commit 87797fad6cce28ec9be3c13f031776ff4f104cfc upstream.

In unprivileged Xen guests event handling can cause a deadlock with
Xen console handling. The evtchn_rwlock and the hvc_lock are taken in
opposite sequence in __hvc_poll() and in Xen console IRQ handling.
Normally this is no problem, as the evtchn_rwlock is taken as a reader
in both paths, but as soon as an event channel is being closed, the
lock will be taken as a writer, which will cause read_lock() to block:

CPU0                     CPU1                CPU2
(IRQ handling)           (__hvc_poll())      (closing event channel)

read_lock(evtchn_rwlock)
                         spin_lock(hvc_lock)
                                             write_lock(evtchn_rwlock)
                                                 [blocks]
spin_lock(hvc_lock)
    [blocks]
                        read_lock(evtchn_rwlock)
                            [blocks due to writer waiting,
                             and not in_interrupt()]

This issue can be avoided by replacing evtchn_rwlock with RCU in
xen_free_irq(). Note that RCU is used only to delay freeing of the
irq_info memory. There is no RCU based dereferencing or replacement of
pointers involved.

In order to avoid potential races between removing the irq_info
reference and handling of interrupts, set the irq_info pointer to NULL
only when freeing its memory. The IRQ itself must be freed at that
time, too, as otherwise the same IRQ number could be allocated again
before handling of the old instance would have been finished.

This is XSA-441 / CVE-2023-34324.

commit 8fafac202d18230bb9926bda48e563fd2cce2a4f upstream.

In the pvcalls_new_active_socket() function, most error paths call
pvcalls_back_release_active(fedata-&gt;dev, fedata, map) which calls
sock_release() on "sock".  The bug is that the caller also frees sock.

Fix this by making every error path in pvcalls_new_active_socket()
release the sock, and don't free it in the caller.

<title>xen/gntdev: Prevent leaking grants</title>

commit 0991028cd49567d7016d1b224fe0117c35059f86 upstream.

Prior to this commit, if a grant mapping operation failed partially,
some of the entries in the map_ops array would be invalid, whereas all
of the entries in the kmap_ops array would be valid. This in turn would
cause the following logic in gntdev_map_grant_pages to become invalid:

  for (i = 0; i &lt; map-&gt;count; i++) {
    if (map-&gt;map_ops[i].status == GNTST_okay) {
      map-&gt;unmap_ops[i].handle = map-&gt;map_ops[i].handle;
      if (!use_ptemod)
        alloced++;
    }
    if (use_ptemod) {
      if (map-&gt;kmap_ops[i].status == GNTST_okay) {
        if (map-&gt;map_ops[i].status == GNTST_okay)
          alloced++;
        map-&gt;kunmap_ops[i].handle = map-&gt;kmap_ops[i].handle;
      }
    }
  }
  ...
  atomic_add(alloced, &amp;map-&gt;live_grants);

Assume that use_ptemod is true (i.e., the domain mapping the granted
pages is a paravirtualized domain). In the code excerpt above, note that
the "alloced" variable is only incremented when both kmap_ops[i].status
and map_ops[i].status are set to GNTST_okay (i.e., both mapping
operations are successful).  However, as also noted above, there are
cases where a grant mapping operation fails partially, breaking the
assumption of the code excerpt above.

The aforementioned causes map-&gt;live_grants to be incorrectly set. In
some cases, all of the map_ops mappings fail, but all of the kmap_ops
mappings succeed, meaning that live_grants may remain zero. This in turn
makes it impossible to unmap the successfully grant-mapped pages pointed
to by kmap_ops, because unmap_grant_pages has the following snippet of
code at its beginning:

  if (atomic_read(&amp;map-&gt;live_grants) == 0)
    return; /* Nothing to do */

In other cases where only some of the map_ops mappings fail but all
kmap_ops mappings succeed, live_grants is made positive, but when the
user requests unmapping the grant-mapped pages, __unmap_grant_pages_done
will then make map-&gt;live_grants negative, because the latter function
does not check if all of the pages that were requested to be unmapped
were actually unmapped, and the same function unconditionally subtracts
"data-&gt;count" (i.e., a value that can be greater than map-&gt;live_grants)
from map-&gt;live_grants. The side effects of a negative live_grants value
have not been studied.

