George Dunlap ecdc6fd878 libxl: Fix libxl_set_memory_target return value
libxl_set_memory_target seems to have the following return values:

 '1' : on failure, if the failure happens because of a xenstore error
       *or* invalid target
 '-1': on error, the setmaxmem and set_pod_target hypercalls
       return -1 and set errno appropriately.
 '0' : on success

Make it consistently return ERROR_FAIL on failure, unless the
parameters were invalid, in which case return ERROR_INVAL.

In accordance with CODING_SYTLE:

  1. Leave rc uninitialized, and set when an error is detected

  2. Use 'r' for return values to functions whose return values are a
     different error space (like xc_domain_setmaxmem and
     xc_domain_set_pod_target)

  3. Use 'lrc' for return values to local functions libxl__*
     where a failure means retry, rather than fail the whole function
     (libxl__fill_dom0_memory_info), to reduce the risk of that.

BXT C-state timing is slightly different.

Here we trust the IRTL MSRs as authority
on maximum C-state latency, and override the driver's tables
with the values found in the associated IRTL MSRs.
Further we set the target_residency to 1x maximum latency,

Andrew Cooper ce34d6b036 xen/vsprintf: Avoid returning NULL from number()
In practice this is an unused codepath, as every caller of number() passes an
explicit base of 8, 10 or 16.  For all other uses, number() returns a pointer
between the str and end parameters, as do the other similar helper functions.

However, the fact that there is a NULL return path causes Coverity to check
whether the caller makes NULL checks on the return value, and complain.

Change the conditional return into an ASSERT().

No functional change, but this removes 21 instances of NULL_RETURN in
Coverity.

Wei Chen 9ea859deda xen/arm: build: add missed dependency for head.S
When we update the header files that had been included in head.S.
The build system would not re-compile the head.S. Because in the
build rules, the dependencies are setting to .*.d (eg. DEPS = .*.d)
files in the same folder as Makefile.

But head.S is very special, it was used by the Makefile in the parent
folder: "ALL_OBJS := $(TARGET_SUBARCH)/head.o".

In this case, the build system could not find the dependency in DEPS.
When we update the header files, the build system is unware of this
update. If we re-build the Xen without doing make clean or touching
the head.S, the build system will not recompile the head.S.

Ian Jackson 62b4d4769c libxl: Fix NULL pointer due to XSA-178 fix wrong XS nodename
In "libxl: Do not trust backend for disk eject vdev" (c69871a2fb on
xen.git#staging) we changed libxl_evenable_disk_eject to read the
device vdev out of xenstore from the /libxl path, rather than the
backend path, and to read it during setup rather than on each event.

However, the patch has a mistake:
    -        GCSPRINTF("%s/dev", backend), NULL);
    +        GCSPRINTF("%s/vdev", libxl_path), &configured_vdev);
                           ^
Spot the extra "v".  This causes configured_vdev always to be NULL.
configured_vdev is passed to [libxl__]strdup.

In Xen 4.6 and later libxl__strdup is used and tolerates NULL.
evg->vdev is set to NULL.  This propagates to the `vdev' field in the
generated event.  This may or may not cause further trouble, depending
on the calling application.  In our osstest test cases it does not
cause any trouble, so the bug goes undetected.

In Xen 4.5 and earlier, the strdup does not tolerate NULL, and libxl
crashes immediately.  This has been detected by osstest as a
regression in Xen 4.5.

IMO this patch should be applied immediately to
  xen.git#staging-4.5 (to check that it fixes the osstest regression)
  xen.git#staging     (to check that it does not break master

Subject to passes, it should then be propagated to all supported
stable trees and also be mentioned in an update to XSA-178.

Suravee Suthikulpanit eb48587210 AMD IOMMU: introduce support for IVHD block type 11h
Along with the IVHD block type 10h, newer AMD platforms also come with
types 11h, which is a superset of the older one. Having multiple IVHD
block types in the same platform allows backward compatibility of newer
systems to work with existing drivers.  The driver should only parse
the highest-level (newest) type of IVHD block that it can support.
However, the current driver returns error when encounters with unknown
IVHD block type. This causes existing driver to unnecessarily fail IOMMU
initialization on new systems.

This patch introduces a new logic, which scans through IVRS table looking
for the highest-level supporsted IVHD block type. It also adds support
for the new IVHD block type 11h. More information about the IVHD type 11h
can be found in the AMD I/O Virtualization Technology (IOMMU) Specification
rev 2.62.

Rather than just allowing a fixed address or fully automatic placement,
also allow for specifying an upper bound. Especially on EFI systems,
where firmware memory use is commonly less predictable than on legacy
BIOS ones, this makes success of the reservation more likely when
automatic placement is not an option (e.g. because of special DMA
restrictions of devices involved in actually carrying out the dump).

