Instead of firing all watches for removing a subtree in one go, do so

if they are matching exactly. This avoids firing any watch more than

tools/xenstore: allow removing child of a node exceeding quota

to store all node specific data, this includes the names of all
children of the node.
When deleting a node its parent has to be modified by removing the
name of the to be deleted child from it.
This results in the strange situation that an unprivileged owner of a
node might not succeed in deleting that node in case its parent is
exceeding the quota of that unprivileged user (it might have been
written by dom0), as the user is not allowed to write the updated
parent node.
Fix that by not checking the quota when writing a node for the
purpose of removing a child's name only.
The same applies to transaction handling: a node being read during a
transaction is written to the transaction specific area and it should
not be tested for exceeding the quota, as it might not be owned by
the reader and presumably the original write would have failed if the
node is owned by the reader.

tools/ocaml/xenstored: do permission checks on xenstore root
This was lacking in a disappointing number of places.
The xenstore root node is treated differently from all other nodes, because it
doesn't have a parent, and mutation requires changing the parent.
Unfortunately this lead to open-coding the special case for root into every
single xenstore operation, and out of all the xenstore operations only read
did a permission check when handling the root node.
This means that an unprivileged guest can:
* xenstore-chmod / to its liking and subsequently write new arbitrary nodes
there (subject to quota)
* xenstore-rm -r / deletes almost the entire xenstore tree (xenopsd quickly
refills some, but you are left with a broken system)
* DIRECTORY on / lists all children when called through python
bindings (xenstore-ls stops at /local because it tries to list recursively)
* get-perms on / works too, but that is just a minor information leak

Two cpus entering evtchn_fifo_set_pending() for the same event channel

Note that commit 5f2df45ead7c1195 ("xen/evtchn: rework per event channel

Using a spinlock for the per event channel lock had turned out
problematic due to some paths needing to take the lock are called with
interrupts off, so the lock would need to disable interrupts, which in

For avoiding this race the queue locking in evtchn_fifo_set_pending()

EVTCHN_FIFO_MASKED and EVTCHN_FIFO_LINKED, too. Additionally when an
event channel needs to change queues both queues need to be locked

As the bit is mark as UNKNOWN at boot in Armv8.4, the only safe solution

x86/pv: Flush TLB in response to paging structure changes
With MMU_UPDATE, a PV guest can make changes to higher level pagetables. This
is safe from Xen's point of view (as the update only affects guest mappings),

However, Xen's use of linear pagetables (UPDATE_VA_MAPPING, GNTTABOP_map,
writeable pagetables, etc.) is an implementation detail outside of the
API/ABI.
Changes in the paging structure require invalidations in the linear pagetable
range for subsequent accesses into the linear pagetables to access non-stale
mappings. Xen must provide suitable flushing to prevent intermixed guest
actions from accidentally accessing/modifying the wrong pagetable.
For all L2 and higher modifications, flush the TLB. PV guests cannot create
L2 or higher entries with the Global bit set, so no mappings established in
the linear range can be global. (This could in principle be an order 39 flush
starting at LINEAR_PT_VIRT_START, but no such mechanism exists in practice.)

c/s 9d1d31ad9498 "x86: slightly reduce Meltdown band-aid overhead" removed the

to the L4 path in do_mmu_update().
However, this was unnecessary.
It is the guests responsibility to perform appropriate TLB flushing if the L4
modification altered an established mapping in a flush-relevant way. In this
case, an MMUEXT_OP hypercall will follow. The case which Xen needs to cover
is when new mappings are created, and the resync on the exit-to-guest path
covers this correctly.
There is a corner case with multiple vCPUs in hypercalls at the same time,
which 9d1d31ad9498 changed, and this patch changes back to its original XPTI
behaviour.
Architecturally, established TLB entries can continue to be used until the
broadcast flush has completed. Therefore, even with concurrent hypercalls,
the guest cannot depend on older mappings not being used until an MMUEXT_OP
hypercall completes. Xen's implementation of guest-initiated flushes will
take correct effect on top of an in-progress hypercall, picking up new mapping
setting before the other vCPU's MMUEXT_OP completes.
Note: The correctness of this change is not impacted by whether XPTI uses
global mappings or not. Correctness there depends on the behaviour of Xen on
the entry/exit paths when switching two/from the XPTI "shadow" pagetables.

