[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools/libxl: Reposition build_pre() logic between architectures
Posted by Andrew Cooper 4 years, 3 months ago
The call to xc_domain_disable_migrate() is made only from x86, while its
handling in Xen is common.  Move it to the libxl__build_pre().

hvm_set_conf_params(), hvm_set_viridian_features(),
hvm_set_mca_capabilities(), and the altp2m logic is all in common
code (parts ifdef'd) but despite this, is all actually x86 specific.

Move it into x86 specific code, and fold all of the xc_hvm_param_set() calls
together into hvm_set_conf_params() in a far more coherent way.

Finally - ensure that all hypercalls have their return values checked.

No practical change in constructed domains.  Fewer useless hypercalls now to
construct an ARM guest.

I'll defer to the tool stack maintainers here. Imo this file would
better be split - one to contain stuff better falling under x86
maintainership, and the other for everything falling in the tool
stack realm.

(Assuming you're talking about libxl_x86.c)

That works for me.

It is unclear to me how clean that split can be though...

I'm fine with moving the code. AIUI Arm guests also need to set at least
one hvm param for callback vector, but that's already handled in
libxl_arm.c.

As far as I can tell the code is correct, there is no code in between
the moved code that depends on some of the fields being set in a
specific order, so:

While altp2m is only supported on x86, the concept is not x86-specific. 
I am actually aware of people using altp2m on Arm, althought the support 
is not upstream yet.

I think it would be best to keep anything that we know can be used on 
arm (or new architecture) in common code. I am thinking about 
"nestedhvm" and "altp2m".

Neither of those options are going to survive in this form.

Also, the checks can't stay in common code.  Currently, Xen doesn't
reject bad parameters, and the toolstack doesn't check return values. 
Frankly, neither of these bugs should ever have got through code review,
seeing as we were doing rather better code review by the time the ARM
port came about.

I've fixed the libxl code to check return values, but when the
hypervisor has its
"not-quite-an-XSA-because-the-guest-induced-damage-is-in-unsupported-subsystems"
bugs fixed, these hypercalls will start failing.

Oh, it wasn't clear from the commit message. Would you mind to add a 
sentence in the commit message about it?

The HVM_PARAM is not great on Arm :(. It would be nice to get this fixed 
properly.

Well - they aren't going to survive long-term in this form.  Both need
to become domain_create parameters.

Whether or not they actually get changed before someone tries
upstreaming the ARM Altp2m work is a different matter, if that affects
your answer.

I looked back at my patch series doing just this, and despite being a
year old, I'm still sufficiently irritated at the nitpicking and
inability to read/interpret CODING_STYLE that I don't feel like wasting
any more of my time right now.

I am happy with "They should not survive". If the altp2m work is 
upstreamed first then we can have the discussion whether we should carry 
"legacy" interface if this wasn't reworked beforehand.

Sorry to hear that. I have put the work in my tracking list for Arm.
