- vga: make sure vga register setup for vbe stays intact
(CVE-2016-3712).
Call vbe_update_vgaregs() when the guest touches GFX, SEQ or CRT
registers, to make sure the vga registers will always have the
values needed by vbe mode. This makes sure the sanity checks
applied by vbe_fixup_regs() are effective.
Without this guests can muck with shift_control, can turn on planar
vga modes or text mode emulation while VBE is active, making qemu
take code paths meant for CGA compatibility, but with the very
large display widths and heigts settable using VBE registers.
Which is good for one or another buffer overflow. Not that
critical as they typically read overflows happening somewhere
in the display code. So guests can DoS by crashing qemu with a
segfault, but it is probably not possible to break out of the VM.

- vga: fix banked access bounds checking (CVE-2016-3710)
vga allows banked access to video memory using the window at 0xa00000
and it supports a different access modes with different address
calculations.
The VBE bochs extentions support banked access too, using the
VBE_DISPI_INDEX_BANK register. The code tries to take the different
address calculations into account and applies different limits to
VBE_DISPI_INDEX_BANK depending on the current access mode.
Which is probably effective in stopping misprogramming by accident.
But from a security point of view completely useless as an attacker
can easily change access modes after setting the bank register.
Drop the bogus check, add range checks to vga_mem_{readb,writeb}
instead.

- x86: limit GFNs to 32 bits for shadowed superpages.
Superpage shadows store the shadowed GFN in the backpointer field,
which for non-BIGMEM builds is 32 bits wide. Shadowing a superpage
mapping of a guest-physical address above 2^44 would lead to the GFN
being truncated there, and a crash when we come to remove the shadow
from the hash table.
Track the valid width of a GFN for each guest, including reporting it
through CPUID, and enforce it in the shadow pagetables. Set the
maximum witth to 32 for guests where this truncation could occur.
This is XSA-173.

- x86/HVM: correct CPUID leaf 80000008 handling
CPUID[80000008].EAX[23:16] have been given the meaning of the guest
physical address restriction (in case it needs to be smaller than the
host's), hence we need to mirror that into vCPUID[80000008].EAX[7:0].
Enforce a lower limit at the same time, as well as a fixed value for
the virtual address bits, and zero for the guest physical address ones.
In order for the vMTRR code to see these overrides we need to make it
call hvm_cpuid() instead of domain_cpuid(), which in turn requires
special casing (and relaxing) the controlling domain.
This additionally should hide an ordering problem in the tools: Both
xend and xl appear to be restoring a guest from its image before
setting up the CPUID policy in the hypervisor, resulting in
domain_cpuid() returning all zeros and hence the check in
mtrr_var_range_msr_set() failing if the guest previously had more than
the minimum 36 physical address bits.

- x86/VMX: sanitize rIP before re-entering guest
... to prevent guest user mode arranging for a guest crash (due to
failed VM entry). (On the AMD system I checked, hardware is doing
exactly the canonicalization being added here.)
Note that fixing this in an architecturally correct way would be quite
a bit more involved: Making the x86 instruction emulator check all
branch targets for validity, plus dealing with invalid rIP resulting
from update_guest_eip() or incoming directly during a VM exit. The only
way to get the latter right would be by not having hardware do the
injection.
Note further that there are a two early returns from
vmx_vmexit_handler(): One (through vmx_failed_vmentry()) leads to
domain_crash() anyway, and the other covers real mode only and can
neither occur with a non-canonical rIP nor result in an altered rIP,
so we don't need to force those paths through the checking logic.
This is XSA-170.

changed the behavior to not call hvm_hw_inject_trap() for #DB and #AC

- x86/vmx: Fix injection of #DB traps following XSA-156
Most #DB exceptions are traps rather than faults, meaning that the instruction
pointer in the exception frame points after the instruction rather than at it.
However, VMX intercepts all have fault semantics, even when intercepting a
trap. Re-injecting an intercepted trap as a fault causes an infinite loop in
the guest, by re-executing the same trapping instruction repeatedly. This
breaks debugging inside the guest.
Introduce a helper which copies VM_EXIT_INTR_INTO to VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO, and
use it to mirror the intercepted interrupt back to the guest.

- x86/HVM: always intercept #AC and #DB
Both being benign exceptions, and both being possible to get triggered
by exception delivery, this is required to prevent a guest from locking
up a CPU (resulting from no other VM exits occurring once getting into
such a loop).
The specific scenarios:
1) #AC may be raised during exception delivery if the handler is set to
be a ring-3 one by a 32-bit guest, and the stack is misaligned.
2) #DB may be raised during exception delivery when a breakpoint got
placed on a data structure involved in delivering the exception. This
can result in an endless loop when a 64-bit guest uses a non-zero IST
for the vector 1 IDT entry, but even without use of IST the time it
takes until a contributory fault would get raised (results depending
on the handler) may be quite long.
This is XSA-156.