x86/mm: Prevent some races in hypervisor mapping updates
map_pages_to_xen will attempt to coalesce mappings into 2MiB and 1GiB
superpages if possible, to maximize TLB efficiency. This means both
replacing superpage entries with smaller entries, and replacing
smaller entries with superpages.
Unfortunately, while some potential races are handled correctly,
others are not. These include:
1. When one processor modifies a sub-superpage mapping while another
processor replaces the entire range with a superpage.
Take the following example:
Suppose L3[N] points to L2. And suppose we have two processors, A and
B.
* A walks the pagetables, get a pointer to L2.
* B replaces L3[N] with a 1GiB mapping.
* B Frees L2
* A writes L2[M] #
This is race exacerbated by the fact that virt_to_xen_l[21]e doesn't
handle higher-level superpages properly: If you call virt_xen_to_l2e
on a virtual address within an L3 superpage, you'll either hit a BUG()
(most likely), or get a pointer into the middle of a data page; same
with virt_xen_to_l1 on a virtual address within either an L3 or L2
superpage.
So take the following example:
* A reads pl3e and discovers it to point to an L2.
* B replaces L3[N] with a 1GiB mapping
* A calls virt_to_xen_l2e() and hits the BUG_ON() #
2. When two processors simultaneously try to replace a sub-superpage
mapping with a superpage mapping.
Take the following example:
Suppose L3[N] points to L2. And suppose we have two processors, A and B,
both trying to replace L3[N] with a superpage.
* A walks the pagetables, get a pointer to pl3e, and takes a copy ol3e pointing to L2.
* B walks the pagetables, gets a pointre to pl3e, and takes a copy ol3e pointing to L2.
* A writes the new value into L3[N]
* B writes the new value into L3[N]
* A recursively frees all the L1's under L2, then frees L2
* B recursively double-frees all the L1's under L2, then double-frees L2 #
Fix this by grabbing a lock for the entirety of the mapping update
operation.
Rather than grabbing map_pgdir_lock for the entire operation, however,
repurpose the PGT_locked bit from L3's page->type_info as a lock.
This means that rather than locking the entire address space, we
"only" lock a single 512GiB chunk of hypervisor address space at a
time.
There was a proposal for a lock-and-reverify approach, where we walk
the pagetables to the point where we decide what to do; then grab the
map_pgdir_lock, re-verify the information we collected without the
lock, and finally make the change (starting over again if anything had
changed). Without being able to guarantee that the L2 table wasn't
freed, however, that means every read would need to be considered
potentially unsafe. Thinking carefully about that is probably
something that wants to be done on public, not under time pressure.

evtchn: address races with evtchn_reset()
Neither d->evtchn_port_ops nor max_evtchns(d) may be used in an entirely
lock-less manner, as both may change by a racing evtchn_reset(). In the
common case, at least one of the domain's event lock or the per-channel
lock needs to be held. In the specific case of the inter-domain sending
by evtchn_send() and notify_via_xen_event_channel() holding the other
side's per-channel lock is sufficient, as the channel can't change state
without both per-channel locks held. Without such a channel changing
state, evtchn_reset() can't complete successfully.
Lock-free accesses continue to be permitted for the shim (calling some
otherwise internal event channel functions), as this happens while the
domain is in effectively single-threaded mode. Special care also needs
taking for the shim's marking of in-use ports as ECS_RESERVED (allowing
use of such ports in the shim case is okay because switching into and
hence also out of FIFO mode is impossihble there).
As a side effect, certain operations on Xen bound event channels which
were mistakenly permitted so far (e.g. unmask or poll) will be refused
now.

evtchn: evtchn_reset() shouldn't succeed with still-open ports
While the function closes all ports, it does so without holding any
lock, and hence racing requests may be issued causing new ports to get
opened. This would have been problematic in particular if such a newly
opened port had a port number above the new implementation limit (i.e.
when switching from FIFO to 2-level) after the reset, as prior to
"evtchn: relax port_is_valid()" this could have led to e.g.
evtchn_close()'s "BUG_ON(!port_is_valid(d2, port2))" to trigger.
Introduce a counter of active ports and check that it's (still) no
larger then the number of Xen internally used ones after obtaining the
necessary lock in evtchn_reset().
As to the access model of the new {active,xen}_evtchns fields - while
all writes get done using write_atomic(), reads ought to use
read_atomic() only when outside of a suitably locked region.
Note that as of now evtchn_bind_virq() and evtchn_bind_ipi() don't have

