* SBPB indicates support for a relaxed form of IBPB that does not flush

x86/cpu-policy: Advertise MSR_ARCH_CAPS to guests by default
With xl/libxl now able to control the policy bits for MSR_ARCH_CAPS, it is
safe to advertise to guests by default. In turn, we don't need the special
case to expose details to dom0.
This advertises MSR_ARCH_CAPS to guests on *all* Intel hardware, even if the
register content ends up being empty.
- Advertising ARCH_CAPS and not RSBA signals "retpoline is safe here and
everywhere you might migrate to". This is important because it avoids the
guest kernel needing to rely on model checks.
- Alternatively, levelling for safety across the Broadwell/Skylake divide
requires advertising ARCH_CAPS and RSBA, meaning "retpoline not safe on
some hardware you might migrate to".
On Cascade Lake and later hardware, guests can now see RDCL_NO (not vulnerable
to Meltdown) amongst others. This causes substantial performance
improvements, as guests are no longer applying software mitigations in cases
where they don't need to.

x86/cpu-policy: Derive RSBA/RRSBA for guest policies
The RSBA bit, "RSB Alternative", means that the RSB may use alternative
predictors when empty. From a practical point of view, this mean "Retpoline
not safe".
Enhanced IBRS (officially IBRS_ALL in Intel's docs, previously IBRS_ATT) is a
statement that IBRS is implemented in hardware (as opposed to the form
retrofitted to existing CPUs in microcode).
The RRSBA bit, "Restricted-RSBA", is a combination of RSBA, and the eIBRS
property that predictions are tagged with the mode in which they were learnt.
Therefore, it means "when eIBRS is active, the RSB may fall back to
alternative predictors but restricted to the current prediction mode". As
such, it's stronger statement than RSBA, but still means "Retpoline not safe".
CPUs are not expected to enumerate both RSBA and RRSBA.
Add feature dependencies for EIBRS and RRSBA. While technically they're not
linked, absolutely nothing good can come of letting the guest see RRSBA
without EIBRS. Nor a guest seeing EIBRS without IBRSB. Furthermore, we use
this dependency to simplify the max derivation logic.
The max policies gets RSBA and RRSBA unconditionally set (with the EIBRS
dependency maybe hiding RRSBA). We can run any VM, even if it has been told
"somewhere you might run, Retpoline isn't safe".
The default policies are more complicated. A guest shouldn't see both bits,
but it needs to see one if the current host suffers from any form of RSBA, and
which bit it needs to see depends on whether eIBRS is visible or not.
Therefore, the calculation must be performed after sanitise_featureset().

Identifying this highlights a latent bug - the two halves of the MSR_ARCH_CAPS
bodge are asymmetric with respect to the hardware domain. This means that
shim, or a control-only dom0 sees the MSR_ARCH_CAPS CPUID bit but none of the
MSR content. This in turn declares the hardware to be retpoline-safe by
failing to advertise the {R,}RSBA bits appropriately. Restrict this logic to
the hardware domain, although the special case will cease to exist shortly.
For the CPUID Faulting adjustment, the comment in ctxt_switch_levelling()
isn't actually relevant. Provide a better explanation.
Move the recalculate_cpuid_policy() call outside of the dom0-cpuid= case.
This is no change for now, but will become necessary shortly.
Finally, place the second half of the MSR_ARCH_CAPS bodge after the
recalculate_cpuid_policy() call. This is necessary to avoid transiently
breaking the hardware domain's view while the handling is cleaned up. This
special case will cease to exist shortly.

Running $(MAKE) like that in a $(shell ) while parsing the Makefile

Also, it isn't possible to distinguish between the output produced by

Instead of running make, this patch "improve" `version.sh` to try to
guess the output of `make xenversion`.
In order to have version.sh works in more scenario, it will use
XEN_EXTRAVERSION and XEN_VENDORVERSION from the environment when
present. As for the cases were those two variables are overridden by a