Also take the opportunity to actually add text to the "crashkernel"
entry in the command line option doc.

Platforms supporting Intel NVDIMM are now required to provide
persistency once pmem stores are accepted by the memory subsystem.
This is usually achieved by a platform-level feature known as ADR
(Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) that flushes any memory subsystem write
pending queues on power loss/shutdown. Therefore, the pcommit
instruction, which has not yet shipped on any product (and will not),
is no longer needed and is deprecated.

Chris Patterson c2a17869d5 libfsimage: replace deprecated readdir_r() with readdir()
Replace the usage of readdir_r() with readdir() to address a
compilation error under glibc due to the deprecation of readdir_r
for their next release (2.24) [1, 2].

Add new error checking on readdir(), and fail if error occurs.

--

From the GNU libc manual [3]:
"
 It is expected that future versions of POSIX will obsolete readdir_r and
 mandate the level of thread safety for readdir which is provided by the
 GNU C Library and other implementations today.
"

There is a filed bug in the Austin Group Defect Tracker [4]  in which 'dalias'
proposes (in comment 0001632) that:
"
   I would like to propose an alternate solution. For readdir, replace the text:
    "The readdir() function need not be thread-safe."
   with:
    "If multiple threads call the readdir() function with the same directory
    stream argument and without synchronization to preclude simultaneous
    access, then the behavior is undefined."

   With this change, the clunky readdir_r function is no longer needed or
   useful, and should probably be deprecated. As the only reasonable way
   to meet the implementation requirements for readdir is to have the dirent
   buffer in the DIR structure, this change should not require any change to
   existing implementations.

--

From the GNU libc manual [3]:
"
 It is expected that future versions of POSIX will obsolete readdir_r and
 mandate the level of thread safety for readdir which is provided by the
 GNU C Library and other implementations today.
"

There is a filed bug in the Austin Group Defect Tracker [4]  in which 'dalias'
proposes (in comment 0001632) that:
"
   I would like to propose an alternate solution. For readdir, replace the text:
    "The readdir() function need not be thread-safe."
   with:
    "If multiple threads call the readdir() function with the same directory
    stream argument and without synchronization to preclude simultaneous
    access, then the behavior is undefined."

   With this change, the clunky readdir_r function is no longer needed or
   useful, and should probably be deprecated. As the only reasonable way
   to meet the implementation requirements for readdir is to have the dirent
   buffer in the DIR structure, this change should not require any change to
   existing implementations.

Andrew Cooper c52319642b x86/cpuid: Calculate a guests xfeature_mask from its featureset
libxc current performs the xstate calculation for guests, and provides the
information to Xen to be used when satisfying CPUID traps.  (There is further
work planned to improve this arrangement, but the worst a buggy toolstack can
do is make junk appear in the cpuid leaves for the guest.)

dom0 however has no policy constructed for it, and certain fields filter
straight through from hardware.

Linux queries CPUID.7[0].{EAX/EDX} alone to choose a setting for %xcr0, which
is a valid action to take, but features such as MPX and PKRU are not supported
for PV guests.  As a result, Linux, using leaked hardware information, fails
to set %xcr0 on newer Skylake hardware with PKRU support, and crashes.

As an interim solution, dynamically calculate the correct xfeature_mask and
xstate_size to report to the guest for CPUID.7[0] queries.  This ensures that
domains don't see leaked hardware values, even when no cpuid policy is
provided.

Similarly, CPUID.7[1]{ECX/EDX} represents the applicable settings for MSR_XSS.
As Xen doesn't yet support any XSS states in guests, unconditionally zero
them.

Jan Beulich 268ead59ce VMX: relax incoming BNDCFGS check
Accepting zero here even when !cpu_has_mpx makes the restore side
symmetric to the save logic (which avoids saving the value if zero),
i.e. makes either side independent of the logic on the other side.

Andrew Cooper 9ab1bd9ab6 xen/arm: Don't free p2m->root in p2m_teardown() before it has been allocated
If p2m_init() didn't complete successfully, (e.g. due to VMID
exhaustion), p2m_teardown() is called and unconditionally tries to free
p2m->root before it has been allocated.  free_domheap_pages() doesn't
tolerate NULL pointers.

Ian Jackson 91fbfc37f5 libxl: Document ~/serial/ correctly
xenstore-paths.markdown talked about ~/device/serial/, but that's not
used.

(It is very wrong for this value, which contains a driver domain
filesystem path, to be in the guest's area of xenstore.  However, it
is only ever created by libxl and ready by xenconsoled.  When it is
created, it inherits the read-only permissions of /local/domain/DOMID.
So there is no security bug.)
