The patch file 00cvs is an import of a new upstream version of
grub1 from upstream CVS.
Unfortunately, in the period covered by the update, upstream changed
the documentation licence from a simple permissive licence, to the GNU
"Free Documentation Licence" with Front and Back Cover Texts.
The Debian Project is of the view that use the Front and Back Cover
Texts feature of the GFDL makes the resulting document not Free
Software, because of the mandatory redistribution of these immutable
texts. (Personally, I agree.)
This is awkward because Debian do not want to ship non-free content.
So the Debian maintainers need to launder the upstream source code, to
remove the troublesome files. This is an extra step when
incorporating new upstream versions. It's particularly annoying for
security response, which often involves rebasing onto a new upstream
release.
grub1 is obsolete and the last change to Xen's PV grub1 stubdom code
was in 2016. Furthermore, the grub1 documentation is not built and
installed by the Xen pv-grub stubdom Makefiles.
Therefore, remove all docs changes from stubdom/grub.patches. This
means that there are now no longer any GFDL-licenced grub docs in
xen.git.
There is no user impact, and Debian is helped. This change would
complicate any attempts to update to a new version of upstream grub1,
but it seems unlikely that such a thing will ever happen.

master date: 2018-09-27 11:17:47 +0100
Whether or not a CPU is assigned to a runqueue (and, if yes, to which
one) within a Credit2 scheduler instance must be both a per-cpu and
per-scheduler instance one.
In fact, when we move a CPU between cpupools, we first setup its per-cpu
data in the new pool, and then cleanup its per-cpu data from the old
pool. In Credit2, when there currently is no per-scheduler, per-cpu
data (as the cpu-to-runqueue map is stored on a per-cpu basis only),
this means that the cleanup of the old per-cpu data can mess with the
new per-cpu data, leading to crashes like this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org/msg23306.htmlhttps://www.mail-archive.com/xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org/msg23350.html
Basically, when csched2_deinit_pdata() is called for CPU 13, for fully
removing the CPU from Pool-0, per_cpu(13,runq_map) already contain the
id of the runqueue to which the CPU has been assigned in the scheduler
of Pool-1, which means wrong runqueue manipulations happen in Pool-0's
scheduler. Furthermore, at the end of such call, that same runq_map is
updated with -1, which is what causes the BUG_ON in csched2_schedule(),
on CPU 13, to trigger.
So, instead of reverting a2c4e5ab59 "xen: credit2: make the cpu to
runqueue map per-cpu" (as we don't want to go back to having the huge
array in struct csched2_private) add a per-cpu scheduler specific data
structure, like, for instance, Credit1 has already. That (for now) only
contains one field: the id of the runqueue the CPU is assigned to.

When emulating a rep I/O operation it is possible that the ioreq will
describe a single operation that spans multiple GFNs. This is fine as long
as all those GFNs fall within an MMIO region covered by a single device
model, but unfortunately the higher levels of the emulation code do not
guarantee that. This is something that should almost certainly be fixed,
but in the meantime this patch makes sure that MMIO is truncated at GFN
boundaries and hence the appropriate device model is re-evaluated for each
target GFN.
NOTE: This patch does not deal with the case of a single MMIO operation
spanning a GFN boundary. That is more complex to deal with and is
deferred to a subsequent patch.

cpuidle_init_cpu(1) ran on CPU 0 while some other CPU held the lock (the

hvm_select_ioreq_server() is used to route an ioreq to the appropriate
ioreq server. For MMIO this is done by comparing the range of the ioreq
to the ranges registered by the device models of each ioreq server.
Unfortunately the calculation of the range if the ioreq completely ignores
the direction flag and thus may calculate the wrong range for comparison.
Thus the ioreq may either be routed to the wrong server or erroneously
terminated by null_ops.

Firstly, there is no 'offset' boundary check on the non-32-bit write path
before the call to vlapic_read_aligned(), which allows an attacker to read
beyond the end of vlapic->regs->data[], which is only 1024 bytes long.
However, as the backing memory is a domheap page, and misaligned accesses get
chunked down to single bytes across page boundaries, I can't spot any
XSA-worthy problems which occur from the overrun.
On real hardware, bad accesses don't instantly crash the machine. Their
behaviour is undefined, but the domain_crash() prohibits sensible testing.
Behave more like other x86 MMIO and terminate bad accesses with appropriate
defaults.
While making these changes, clean up and simplify the the smaller-access
handling. In particular, avoid pointer based mechansims for 1/2-byte reads so
as to avoid forcing the value to be spilled to the stack.