- x86: enforce consistent cachability of MMIO mappings
We've been told by Intel that inconsistent cachability between
multiple mappings of the same page can affect system stability only
when the affected page is an MMIO one. Since the stale data issue is
of no relevance to the hypervisor (since all guest memory accesses go
through proper accessors and validation), handling of RAM pages
remains unchanged here. Any MMIO mapped by domains however needs to be
done consistently (all cachable mappings or all uncachable ones), in
order to avoid Machine Check exceptions. Since converting existing
cachable mappings to uncachable (at the time an uncachable mapping
gets established) would in the PV case require tracking all mappings,
allow MMIO to only get mapped uncachable (UC, UC-, or WC).
This also implies that in the PV case we mustn't use the L1 PTE update
fast path when cachability flags get altered.
Since in the HVM case at least for now we want to continue honoring
pinned cachability attributes for pages not mapped by the hypervisor,
special case handling of r/o MMIO pages (forcing UC) gets added there.
Arguably the counterpart change to p2m-pt.c may not be necessary, since
UC- (which already gets enforced there) is probably strict enough.
Note that the shadow code changes include fixing the write protection
of r/o MMIO ranges: shadow_l1e_remove_flags() and its siblings, other
than l1e_remove_flags() and alike, return the new PTE (and hence
ignoring their return values makes them no-ops).
This is CVE-2016-2270 / XSA-154.

[4.1.3-25.el5.220]
- x86/HVM: avoid reading ioreq state more than once
Otherwise, especially when the compiler chooses to translate the
switch() to a jump table, unpredictable behavior (and in the jump table
case arbitrary code execution) can result.
This is XSA-166.

- MSI-X: avoid array overrun upon MSI-X table writes
pt_msix_init() allocates msix->msix_entry[] to just cover
msix->total_entries entries. While pci_msix_readl() resorts to reading
physical memory for out of bounds reads, pci_msix_writel() so far
simply accessed/corrupted unrelated memory.
pt_iomem_map()'s call to cpu_register_physical_memory() registers a
page granular region, which is necessary as the Pending Bit Array may
share space with the MSI-X table (but nothing else is allowed to). This
also explains why pci_msix_readl() actually honors out of bounds reads,
but pci_msi_writel() doesn't need to.
This is XSA-164.

[4.1.3-25.el5.218]
- VT-d: fix TLB flushing in dma_pte_clear_one()
From: Jan Beulich
The TLB flush code was wrong since xen-4.1.3-25.el5.127.20 (commit:
vtd-Refactor-iotlb-flush-code.patch), both ovm-3.2.9 and ovm-3.2.10 were
affected.
The third parameter of __intel_iommu_iotlb_flush() is to indicate
whether the to be flushed entry was a present one. A few lines before,
we bailed if !dma_pte_present(*pte), so there's no need to check the
flag here again - we can simply always pass TRUE here.
This is CVE-2013-6375 / XSA-78.

- x86/VMX: prevent INVVPID failure due to non-canonical guest address
While INVLPG (and on SVM INVLPGA) don't fault on non-canonical
addresses, INVVPID fails (in the 'individual address' case) when passed
such an address.
Since such intercepted INVLPG are effectively no-ops anyway, don't fix
this in vmx_invlpg_intercept(), but instead have paging_invlpg() never
return true in such a case.
This is XSA-168.

[4.1.3-25.el5.215]
- xend/image: Don't throw VMException when using backend domains for disks.
If we are using backend domains the disk image may not be
accessible within the host (domain0). As such it is OK to
continue on.
The 'addStoreEntries' in DevController.py already does the check
to make sure that when the 'backend' configuration is used - that
said domain exists.
As such the only change we need to do is to exclude the disk
image location if the domain is not dom0.

- memory: fix XENMEM_exchange error handling
assign_pages() can fail due to the domain getting killed in parallel,
which should not result in a hypervisor crash.
Also delete a redundant put_gfn() - all relevant paths leading to the
'fail' label already do this (and there are also paths where it was
plain wrong). All of the put_gfn()-s got introduced by 51032ca058
('Modify naming of queries into the p2m'), including the otherwise
unneeded initializer for k (with even a kind of misleading comment -
the compiler warning could actually have served as a hint that the use
is wrong).
This is XSA-159.

- x86: rate-limit logging in do_xen{oprof,pmu}_op()
Some of the sub-ops are acessible to all guests, and hence should be
rate-limited. In the xenoprof case, just like for XSA-146, include them
only in debug builds. Since the vPMU code is rather new, allow them to
be always present, but downgrade them to (rate limited) guest messages.
This is XSA-152.