evtchn/x86: enforce correct upper limit for 32-bit guests
The recording of d->max_evtchns in evtchn_2l_init(), in particular with
the limited set of callers of the function, is insufficient. Neither for
PV nor for HVM guests the bitness is known at domain_create() time, yet
the upper bound in 2-level mode depends upon guest bitness. Recording
too high a limit "allows" x86 32-bit domains to open not properly usable
event channels, management of which (inside Xen) would then result in
corruption of the shared info and vCPU info structures.
Keep the upper limit dynamic for the 2-level case, introducing a helper
function to retrieve the effective limit. This helper is now supposed to
be private to the event channel code. The used in do_poll() and
domain_dump_evtchn_info() weren't consistent with port uses elsewhere
and hence get switched to port_is_valid().
Furthermore FIFO mode's setup_ports() gets adjusted to loop only up to
the prior ABI limit, rather than all the way up to the new one.
Finally a word on the change to do_poll(): Accessing ->max_evtchns
without holding a suitable lock was never safe, as it as well as
->evtchn_port_ops may change behind do_poll()'s back. Using
port_is_valid() instead widens some the window for potential abuse,
until we've dealt with the race altogether (see XSA-343).
This is XSA-342.

xen/evtchn: Add missing barriers when accessing/allocating an event channel
While the allocation of a bucket is always performed with the per-domain

evtchn_send()).
Instead such sites relies on port_is_valid() to return a non-zero value
when the port has a struct evtchn associated to it. The function will
mostly check whether the port is less than d->valid_evtchns as all the
buckets/event channels should be allocated up to that point.
Unfortunately a compiler is free to re-order the assignment in
evtchn_allocate_port() so it would be possible to have d->valid_evtchns
updated before the new bucket has finish to allocate.
Additionally on Arm, even if this was compiled "correctly", the
processor can still re-order the memory access.
Add a write memory barrier in the allocation side and a read memory
barrier when the port is valid to prevent any re-ordering issue.

x86/vpt: fix race when migrating timers between vCPUs
The current vPT code will migrate the emulated timers between vCPUs
(change the pt->vcpu field) while just holding the destination lock,
either from create_periodic_time or pt_adjust_global_vcpu_target if
the global target is adjusted. Changing the periodic_timer vCPU field
in this way creates a race where a third party could grab the lock in
the unlocked region of pt_adjust_global_vcpu_target (or before
create_periodic_time performs the vcpu change) and then release the
lock from a different vCPU, creating a locking imbalance.
Introduce a per-domain rwlock in order to protect periodic_time
migration between vCPU lists. Taking the lock in read mode prevents
any timer from being migrated to a different vCPU, while taking it in
write mode allows performing migration of timers across vCPUs. The
per-vcpu locks are still used to protect all the other fields from the

xen: Check the alignment of the offset pased via VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info
Currently a guest is able to register any guest physical address to use
for the vcpu_info structure as long as the structure can fits in the
rest of the frame.
This means a guest can provide an address that is not aligned to the
natural alignment of the structure.
On Arm 32-bit, unaligned access are completely forbidden by the
hypervisor. This will result to a data abort which is fatal.
On Arm 64-bit, unaligned access are only forbidden when used for atomic
access. As the structure contains fields (such as evtchn_pending_self)
that are updated using atomic operations, any unaligned access will be
fatal as well.
While the misalignment is only fatal on Arm, a generic check is added
as an x86 guest shouldn't sensibly pass an unaligned address (this
would result to a split lock).
x86/ept: flush cache when modifying PTEs and sharing page tables
Modifications made to the page tables by EPT code need to be written
to memory when the page tables are shared with the IOMMU, as Intel
IOMMUs can be non-coherent and thus require changes to be written to
memory in order to be visible to the IOMMU.
In order to achieve this make sure data is written back to memory
after writing an EPT entry when the recalc bit is not set in
atomic_write_ept_entry. If such bit is set, the entry will be
adjusted and atomic_write_ept_entry will be called a second time
without the recalc bit set. Note that when splitting a super page the
new tables resulting of the split should also be written back.
Failure to do so can allow devices behind the IOMMU access to the
stale super page, or cause coherency issues as changes made by the
processor to the page tables are not visible to the IOMMU.
This allows to remove the VT-d specific iommu_pte_flush helper, since
the cache write back is now performed by atomic_write_ept_entry, and
hence iommu_iotlb_flush can be used to flush the IOMMU TLB. The newly
used method (iommu_iotlb_flush) can result in less flushes, since it
might sometimes be called rightly with 0 flags, in which case it
becomes a no-op.

