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.

`Tag_cons` is `0` and is meant to be used as the tag argument for
`caml_alloc`/`caml_alloc_small` when constructing a non-empty list.
The empty list is `Val_emptylist` instead, which is really just `Val_int(0)`.
Assigning `0` to a list value like this is equivalent to assigning the naked
pointer `NULL` to the field. Naked pointers are not valid in OCaml 5, however
even in OCaml <5.x any attempt to iterate on the list will lead to a segfault.
The list currently only has an opaque type, so no code would have reason to
iterate on it currently, but we shouldn't construct invalid OCaml values that
might lead to a crash when exploring the type.
`Val_emptylist` is available since OCaml 3.01 as a constant.

Integers in Ocaml have 63 or 31 bits of signed precision.

In 32-bit builds of Ocaml, this goes wrong. The C uint32_t is truncated
first (loses the top bit), then has a unsigned/signed mismatch.
A "negative" value (i.e. a packet on the ring of between 1G and 2G in size)

is not removed from the ring, the exception re-triggers on every subsequent

Introduce a limit on the number of outstanding reply packets in the xenbus
queue. This limits the number of in-flight requests: when the output queue is
full we'll stop processing inputs until the output queue has room again.
To avoid a busy loop on the Unix socket we only add it to the watched input
file descriptor set if we'd be able to call `input` on it. Even though Dom0
is trusted and exempt from quotas a flood of events might cause a backlog
where events are produced faster than daemons in Dom0 can consume them, which
could lead to an unbounded queue size and OOM.
Therefore the xenbus queue limit must apply to all connections, Dom0 is not
exempt from it, although if everything works correctly it will eventually
catch up.
This prevents a malicious guest from sending more commands while it has
outstanding watch events or command replies in its input ring. However if it
can cause the generation of watch events by other means (e.g. by Dom0, or
another cooperative guest) and stop reading its own ring then watch events
would've queued up without limit.
The xenstore protocol doesn't have a back-pressure mechanism, and doesn't
allow dropping watch events. In fact, dropping watch events is known to break
some pieces of normal functionality. This leaves little choice to safely
implement the xenstore protocol without exposing the xenstore daemon to
out-of-memory attacks.
Implement the fix as pipes with bounded buffers:
* Use a bounded buffer for watch events
* The watch structure will have a bounded receiving pipe of watch events
* The source will have an "overflow" pipe of pending watch events it couldn't
deliver
Items are queued up on one end and are sent as far along the pipe as possible:
source domain -> watch -> xenbus of target -> xenstore ring/socket of target
If the pipe is "full" at any point then back-pressure is applied and we prevent
more items from being queued up. For the source domain this means that we'll
stop accepting new commands as long as its pipe buffer is not empty.
Before we try to enqueue an item we first check whether it is possible to send
it further down the pipe, by attempting to recursively flush the pipes. This
ensures that we retain the order of events as much as possible.
We might break causality of watch events if the target domain's queue is full
and we need to start using the watch's queue. This is a breaking change in
the xenstore protocol, but only for domains which are not processing their
incoming ring as expected.
When a watch is deleted its entire pending queue is dropped (no code is needed
for that, because it is part of the 'watch' type).
There is a cache of watches that have pending events that we attempt to flush
at every cycle if possible.
Introduce 3 limits here:
* quota-maxwatchevents on watch event destination: when this is hit the
source will not be allowed to queue up more watch events.
* quota-maxoustanding which is the number of responses not read from the ring:
once exceeded, no more inputs are processed until all outstanding replies
are consumed by the client.
* overflow queue on the watch event source: all watches that cannot be stored
on destination are queued up here, a single command can trigger multiple
watches (e.g. due to recursion).
The overflow queue currently doesn't have an upper bound, it is difficult to
accurately calculate one as it depends on whether you are Dom0 and how many
watches each path has registered and how many watch events you can trigger
with a single command (e.g. a commit). However these events were already
using memory, this just moves them elsewhere, and as long as we correctly
block a domain it shouldn't result in unbounded memory usage.
Note that Dom0 is not excluded from these checks, it is important that Dom0 is
especially not excluded when it is the source, since there are many ways in
which a guest could trigger Dom0 to send it watch events.
This should protect against malicious frontends as long as the backend follows
the PV xenstore protocol and only exposes paths needed by the frontend, and
changes those paths at most once as a reaction to guest events, or protocol
state.
The queue limits are per watch, and per domain-pair, so even if one
communication channel would be "blocked", others would keep working, and the
domain itself won't get blocked as long as it doesn't overflow the queue of
watch events.
Similarly a malicious backend could cause the frontend to get blocked, but
this watch queue protects the frontend as well as long as it follows the PV
protocol. (Although note that protection against malicious backends is only a
best effort at the moment)

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.

Add XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_X86_ASSISTED_XAPIC and
XEN_SYSCTL_PHYSCAP_X86_ASSISTED_X2APIC to report accelerated xAPIC and
x2APIC, on x86 hardware. This is so that xAPIC and x2APIC virtualization
can subsequently be enabled on a per-domain basis.
No such features are currently implemented on AMD hardware.
HW assisted xAPIC virtualization will be reported if HW, at the
minimum, supports virtualize_apic_accesses as this feature alone means
that an access to the APIC page will cause an APIC-access VM exit. An
APIC-access VM exit provides a VMM with information about the access
causing the VM exit, unlike a regular EPT fault, thus simplifying some
internal handling.
HW assisted x2APIC virtualization will be reported if HW supports
virtualize_x2apic_mode and, at least, either apic_reg_virt or
virtual_intr_delivery. This also means that
sysctl follows the conditionals in vmx_vlapic_msr_changed().
For that purpose, also add an arch-specific "capabilities" parameter
to struct xen_sysctl_physinfo.
Note that this interface is intended to be compatible with AMD so that
AVIC support can be introduced in a future patch. Unlike Intel that
has multiple controls for APIC Virtualization, AMD has one global
'AVIC Enable' control bit, so fine-graining of APIC virtualization
control cannot be done on a common interface.

They are two competiting spelling for the variable holding the path to
"tools/ocaml", $(TOPLEVEL) and $(OCAML_TOPLEVEL). The "Makefile.rules"
which is included in all ocaml Makefiles have one rule which make use
of that variable which is then sometime unset. When building
"ocaml/xenstored", make isn't capable of generating ".ocamldep.make"
because $(TOPLEVEL) isn't defined in this case.
This can fail with an error like this when paths.ml have been
regenerated:
Error: Files define.cmx and paths.cmx

This patch fix ".ocamldep.make" rule by always spelling the variable
$(OCAML_TOPLEVEL).

this does need to have a full 32 bits of range.

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.

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.

This reverts commit 2075b410ee.
During the discussion [1] that took place after
the patch was merged it was agreed that it should
be reverted to avoid introducing a bad interface.
Furthermore, the patch rejected usage of flag
XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_vpci for x86 which is not true
as it should be set for dom0 PVH.
Due to XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_vpmu being introduced after
XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_vpci, modify its bit position
from 8 to 7.

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.
