Gcc 11 looks to make incorrect assumptions about valid ranges that
pointers may be used for addressing when they are derived from e.g. a
plain constant. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100680.
Utilize RELOC_HIDE() to work around the issue, which for x86 manifests
in at least
- mpparse.c:efi_check_config(),
- tboot.c:tboot_probe(),
- tboot.c:tboot_gen_frametable_integrity(),
- x86_emulate.c:x86_emulate() (at -O2 only).
The last case is particularly odd not just because it only triggers at
higher optimization levels, but also because it only affects one of at
least three similar constructs. Various "note" diagnostics claim the
valid index range to be [0, 2⁶³-1].

Due to how set_write_lowpath was used here it didn't detect create/delete
conflicts. When we create an entry we must mark our parent as modified
(this is what creating a new node via write does).
Otherwise we can have 2 transactions one creating, and another deleting a node
both succeeding depending on timing. Or one transaction reading an entry,
concluding it doesn't exist, do some other work based on that information and
successfully commit even if another transaction creates the node via mkdir

(cherry picked from commit c8b9670825)
There is a global history, containing transactions from the past 0.05s, which
get trimmed whenever any transaction commits or aborts. Destroying a domain
will cause xenopsd to perform some transactions deleting the tree, so that is
fine. But I think that a domain can abuse the xenbus reconnect facility to
cause a large history to be recorded - provided that noone does any
transactions on the system inbetween, which may be difficult to achieve given
squeezed's constant pinging.
The theoretical situation is like this:
- a domain starts a transaction, creates as large a tree as it can, commits
it. Then repeatedly:
- start a transaction, do nothing with it, start a transaction, delete
part of the large tree, write some new unique data there, don't commit
- cause a xenbus reconnect (I think this can be done by writing something
to the ring). This causes all transactions/watches for the connection to
be cleared, but NOT the history, there were no commits, so nobody
trimmed the history, i.e. it the history can contain transactions from
more than just 0.05s
- loop back and start more transactions, you can keep this up indefinitely
without hitting quotas
Now there is a periodic History.trim running every 0.05s, so I don't think you
can do much damage with it. But lets be safe an trim the transaction history
anyway on reconnect.

the C code were still using String_Val() to access them.
While the underlying structure is the same between string and bytes, a

Therefore, it will not be possible to build the OCaml libs when using

To avoid plain cast in the code, the code is now switched to use
Bytes_val(). As the macro is not defined in older OCaml version, we need

c/s f8c72b5261 "oxenstored: implement XS_RESET_WATCHES" from Xen 4.6
introduced reset watches support in oxenstored by mirroring the change
in cxenstored.
However the OCaml version has some additional data structures to
optimize watch firing, and just resetting the watches in one of the data
structures creates a security bug where a malicious guest kernel can
exceed its watch quota, driving oxenstored into OOM:
* create watches
* reset watches (this still keeps the watches lingering in another data
structure, using memory)
* create some more watches
* loop until oxenstored dies
The guest kernel doesn't necessarily have to be malicious to trigger
this:
* if control/platform-feature-xs_reset_watches is set
* the guest kexecs (e.g. because it crashes)
* on boot more watches are set up
* this will slowly "leak" memory for watches in oxenstored, driving it
towards OOM.
This is XSA-330.

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.

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.

When a node creation fails the number of nodes of the domain should be
the same as before the failed node creation. In case of failure when
trying to create a node requiring to create one or more intermediate
nodes as well (e.g. when /a/b/c/d is to be created, but /a/b isn't
existing yet) it might happen that the number of nodes of the creating
domain is not reset to the value it had before.
So move the quota accounting out of construct_node() and into the node
write loop in create_node() in order to be able to undo the accounting
in case of an error in the intermediate node destructor.

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
the root handling and permission checks on the node only once from a single
function, instead of getting it wrong nearly everywhere.
This is XSA-353.

The do_ls() function has somewhat inconsistent handling of errors.
If reading the node's contents with xs_read() fails, then do_ls() will
just quietly not display the contents.
If reading the node's permissions with xs_get_permissions() fails, then
do_ls() will print a warning, continue, and ultimately won't exit with
an error code (unless another error happens).
If recursing into the node with xs_directory() fails, then do_ls() will
abort immediately, not printing any further nodes.
For persistent failure modes — such as ENOENT because a node has been
removed, or EACCES because it has had its permisions changed since the
xs_directory() on the parent directory returned its name — it's
obviously quite likely that if either of the first two errors occur for
a given node, then so will the third and thus xenstore-ls will abort.
The ENOENT one is actually a fairly common case, and has caused tools to
fail to clean up a network device because it *apparently* already
doesn't exist in xenstore.
There is a school of thought that says, "Well, xenstore-ls returned an
error. So the tools should not trust its output."
The natural corollary of this would surely be that the tools must re-run
xenstore-ls as many times as is necessary until its manages to exit
without hitting the race condition. I am not keen on that conclusion.
For the specific case of ENOENT it seems reasonable to declare that,
but for the timing, we might as well just not have seen that node at
all when calling xs_directory() for the parent. By ignoring the error,
we give acceptable output.
The issue can be reproduced as follows:
(dom0) # for a in `seq 1 1000` ; do
xenstore-write /local/domain/2/foo/$a $a ;
done
Now simultaneously:
(dom0) # for a in `seq 1 999` ; do
xenstore-rm /local/domain/2/foo/$a ;
done
(dom2) # while true ; do
./xenstore-ls -p /local/domain/2/foo | grep -c 1000 ;
done
We should expect to see node 1000 in the output, every time.