xen/rwlock: Add missing memory barrier in the unlock path of rwlock
The rwlock unlock paths are using atomic_sub() to release the lock.
However the implementation of atomic_sub() rightfully doesn't contain a
memory barrier. On Arm, this means a processor is allowed to re-order
the memory access with the preceeding access.
In other words, the unlock may be seen by another processor before all
the memory accesses within the "critical" section.
The rwlock paths already contains barrier indirectly, but they are not
very useful without the counterpart in the unlock paths.
The memory barriers are not necessary on x86 because loads/stores are
not re-ordered with lock instructions.
So add arch_lock_release_barrier() in the unlock paths that will only
add memory barrier on Arm.
Take the opportunity to document each lock paths explaining why a
barrier is not necessary.

xenoprof: limit consumption of shared buffer data
Since a shared buffer can be written to by the guest, we may only read
the head and tail pointers from there (all other fields should only ever
be written to). Furthermore, for any particular operation the two values
must be read exactly once, with both checks and consumption happening
with the thus read values. (The backtrace related xenoprof_buf_space()
use in xenoprof_log_event() is an exception: The values used there get
re-checked by every subsequent xenoprof_add_sample().)
Since that code needed touching, also fix the double increment of the
lost samples count in case the backtrace related xenoprof_add_sample()
invocation in xenoprof_log_event() fails.
Where code is being touched anyway, add const as appropriate, but take
the opportunity to entirely drop the now unused domain parameter of
xenoprof_buf_space().

There is a bug in commit 5e4b4199667b9 ("xen: credit2: only reset
credit on reset condition"). In fact, the aim of that commit was to
make sure that we do not perform too many credit reset operations
(which are not super cheap, and in an hot-path). But the check used
to determine whether a reset is necessary was the wrong one.
In fact, knowing just that some vCPUs have been skipped, while
traversing the runqueue (in runq_candidate()), is not enough. We
need to check explicitly whether the first vCPU in the runqueue
has a negative amount of credit.
Since a trace record is changed, this patch updates xentrace format file
and xenalyze as well
credit2: avoid vCPUs to ever reach lower credits than idle
There have been report of stalls of guest vCPUs, when Credit2 was used.
It seemed like these vCPUs were not getting scheduled for very long
time, even under light load conditions (e.g., during dom0 boot).
Investigations led to the discovery that --although rarely-- it can
happen that a vCPU manages to run for very long timeslices. In Credit2,
this means that, when runtime accounting happens, the vCPU will lose a
large quantity of credits. This in turn may lead to the vCPU having less
credits than the idle vCPUs (-2^30). At this point, the scheduler will
pick the idle vCPU, instead of the ready to run vCPU, for a few
"epochs", which often times is enough for the guest kernel to think the
vCPU is not responding and crashing.
An example of this situation is shown here. In fact, we can see d0v1
sitting in the runqueue while all the CPUs are idle, as it has
-1254238270 credits, which is smaller than -2^30 = −1073741824:
We certainly don't want, under any circumstance, this to happen.
Let's, therefore, define a minimum amount of credits a vCPU can have.
During accounting, we make sure that, for however long the vCPU has
run, it will never get to have less than such minimum amount of
credits. Then, we set the credits of the idle vCPU to an even
smaller value.
NOTE: investigations have been done about _how_ it is possible for a
vCPU to execute for so much time that its credits becomes so low. While
still not completely clear, there are evidence that:
- it only happens very rarely,
- it appears to be both machine and workload specific,
- it does not look to be a Credit2 (e.g., as it happens when
running with Credit1 as well) issue, or a scheduler issue.
This patch makes Credit2 more robust to events like this, whatever
the cause is, and should hence be backported (as far as possible).

The latter sequence is heavier than SB but it would never be executed
(this is speculation after all!).
Introduce a new macro 'sb' that could be used when a speculation barrier
is required. For now it is using dsb; isb but this could easily be
updated to cater SB in the future.