(cherry picked from commit 47bc2c29b5)
XSA-273 involves one hyperthread being able to use Spectre-like
techniques to "spy" on another thread. The details are somewhat
complicated, but the upshot is that after all Xen-based mitigations
have been applied:
* PV guests cannot spy on sibling threads
* HVM guests can spy on sibling threads
(NB that for purposes of this vulnerability, PVH and HVM guests are
identical. Whenever this comment refers to 'HVM', this includes PVH.)
There are many possible mitigations to this, including disabling
hyperthreading entirely. But another solution would be:
* Specify some cores as PV-only, others as PV or HVM
* Allow HVM guests to only run on thread 0 of the "HVM-or-PV" cores
* Allow PV guests to run on the above cores, as well as any thread of the PV-only cores.
For example, suppose you had 16 threads across 8 cores (0-7). You
could specify 0-3 as PV-only, and 4-7 as HVM-or-PV. Then you'd set
the affinity of the HVM guests as follows (binary representation):
0000000010101010
And the affinity of the PV guests as follows:
1111111110101010
In order to make this easy, this patches introduces three "global affinity
masks", placed in xl.conf:
vm.cpumask
vm.hvm.cpumask
vm.pv.cpumask
These are parsed just like the 'cpus' and 'cpus_soft' options in the
per-domain xl configuration files. The resulting mask is AND-ed with
whatever mask results at the end of the xl configuration file.
`vm.cpumask` would be applied to all guest types, `vm.hvm.cpumask`
would be applied to HVM and PVH guest types, and `vm.pv.cpumask`
would be applied to PV guest types.
The idea would be that to implement the above mask across all your
VMs, you'd simply add the following two lines to the configuration
file:
vm.hvm.cpumask=8,10,12,14
vm.pv.cpumask=0-8,10,12,14

The VPMU_MODE_OFF early-exit in vpmu_do_wrmsr() introduced by c/s

From a correctness standpoint, it is not possible to have two different
pieces of code responsible for different parts of value checking, if
there isn't an accumulation of bits which have been checked. A
practical upshot of this is that a guest can set any value it
wishes (usually resulting in a vmentry failure for bad guest state).

and save lists, by pointing VM_EXIT_MSR_STORE_ADDR and VM_ENTRY_MSR_LOAD_ADDR
at the same page, and setting VM_EXIT_MSR_STORE_COUNT and
VM_ENTRY_MSR_LOAD_COUNT to the same value.
However, for MSRs which we won't let the guest have direct access to, having
hardware save the current value on VMExit is unnecessary overhead.
To avoid this overhead, we must make the load and save lists asymmetric. By
making the entry load count greater than the exit store count, we can maintain
two adjacent lists of MSRs, the first of which is saved and restored, and the
second of which is only restored on VMEntry.
For simplicity:
* Both adjacent lists are still sorted by MSR index.
* It undefined behaviour to insert the same MSR into both lists.
* The total size of both lists is still limited at 256 entries (one 4k page).
Split the current msr_count field into msr_{load,save}_count, and introduce a
new VMX_MSR_GUEST_LOADONLY type, and update vmx_{add,find}_msr() to calculate
which sublist to search, based on type. VMX_MSR_HOST has no logical sublist,
whereas VMX_MSR_GUEST has a sublist between 0 and the save count, while
VMX_MSR_GUEST_LOADONLY has a sublist between the save count and the load
count.
One subtle point is that inserting an MSR into the load-save list involves
moving the entire load-only list, and updating both counts.

(cherry picked from commit 1ac46b5563)
The main purpose of this change is to allow us to set a specific MSR value,
without needing to know whether there is already a load/save list slot for it.
Previously, callers wanting this property needed to call both vmx_add_*_msr()
and vmx_write_*_msr() to cover both cases, and there are no callers which want
the old behaviour of being a no-op if an entry already existed for the MSR.
As a result of this API improvement, the default value for guest MSRs need not
be 0, and the default for host MSRs need not be passed via hardware register.
In practice, this cleans up the VPMU allocation logic, and avoids an MSR read
as part of vcpu construction.

(cherry picked from commit ee7689b94a)
The main purpose of this patch is to only ever insert the LBR MSRs into the
guest load/save list once, as a future patch wants to change the behaviour of
vmx_add_guest_msr().
The repeated processing of lbr_info and the guests MSR load/save list is
redundant, and a guest using LBR itself will have to re-enable
MSR_DEBUGCTL.LBR in its #DB handler, meaning that Xen will repeat this
redundant processing every time the guest gets a debug exception.
Rename lbr_fixup_enabled to lbr_flags to be a little more generic, and use one
bit to indicate that the MSRs have been inserted into the load/save list.
Shorten the existing FIXUP* identifiers to reduce code volume.
Furthermore, handing the guest #MC on an error isn't a legitimate action. Two
of the three failure cases are definitely hypervisor bugs, and the third is a
boundary case which shouldn't occur in practice. The guest also won't execute
correctly, so handle errors by cleanly crashing the guest.