x86/shadow: account for log-dirty mode when pre-allocating
Pre-allocation is intended to ensure that in the course of constructing
or updating shadows there won't be any risk of just made shadows or
shadows being acted upon can disappear under our feet. The amount of
pages pre-allocated then, however, needs to account for all possible
subsequent allocations. While the use in sh_page_fault() accounts for
all shadows which may need making, so far it didn't account for
allocations coming from log-dirty tracking (which piggybacks onto the
P2M allocation functions).
Since shadow_prealloc() takes a count of shadows (or other data
structures) rather than a count of pages, putting the adjustment at the
call site of this function won't work very well: We simply can't express
the correct count that way in all cases. Instead take care of this in
the function itself, by "snooping" for L1 type requests. (While not
applicable right now, future new request sites of L1 tables would then
also be covered right away.)
It is relevant to note here that pre-allocations like the one done from
shadow_alloc_p2m_page() are benign when they fall in the "scope" of an
earlier pre-alloc which already included that count: The inner call will
simply find enough pages available then; it'll bail right away.

tools/xenstore: harden transaction finalization against errors
When finalizing a transaction, any error occurring after checking for
conflicts will result in the transaction being performed only
partially today. Additionally accounting data will not be updated at
the end of the transaction, which might result in further problems
later.
Avoid those problems by multiple modifications:
- free any transaction specific nodes which don't need to be committed
as they haven't been written during the transaction as soon as their
generation count has been verified, this will reduce the risk of
out-of-memory situations
- store the transaction specific node name in struct accessed_node in
order to avoid the need to allocate additional memory for it when
finalizing the transaction
- don't stop the transaction finalization when hitting an error
condition, but try to continue to handle all modified nodes
- in case of a detected error do the accounting update as needed and
call the data base checking only after that
- if writing a node in a transaction is failing (e.g. due to a failed
quota check), fail the transaction, as prior changes to struct
accessed_node can't easily be undone in that case
In case a node has been created in a transaction and it is later
deleted in the same transaction, the transaction will be terminated
with an error.
As this error is encountered only when handling the deleted node at
transaction finalization, the transaction will have been performed
partially and without updating the accounting information. This will
enable a malicious guest to create arbitrary number of nodes.

tools/xenstore: make the internal memory data base the default
Having a file backed data base has the only advantage of being capable
to dump the contents of it while Xenstore is running, and potentially
using less swap space in case the data base can't be kept in memory.
It has the major disadvantage of a huge performance overhead: switching
to keep the data base in memory only speeds up live update of xenstored
with 120000 nodes from 20 minutes to 11 seconds. A complete tree walk
of this configuration will be reduced from 7 seconds to 280 msecs
(measured by "xenstore-control check").
So make the internal memory data base the default and enhance the

allowing to switch the internal data base back to the file based one.
tools/xenstore: remove nodes owned by destroyed domain
In case a domain is removed from Xenstore, remove all nodes owned by
it per default.
This tackles the problem that nodes might be created by a domain
outside its home path in Xenstore, leading to Xenstore hogging more
and more memory. Domain quota don't work in this case if the guest is
rebooting in between.
Since XSA-322 ownership of such stale nodes is transferred to dom0,
which is helping against unintended access, but not against OOM of
Xenstore.
As a fallback for weird cases add a Xenstore start parameter for
keeping today's way to handle stale nodes, adding the risk of Xenstore
hitting an OOM situation.

In case of write_node() returning an error, remove_child_entry() will
call corrupt() today. This could result in an endless recursion, as
remove_child_entry() is called by corrupt(), too:
Today chk_domain_generation() is being used to check whether a node
permission entry is still valid or whether it is referring to a domain
no longer existing. This is done by comparing the node's and the
domain's generation count.
In case no struct domain is existing for a checked domain, but the
domain itself is valid, chk_domain_generation() assumes it is being
called due to the first node created for a new domain and it will
return success.
This might be wrong in case the checked permission is related to an
old domain, which has just been replaced with a new domain using the
same domid.
Fix that by letting chk_domain_generation() fail in case a struct
domain isn't found. In order to cover the case of the first node for
a new domain try to allocate the needed struct domain explicitly when
processing the related SET_PERMS command. In case a referenced domain
isn't existing, flag the related permission to be ignored right away.
tools/xenstore: don't use conn->in as context for temporary allocations
Using the struct buffered data pointer of the current processed request
for temporary data allocations has a major drawback: the used area (and
with that the temporary data) is freed only after the response of the
request has been written to the ring page or has been read via the
socket. This can happen much later in case a guest isn't reading its
responses fast enough.
As the temporary data can be safely freed after creating the response,
add a temporary context for that purpose and use that for allocating
the temporary memory, as it was already the case before commit cc0612464896 ("xenstore: add small default data buffer to internal

