x86/HVM: restrict HVMOP_set_mem_type
Permitting arbitrary type changes here has the potential of creating
present P2M (and hence EPT/NPT/IOMMU) entries pointing to an invalid
MFN (INVALID_MFN truncated to the respective hardware structure field's
width). This would become a problem the latest when something real sat
at the end of the physical address space; I'm suspecting though that
other things might break with such bogus entries.
Along with that drop a bogus (and otherwise becoming stale) log

Afaict the similar operation in p2m_set_mem_access() is safe.

flask: restrict allocations done by hypercall interface
Other than in 4.2 and newer, we're not having an overflow issue here,
but uncontrolled exposure of the operations opens the host to be driven
out of memory by an arbitrary guest. Since all operations other than
FLASK_LOAD simply deal with ASCII strings, limiting the allocations
(and incoming buffer sizes) to a page worth of memory seems like the
best thing we can do.
Consequently, in order to not expose the larger allocation to arbitrary
guests, the permission check for FLASK_LOAD needs to be pulled ahead of
the allocation (and it's perhaps worth noting that - afaict - it was
pointlessly done with the sel_sem spin lock held).
Note that this breaks FLASK_AVC_CACHESTATS on systems with sufficiently
many CPUs (as requiring a buffer bigger than PAGE_SIZE there). No
attempt is made to address this here, as it would needlessly complicate
this fix with rather little gain.
This is XSA-84.

With iommu_interrupt_handler() properly having got switched its readl()
from status to control register, the subsequent writel() needed to be
switched too (and the RW1C comment there was bogus).
Some of the cleanup went too far - undone.
Further, with iommu_interrupt_handler() now actually disabling the
interrupt sources, they also need to get re-enabled by the tasklet once
it finished processing the respective log. This also implies re-running
the tasklet so that log entries added between reading the log and re-
enabling the interrupt will get handled in a timely manner.
Finally, guest write emulation to the status register needs to be done
with the RW1C (and RO for all other bits) semantics in mind too.

AMD/intremap: Prevent use of per-device vector maps until irq logic is fixed
XSA-36 changed the default vector map mode from global to per-device. This is
because a global vector map does not prevent one PCI device from impersonating
another and launching a DoS on the system.
However, the per-device vector map logic is broken for devices with multiple
MSI-X vectors, which can either result in a failed ASSERT() or misprogramming
of a guests interrupt remapping tables. The core problem is not trivial to
fix.
In an effort to get AMD systems back to a non-regressed state, introduce a new
type of vector map called per-device-global. This uses per-device vector maps
in the IOMMU, but uses a single used_vector map for the core IRQ logic.

The XSM check for HVMOP_track_dirty_vram is done with a call to xsm_hvm_param,
therefore the switch handling that case should be located in flask_hvm_param
and not in flask_hvmcontext.

libxl: Restrict permissions on PV console device xenstore nodes
Matthew Daley has observed that the PV console protocol places sensitive host
state into a guest writeable xenstore locations, this includes:
- The pty used to communicate between the console backend daemon and its
client, allowing the guest administrator to read and write arbitrary host
files.
- The output file, allowing the guest administrator to write arbitrary host
files or to target arbitrary qemu chardevs which include sockets, udp, ptr,
pipes etc (see -chardev in qemu(1) for a more complete list).
- The maximum buffer size, allowing the guest administrator to consume more
resources than the host administrator has configured.
- The backend to use (qemu vs xenconsoled), potentially allowing the guest
administrator to confuse host software.
So we arrange to make the sensitive keys in the xenstore frontend directory
read only for the guest. This is safe since the xenstore permissions model,
unlike POSIX directory permissions, does not allow the guest to remove and
recreate a node if it has write access to the containing directory.
There are a few associated wrinkles:
- The primary PV console is "special". It's xenstore node is not under the
usual /devices/ subtree and it does not use the customary xenstore state
machine protocol. Unfortunately its directory is used for other things,
including the vnc-port node, which we do not want the guest to be able to
write to. Rather than trying to track down all the possible secondary uses
of this directory just make it r/o to the guest. All newly created
subdirectories inherit these permissions and so are now safe by default.
- The other serial consoles do use the customary xenstore state machine and
therefore need write access to at least the "protocol" and "state" nodes,
however they may also want to use arbitrary "feature-foo" nodes (although
I'm not aware of any) and therefore we cannot simply lock down the entire
frontend directory. Instead we add support to libxl__device_generic_add for
frontend keys which are explicitly read only and use that to lock down the
sensitive keys.
- Minios' console frontend wants to write the "type" node, which it has no
business doing since this is a host/toolstack level decision. This fails
now that the node has become read only to the PV guest. Since the toolstack
already writes this node just remove the attempt to set it.

