ml_interface_{read,write}() would miscalculate the quantity of
data/space in the ring if it crossed the ring boundary, and incorrectly
return a short read/write.
This causes a protocol stall, as either side of the ring ends up waiting
for what they believe to be the other side needing to take the next
action.
Correct the calculations to cope with crossing the ring boundary.
In addition, correct the error detection. It is a hard error if the
producer index gets more than a ring size ahead of the consumer, or if
the consumer ever overtakes the producer.

The fix for XSA-142 is quite a big hammer, rejecting readonly
disk configuration even when the requested backend is known to
support readonly. While it is true that qemu doesn't support
readonly for emulated IDE or AHCI disks
$ /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 \
-drive file=/tmp/disk.raw,if=ide,media=disk,format=raw,readonly=on
qemu-system-i386: Can't use a read-only drive
$ /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 -device ahci,id=ahci0 \
-drive file=/tmp/disk.raw,if=none,id=ahcidisk-0,format=raw,readonly=on \
-device ide-hd,bus=ahci0.0,unit=0,drive=ahcidisk-0
qemu-system-i386: -device ide-hd,bus=ahci0.0,unit=0,drive=ahcidisk-0:

It does support readonly SCSI disks
$ /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 \
-drive file=/tmp/disk.raw,if=scsi,media=disk,format=raw,readonly=on
[ok]
Inside a guest using such a disk, the SCSI kernel driver sees write
protect on
[ 7.339232] sd 2:0:1:0: [sdb] Write Protect is on
Also, PV drivers support readonly, but the patch rejects such
configuration even when PV drivers (vdev=xvd*) have been explicitly
specified and creation of an emulated twin is skiped.
This follow-up patch loosens the restriction to reject readonly when
creating an emulated IDE or AHCI disk, but allows it when the backend
is known to support readonly.

In Quota.merge, we merge two quota hashtables, orig_quota and mod_quota, putting
the results into dest_quota. These hashtables map domids to the number of
entries currently owned by that domain.
When mod_quota contains an entry for a domid that was not present in orig_quota
(or dest_quota), the call to get_entry caused Quota.merge to raise a Not_found
exception. This propagates back to the client as an ENOENT error, which is not
an appropriate return value from some operations, such as transaction_end.
This situation can arise when a transaction that introduces a domain (hence
calling Quota.add_entry) needs to be coalesced due to concurrent xenstore
activity.
This patch handles the merge in the case where mod_quota contains an entry not
present in orig_quota (or in dest_quota) by treating that hashtable as having
existing value 0.

Try to use "xen-qemuuser-domid$domid" first, then
"xen-qemuuser-shared" and root if everything else fails.
The uids need to be manually created by the user or, more likely, by the
xen package maintainer.
Expose a device_model_user setting in libxl_domain_build_info, so that
opinionated callers, such as libvirt, can set any user they like. Do not
fall back to root if device_model_user is set. Users can also set
device_model_user by hand in the xl domain config file.
QEMU is going to setuid and setgid to the user ID and the group ID of
the specified user, soon after initialization, before starting to deal
with any guest IO.
To actually secure QEMU when running in Dom0, we need at least to
deprivilege the privcmd and xenstore interfaces, this is just the first
step in that direction.

pygrub (in identify_disk_image()) detects a DOS style partition table
via the presence of the 0xaa55 signature at the end of the first
sector of the disk.
However this signature is also present in whole-disk configurations
when there is an MBR on the disk. Many filesystems (e.g. ext[234])
include leading padding in their on disk format specifically to enable
this.
So if we think we have a DOS partition table but do not find any
actual partition table entries we may as well try looking at it as a
whole disk image. Worst case is we probe and find there isn't anything
there.
This was reported by Sjors Gielen in Debian bug #745419. The fix was
inspired by a patch by Adi Kriegisch in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745419#27
Tested by genext2fs'ing my /boot into a new raw image (works) and
then:
dd if=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/g2ldr.mbr of=img conv=notrunc bs=512 count=1
to add an MBR (with 0xaa55 signature) to it, which after this patch
also works.

Previously, xenconsoled's daemonize function would do nothing if its
parent process is init (as it is under systemd but not sysv init).
This is confusing. Instead, always daemonize when asked to, but use the
"interactive" switch when running from the systemd service.
Because a pidfile is only written when daemonizing, drop the pidfile
parameters from the service file (systemd keeps track of the pids
anyway).

PoD guests need to balloon at least as far as required by PoD, or risk
crashing. Currently they don't necessarily know what the right value
is, because our memory accounting is (at the very least) confusing.
Apply the memory limit fudge factor to the in-hypervisor PoD memory
target, too. This will increase the size of the guest's PoD cache by
the fudge factor LIBXL_MAXMEM_CONSTANT (currently 1Mby). This ensures
that even with a slightly-off balloon driver, the guest will be
stable even under memory pressure.
There are two call sites of xc_domain_set_pod_target that need fixing:
The one in libxl_set_memory_target is straightforward.
The one in xc_hvm_build_x86.c:setup_guest is more awkward. Simply
setting the PoD target differently does not work because the various
amounts of memory during domain construction no longer match up.
Instead, we adjust the guest memory target in xenstore (but only for
PoD guests).
This introduces a 1Mby discrepancy between the balloon target of a PoD
guest at boot, and the target set by an apparently-equivalent `xl
mem-set' (or similar) later. This approach is low-risk for a security
fix but we need to fix this up properly in xen.git#staging and
probably also in stable trees.
This is XSA-153.

Rather than dirtying a page when establishing a (permanent) mapping,

dirtied upon getting mapped, to avoid the overhead of tracking.)