tools/ocaml: Limit maximum in-flight requests / outstanding replies
Introduce a limit on the number of outstanding reply packets in the xenbus
queue. This limits the number of in-flight requests: when the output queue is
full we'll stop processing inputs until the output queue has room again.
To avoid a busy loop on the Unix socket we only add it to the watched input
file descriptor set if we'd be able to call `input` on it. Even though Dom0
is trusted and exempt from quotas a flood of events might cause a backlog
where events are produced faster than daemons in Dom0 can consume them, which
could lead to an unbounded queue size and OOM.
Therefore the xenbus queue limit must apply to all connections, Dom0 is not
exempt from it, although if everything works correctly it will eventually
catch up.
This prevents a malicious guest from sending more commands while it has
outstanding watch events or command replies in its input ring. However if it
can cause the generation of watch events by other means (e.g. by Dom0, or
another cooperative guest) and stop reading its own ring then watch events
would've queued up without limit.
The xenstore protocol doesn't have a back-pressure mechanism, and doesn't
allow dropping watch events. In fact, dropping watch events is known to break
some pieces of normal functionality. This leaves little choice to safely
implement the xenstore protocol without exposing the xenstore daemon to
out-of-memory attacks.
Implement the fix as pipes with bounded buffers:
* Use a bounded buffer for watch events
* The watch structure will have a bounded receiving pipe of watch events
* The source will have an "overflow" pipe of pending watch events it couldn't
deliver
Items are queued up on one end and are sent as far along the pipe as possible:
source domain -> watch -> xenbus of target -> xenstore ring/socket of target
If the pipe is "full" at any point then back-pressure is applied and we prevent
more items from being queued up. For the source domain this means that we'll
stop accepting new commands as long as its pipe buffer is not empty.
Before we try to enqueue an item we first check whether it is possible to send
it further down the pipe, by attempting to recursively flush the pipes. This
ensures that we retain the order of events as much as possible.
We might break causality of watch events if the target domain's queue is full
and we need to start using the watch's queue. This is a breaking change in
the xenstore protocol, but only for domains which are not processing their
incoming ring as expected.
When a watch is deleted its entire pending queue is dropped (no code is needed
for that, because it is part of the 'watch' type).
There is a cache of watches that have pending events that we attempt to flush
at every cycle if possible.
Introduce 3 limits here:
* quota-maxwatchevents on watch event destination: when this is hit the
source will not be allowed to queue up more watch events.
* quota-maxoustanding which is the number of responses not read from the ring:
once exceeded, no more inputs are processed until all outstanding replies
are consumed by the client.
* overflow queue on the watch event source: all watches that cannot be stored
on destination are queued up here, a single command can trigger multiple
watches (e.g. due to recursion).
The overflow queue currently doesn't have an upper bound, it is difficult to
accurately calculate one as it depends on whether you are Dom0 and how many
watches each path has registered and how many watch events you can trigger
with a single command (e.g. a commit). However these events were already
using memory, this just moves them elsewhere, and as long as we correctly
block a domain it shouldn't result in unbounded memory usage.
Note that Dom0 is not excluded from these checks, it is important that Dom0 is
especially not excluded when it is the source, since there are many ways in
which a guest could trigger Dom0 to send it watch events.
This should protect against malicious frontends as long as the backend follows
the PV xenstore protocol and only exposes paths needed by the frontend, and
changes those paths at most once as a reaction to guest events, or protocol
state.
The queue limits are per watch, and per domain-pair, so even if one
communication channel would be "blocked", others would keep working, and the
domain itself won't get blocked as long as it doesn't overflow the queue of
watch events.
Similarly a malicious backend could cause the frontend to get blocked, but
this watch queue protects the frontend as well as long as it follows the PV
protocol. (Although note that protection against malicious backends is only a
best effort at the moment)