In the original patch 7 of the series addressing XSA-45 I mistakenly
took the addition of the call to get_page_light() in alloc_page_type()
to cover two decrements that would happen: One for the PGT_partial bit
that is getting set along with the call, and the other for the page
reference the caller hold (and would be dropping on its error path).
But of course the additional page reference is tied to the PGT_partial
bit, and hence any caller of a function that may leave
->arch.old_guest_table non-NULL for error cleanup purposes has to make
sure a respective page reference gets retained.
Similar issues were then also spotted elsewhere: In effect all callers
of get_page_type_preemptible() need to deal with errors in similar
ways. To make sure error handling can work this way without leaking
page references, a respective assertion gets added to that function.
This is CVE-2013-1432 / XSA-58.

When using a vtsc, hvm_set_guest_time changes hvm_vcpu.stime_offset,
which is used in the vcpu time structure to calculate the
tsc_timestamp, so after updating stime_offset we need to propagate the
change to vcpu_time in order for the guest to get the right time if
using the PV clock.
When booting Xen on VMware ESX 5.1 and Workstation 9, you hit a GPF
during MCE initialization. The culprit is line 631 in
set_poll_bankmask():
bitmap_copy(mb->bank_map, mca_allbanks->bank_map, nr_mce_banks);
What is happening is that in mca_cap_init(), nr_mce_banks is being set
to 0. This causes the allocation of bank_map to be set to
ZERO_BLOCK_PTR which is the return value for zero-size allocation by
xzalloc_array()/_xmalloc(). This results in the bitmap_copy() to fail
disastrously. The following patch fixes this issue.

x86: fix ordering of operations in destroy_irq()
The fix for XSA-36, switching the default of vector map management to
be per-device, exposed more readily a problem with the cleanup of these
vector maps: dynamic_irq_cleanup() clearing desc->arch.used_vectors
keeps the subsequently invoked clear_irq_vector() from clearing the
bits for both the in-use and a possibly still outstanding old vector.
Fix this by folding dynamic_irq_cleanup() into destroy_irq(), which was
its only caller, deferring the clearing of the vector map pointer until
after clear_irq_vector().
Once at it, also defer resetting of desc->handler until after the loop
around smp_mb() checking for IRQ_INPROGRESS to be clear, fixing a
(mostly theoretical) issue with the intercation with do_IRQ(): If we
don't defer the pointer reset, do_IRQ() could, for non-guest IRQs, call
->ack() and ->end() with different ->handler pointers, potentially
leading to an IRQ remaining un-acked. The issue is mostly theoretical
because non-guest IRQs are subject to destroy_irq() only on (boot time)
error paths.
As to the changed locking: Invoking clear_irq_vector() with desc->lock
held is okay because vector_lock already nests inside desc->lock (proven
by set_desc_affinity(), which takes vector_lock and gets called from
various desc->handler->ack implementations, getting invoked with
desc->lock held).

Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow.
Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with

So use only unsigned integers. Exceptions are booleans (which we have

We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own

As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign.

inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect"
negative numbers.