At the moment, all modifications of the MSR lists are in current context.
However, future changes may need to put MSR_EFER into the lists from domctl
hypercall context.
Plumb a struct vcpu parameter down through the infrastructure, and use
vmx_vmcs_{enter,exit}() for safe access to the VMCS in vmx_add_msr(). Use
assertions to ensure that access is either in current context, or while the
vcpu is paused.
Note these expectations beside the fields in arch_vmx_struct, and reorder the
fields to avoid unnecessary padding.

Instead of having multiple algorithms searching the MSR lists, implement a
single one. It has the semantics required by vmx_add_msr(), to identify the
position in which an MSR should live, if it isn't already present.
There will be a marginal improvement for vmx_find_msr() by avoiding the
function pointer calls to vmx_msr_entry_key_cmp(), and a major improvement for
vmx_add_msr() by using a binary search instead of a linear search.

Collect together related infrastructure in vmcs.h, rather than having it
spread out. Turn vmx_{read,write}_guest_msr() into static inlines, as they
are simple enough.
Replace 'int type' with 'enum vmx_msr_list_type', and use switch statements
internally. Later changes are going to introduce a new type.
Rename the type identifiers for consistency with the other VMX_MSR_*

(cherry picked from commit f30e3cf340)
Currently, whenever the guest writes a nonzero value to MSR_DEBUGCTL, Xen
updates a host MSR load list entry with the current hardware value of
MSR_DEBUGCTL.
On VMExit, hardware automatically resets MSR_DEBUGCTL to 0. Later, when the
guest writes to MSR_DEBUGCTL, the current value in hardware (0) is fed back
into guest load list. As a practical result, `ler` debugging gets lost on any
PCPU which has ever scheduled an HVM vcpu, and the common case when `ler`
debugging isn't active, guest actions result in an unnecessary load list entry
repeating the MSR_DEBUGCTL reset.
Restoration of Xen's debugging setting needs to happen from the very first
vmexit. Due to the automatic reset, Xen need take no action in the general
case, and only needs to load a value when debugging is active.
This could be fixed by using a host MSR load list entry set up during
construct_vmcs(). However, a more efficient option is to use an alternative
block in the VMExit path, keyed on whether hypervisor debugging has been
enabled.
In order to set this up, drop the per cpu ler_msr variable (as there is no
point having it per cpu when it will be the same everywhere), and use a single
read_mostly variable instead. Split calc_ler_msr() out of percpu_traps_init()
for clarity.
Finally, clean up do_debug(). Reinstate LBR early to help catch cascade
errors, which allows for the removal of the out label.

As it currently stands, 'xpti=dom0' is indistinguishable from the default
value, which means it will be overridden by ARCH_CAPABILITIES_RDCL_NO on fixed
hardware.
Switch opt_xpti to use -1 as a default like all our other related options, and
clobber it as soon as we have a string to parse.
In addition, 'xpti' alone should be interpreted in its positive boolean form,
rather than resulting in a parse error.

The calls to xpti_init_default() in parse_xpti() are buggy. The CPUID data
hasn't been fetched that early, and boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_ARCH_CAPS) will
always evaluate false.
As a result, the default case won't disable XPTI on Intel hardware which
advertises ARCH_CAPABILITIES_RDCL_NO.
Simplify parse_xpti() to solely the setting of opt_xpti according to the
passed string, and have init_speculation_mitigations() call
xpti_init_default() if appropiate. Drop the force parameter, and pass caps
instead, to avoid redundant re-reading of MSR_ARCH_CAPS.

It turns out that nothing ever prevented HVM guests from trying to set unknown
EFER bits. Generally, this results in a vmentry failure.
For Intel hardware, all implemented bits are covered by the checks.
For AMD hardware, the only EFER bit which isn't covered by the checks is TCE
(which AFAICT is specific to AMD Fam15/16 hardware). We never advertise TCE
in CPUID, but it isn't a security problem to have TCE unexpected enabled in
guest context.
Disallow the setting of bits outside of the EFER_KNOWN_MASK, which prevents
any vmentry failures for guests, yielding #GP instead.
