To protect against the TSX Async Abort speculative vulnerability, Intel have
released new microcode for affected parts which introduce the MSR_TSX_CTRL
control, which allows TSX to be turned off. This will be architectural on
future parts.
Introduce tsx= to provide a global on/off for TSX, including its enumeration
via CPUID. Provide stub virtualisation of this MSR, as it is not exposed to
guests at the moment.
VMs may have booted before microcode is loaded, or before hosts have rebooted,
and they still want to migrate freely. A VM which booted seeing TSX can
migrate safely to hosts with TSX disabled - TSX will start unconditionally
aborting, but still behave in a manner compatible with the ABI.
The guest-visible behaviour is equivalent to late loading the microcode and
setting the RTM_DISABLE bit in the course of live patching.

CVE-2018-12207 covers a set of errata on various Intel processors, whereby a
machine check exception can be generated in a corner case when an executable
mapping changes size or cacheability without TLB invalidation. HVM guest
kernels can trigger this to DoS the host.
To mitigate, in affected hardware, all EPT superpages are marked NX. When an
instruction fetch violation is observed against the superpage, the superpage
is shattered to 4k and has execute permissions restored. This prevents the
guest kernel from being able to create the necessary preconditions in the iTLB
to exploit the vulnerability.
This does come with a workload-dependent performance overhead, caused by
increased TLB pressure. Performance can be restored, if guest kernels are
trusted not to mount an attack, by specifying ept=exec-sp on the command line.

The vif-route script should only call 'ip route' when 'ipcmd' has been

This patch also adds routes for 'tap' (i.e. emulated) devices as well as
'vif' (i.e. PV) devices. Empirically offline/online commands relate to
'vif' devices, and add/remove commands relate to 'tap' devices. However,
this patch treats them equally and uses ${type_if} to distinguish. By
adding cases for add/remove the command list becomes exhaustive and hence
'ipcmd' is guaranteed to be set.
Routes for 'tap' and 'vif' devices are distinguished by a route metric.
Emulated devices are used by HVM guests until they are unplugged, at which
point the PV device becomes active. Thus 'tap' devices should get a higher
priority (i.e. lower numbered) metric than 'vif' devices.

When a SError/Asynchronous Abort generated by the guest has been
consumed, we will skip the handling of the initial exception.
This includes the calls to enter_hypervisor_from_guest{, _noirq} that
is used to synchronize part of the guest state with the internal
representation and re-enable workarounds (e.g. SSBD). However, we still
call leave_hypervisor_to_guest() which is used for preempting the guest
and synchronizing back part of the guest state.
enter_hypervisor_from_guest{, _noirq} works in pair with
leave_hypervisor_to_guest(), so skipping the first two may result
in a loss of some part of guest state.
An example is the new vGIC which will save the state of the LRs on exit
from the guest and rewrite all of them on entry to the guest.
A more worrying example is SSBD workaround may not be re-enabled. If
leave_hypervisor_to_guest() is rescheduling the vCPU, then we may end to
run a lot of code with SSBD workaroud disabled.
For now, calling leave_hypervisor_to_guest() is not necessary when
injecting a vSError to the guest. But it would still be good to give an
opportunity to reschedule. So both enter_hypervisor_from_guest() and
leave_hypervisor_to_guest() are called.
Note that on arm64, the return value for check_pending_vserror is now
stored in x19 instead of x0. This is because we want to keep the value
across call to C-functions (x0, unlike x19, will not be saved by the
callee).
Take the opportunity to rename check_pending_vserror() to
check_pending_guest_serror() as the function is dealing with host SError
and *not* virtual SError. The documentation is also updated accross
Arm32 and Arm64 to clarify how Xen is dealing with SError generated by
the guest.

In some cases, one side of an alternative sequence is simply a number of
NOPs used to balance the other side. Keeping track of this manually is
tedious, and the presence of large chains of NOPs makes the code more
painful to read than necessary.
To ameliorate matters, this patch adds a new alternative_else_nop_endif,
which automatically balances an alternative sequence with a trivial NOP
sled.
In many cases, we would like a NOP-sled in the default case, and
instructions patched in in the presence of a feature. To enable the NOPs
to be generated automatically for this case, this patch also adds a new
alternative_if, and updates alternative_else and alternative_endif to
work with either alternative_if or alternative_endif.
The alternative infrastructure was originally ported from Linux. So this

Per the Arm ARM (D4.5 in ARM DDI 0487E.a), SError may be precise or
imprecise.
Imprecise means the state presented to the exception handler is not
guaranteed to be consistent with any point in the excution stream from
which the exception was taken. In other words, they are likely to be
fatal as you can't return safely from them.
Without the RAS extension, the Arm architecture does not provide a way
to differentiate between imprecise and precise SError. Furthermore Xen
has no support for RAS yet. So from a software POV, there is not much
we can do.
More generally, forwarding blindly SErrors to the guest is likely to be
the wrong thing to do. Indeed, Xen is not able to know what is the
content of the SError. This may be a critical device used by the
hypervisor that is about to fail.
In a nutshell, the option serrors=forward is not safe to use in any
environment with the current state of Xen. Therefore the option and any
code related to it are completely removed.
Take the opportunity to rework the comment in do_trap_data_abort() as
all SErrors/External Abort generated by the hypervisor will result in
a crash of the system no matter what the user passed on the command
line.

When serrors=diverse is selected by the user, we will only synchronize
the pending SErrors on entry to hypervisor from guest context and exit
from guest to hypervisor context.
We don't need synchronize SErrors between guest context switch as they
would be categorized to Hypervisor generated SErrors in any case.