libelf: check all pointer accesses
We change the ELF_PTRVAL and ELF_HANDLE types and associated macros:
* PTRVAL becomes a uintptr_t, for which we provide a typedef
elf_ptrval. This means no arithmetic done on it can overflow so
the compiler cannot do any malicious invalid pointer arithmetic
"optimisations". It also means that any places where we
dereference one of these pointers without using the appropriate
macros or functions become a compilation error.
So we can be sure that we won't miss any memory accesses.
All the PTRVAL variables were previously void* or char*, so
the actual address calculations are unchanged.
* ELF_HANDLE becomes a union, one half of which keeps the pointer
value and the other half of which is just there to record the
type.
The new type is not a pointer type so there can be no address
calculations on it whose meaning would change. Every assignment or
access has to go through one of our macros.
* The distinction between const and non-const pointers and char*s
and void*s in libelf goes away. This was not important (and
anyway libelf tended to cast away const in various places).
* The fields elf->image and elf->dest are renamed. That proves
that we haven't missed any unchecked uses of these actual
pointer values.
* The caller may fill in elf->caller_xdest_base and _size to
specify another range of memory which is safe for libelf to
access, besides the input and output images.
* When accesses fail due to being out of range, we mark the elf
"broken". This will be checked and used for diagnostics in
a following patch.
We do not check for write accesses to the input image. This is
because libelf actually does this in a number of places. So we
simply permit that.
* Each caller of libelf which used to set dest now sets
dest_base and dest_size.
* In xc_dom_load_elf_symtab we provide a new actual-pointer
value hdr_ptr which we get from mapping the guest's kernel
area and use (checking carefully) as the caller_xdest area.
* The STAR(h) macro in libelf-dominfo.c now uses elf_access_unsigned.
* elf-init uses the new elf_uval_3264 accessor to access the 32-bit
fields, rather than an unchecked field access (ie, unchecked
pointer access).
* elf_uval has been reworked to use elf_uval_3264. Both of these
macros are essentially new in this patch (although they are derived
from the old elf_uval) and need careful review.
* ELF_ADVANCE_DEST is now safe in the sense that you can use it to
chop parts off the front of the dest area but if you chop more than
is available, the dest area is simply set to be empty, preventing
future accesses.
* We introduce some #defines for memcpy, memset, memmove and strcpy:
- We provide elf_memcpy_safe and elf_memset_safe which take
PTRVALs and do checking on the supplied pointers.
- Users inside libelf must all be changed to either
elf_mem*_unchecked (which are just like mem*), or
elf_mem*_safe (which take PTRVALs) and are checked. Any
unchanged call sites become compilation errors.
* We do _not_ at this time fix elf_access_unsigned so that it doesn't
make unaligned accesses. We hope that unaligned accesses are OK on
every supported architecture. But it does check the supplied
pointer for validity.

getting strings. This will check that the addresses are in range and
that there is a proper nul-terminated string. Of course it might

libelf/xc_dom_load_elf_symtab: Do not use "syms" uninitialised
xc_dom_load_elf_symtab (with load==0) calls elf_round_up, but it
mistakenly used the uninitialised variable "syms" when calculating
dom->bsd_symtab_start. This should be a reference to "elf".
This change might have the effect of rounding the value differently.
Previously if the uninitialised value (a single byte on the stack) was
ELFCLASS64 (ie, 2), the alignment would be to 8 bytes, otherwise to 4.
However, the value is calculated from dom->kernel_seg.vend so this
could only make a difference if that value wasn't already aligned to 8
bytes.

there's no pending unmasked exception (see CVE-2006-1056 and commit
9747:4d667a139318).
While the FXSR solution sits in the save path, I prefer to have this in
the restore path because there the handling is simpler (namely in the
context of the pending changes to properly save the selector values for
32-bit guest code).
Also this is using FFREE instead of EMMS, as it doesn't seem unlikely
that in the future we may see CPUs with x87 and SSE/AVX but no MMX
support. The goal here anyway is just to avoid an FPU stack overflow.
I would have preferred to use FFREEP instead of FFREE (freeing two
stack slots at once), but AMD doesn't document that instruction.

fix XSA-46 regression with xend/xm
The hypervisor side changes for XSA-46 require the tool stack to now
always map the guest pIRQ before granting access permission to the
underlying host IRQ (GSI). This in particular requires that pciif.py
no longer can skip this step (assuming qemu would do it) for HVM
guests.
This in turn exposes, however, an inconsistency between xend and qemu:
The former wants to always establish 1:1 mappings between pIRQ and host
IRQ (for non-MSI only of course), while the latter always wants to
allocate an arbitrary mapping. Since the whole tool stack obviously
should always agree on the mapping model, make libxc enforce the 1:1
mapping as the more natural one (as well as being the one that allows
for easier debugging, since there no need to find out the extra
mapping). Users of libxc that want to establish a particular (rather
than an allocated) mapping are still free to do so, as well as tool
stacks not based on libxc wanting to implement an allocation based
model (which is why it's not the hypervisor that's being changed to
enforce either model).
Since libxl, like xend, already uses a 1:1 model, it's unaffected by
the libxc change (and it being unaffected by the original hypervisor
side changes is - afaict - simply due to qemu getting spawned at a
later point in time compared to the xend event flow).

For one, IRQs that had their vector set up by Xen internally without a
handler ever having got set (e.g. via "com<n>=..." without a matching
consumer option like "console=com<n>") would wrongly call
add_pin_to_irq() here, triggering the BUG_ON() in that function.
Second, when assign_irq_vector() fails this addition to irq_2_pin[]
needs to be undone.
In the context of this I'm also surprised that the irq_2_pin[]
manipulations here occur without any lock, i.e. rely on Dom0 to do
some sort of serialization.
