if nr_mfns instead
of trying to the hypercall.
This is XSA-125 / CVE-2015-2752.

By default qemu will try to create some sort of backend for the
emulated VGA device, either SDL or VNC.
However when the user specifies sdl=0 and vnc=0 in their configuration
libxl was not explicitly disabling either backend, which could lead to
one unexpectedly running.
If either sdl=1 or vnc=1 is configured then both before and after this
change only the backends which are explicitly enabled are configured,
i.e. this issue only occurs when all backends are supposed to have
been disabled.
This affects qemu-xen and qemu-xen-traditional differently.
If qemu-xen was compiled with SDL support then this would result in an
SDL window being opened if $DISPLAY is valid, or a failure to start
the guest if not. Passing "-display none" to qemu before any further
-sdl options disables this default behaviour and ensures that SDL is
only started if the libxl configuration demands it.
If qemu-xen was compiled without SDL support then qemu would instead
start a VNC server listening on ::1 (IPv6 localhost) or 127.0.0.1
(IPv4 localhost) with IPv6 preferred if available. Explicitly pass
"-vnc none" when vnc is not enabled in the libxl configuration to
remove this possibility.
qemu-xen-traditional would never start a vnc backend unless asked.
However by default it will start an SDL backend, the way to disable
this is to pass a -vnc option. In other words passing "-vnc none" will
disable both vnc and sdl by default. sdl can then be reenabled if
configured by subsequent use of the -sdl option.
Tested with both qemu-xen and qemu-xen-traditional built with SDL
support and:
xl cr # defaults
xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0
xl cr sdl=1 vnc=0
xl cr sdl=0 vnc=1
xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0 vga=\"none\"
xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0 nographic=1
with both valid and invalid $DISPLAY.
This is XSA-119 / CVE-2015-2152.

c/s d1b93ea causes substantial functional regressions in pygrub's ability to
parse bootloader configuration files.
c/s d1b93ea itself changed an an interface which previously used exclusively
integers, to using strings in the case of a grub configuration with explicit
default set, along with changing the code calling the interface to require a
string. The default value for "default" remained as an integer.
As a result, any Extlinux or Lilo configuration (which drives this interface
exclusively with integers), or Grub configuration which doesn't explicitly
declare a default will die with an AttributeError when attempting to call
"self.cf.default.isdigit()" where "default" is an integer.
Sadly, this AttributeError gets swallowed by the blanket ignore in the loop
which searches partitions for valid bootloader configurations, causing the
issue to be reported as "Unable to find partition containing kernel"
We should explicitly check type of "default" in image_index() and process it
appropriately.

(cherry picked from commit 4ee393f9d6)
(cherry picked from commit 7962c936a4)
Currently pygrub can only correctly parse grub2's default attribute when it is
specified as a number. If it is set to ${saved_entry} or ${next_entry} then
the first image (i.e. entry number 0) is selected. If any other value is
specified (typically this would be the string in menuentry) pygrub will crash.
This patch will allow pygrub to interpret default attribute if it is specified
as a string (note that in case of submenus only the leaf string will be
considered).
Also issue a warning if default is set to ${saved_entry} or ${next_entry}.

With changeset 22885 support was added for setting the MTU in the vif-bridge
script for when a vif interface was set to 'online'. The was not done for the
'add' operation. The 'add' operation was added to the script for when tap
devices were specified (c/s 21944). With the setting of the MTU for the
'online' case was there a reason for omitting the 'add'?
This patch sets the MTU for both 'online' and 'add' in the vif-bridge script.

libxl__device_disk_local_initiate_attach is assigning dls->diskpath with a
strdup of the device path. This is then passed to the callback, e.g.
parse_bootloader_result but bootloader_cleanup will not free it.
Since the callback is within the scope of the (e)gc and therefore doesn't need
to be malloc'd, a gc'd alloc will do. All other assignments to this field use
the gc.

This is because on the final iteration the tok += 3 skips over the terminating
NUL to the next byte, and then *tok reads it. Fix this by using endptr as the