The net effect of all of this is that grant references are leaked in one
of the above conditions. In Qubes OS v4.1 (which uses Xen's grant
mechanism extensively for X11 GUI isolation), this issue manifests
itself with warning messages like the following to be printed out by the
Linux kernel in the VM that had granted pages (that contain X11 GUI
window data) to dom0: "g.e. 0x1234 still pending", especially after the
user rapidly resizes GUI VM windows (causing some grant-mapping
operations to partially or completely fail, due to the fact that the VM
unshares some of the pages as part of the window resizing, making the
pages impossible to grant-map from dom0).

The fix for this issue involves counting all successful map_ops and
kmap_ops mappings separately, and then adding the sum to live_grants.
During unmapping, only the number of successfully unmapped grants is
subtracted from live_grants. The code is also modified to check for
negative live_grants values after the subtraction and warn the user.

While working on XSA-361 and its follow-ups, I failed to spot another
place where the kernel mapping part of an operation was not treated the
same as the user space part. Detect and propagate errors and add a 2nd
pr_debug().

commit f28347cc66395e96712f5c2db0a302ee75bafce6 upstream.

While working on XSA-361 and its follow-ups, I failed to spot another
place where the kernel mapping part of an operation was not treated the
same as the user space part. Detect and propagate errors and add a 2nd
pr_debug().

<title>xen/xenbus: fix return type in xenbus_file_read()</title>

commit 32ad11127b95236dfc52375f3707853194a7f4b4 upstream.

This code tries to store -EFAULT in an unsigned int.  The
xenbus_file_read() function returns type ssize_t so the negative value
is returned as a positive value to the user.

This change forces another change to the min() macro.  Originally, the
min() macro used "unsigned" type which checkpatch complains about.  Also
unsigned type would break if "len" were not capped at MAX_RW_COUNT.  Use
size_t for the min().  (No effect on runtime for the min_t() change).

<title>xen/gntdev: Ignore failure to unmap INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE</title>

commit 166d3863231667c4f64dee72b77d1102cdfad11f upstream.

The error paths of gntdev_mmap() can call unmap_grant_pages() even
though not all of the pages have been successfully mapped.  This will
trigger the WARN_ON()s in __unmap_grant_pages_done().  The number of
warnings can be very large; I have observed thousands of lines of
warnings in the systemd journal.

Avoid this problem by only warning on unmapping failure if the handle
being unmapped is not INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE.  The handle field of any
page that was not successfully mapped will be INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE, so
this catches all cases where unmapping can legitimately fail.

commit dbe97cff7dd9f0f75c524afdd55ad46be3d15295 upstream.

unmap_grant_pages() currently waits for the pages to no longer be used.
In https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/7481, this lead to a
deadlock against i915: i915 was waiting for gntdev's MMU notifier to
finish, while gntdev was waiting for i915 to free its pages.  I also
believe this is responsible for various deadlocks I have experienced in
the past.

Avoid these problems by making unmap_grant_pages async.  This requires
making it return void, as any errors will not be available when the
function returns.  Fortunately, the only use of the return value is a
WARN_ON(), which can be replaced by a WARN_ON when the error is
detected.  Additionally, a failed call will not prevent further calls
from being made, but this is harmless.

Because unmap_grant_pages is now async, the grant handle will be sent to
INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE too late to prevent multiple unmaps of the same
handle.  Instead, a separate bool array is allocated for this purpose.
This wastes memory, but stuffing this information in padding bytes is
too fragile.  Furthermore, it is necessary to grab a reference to the
map before making the asynchronous call, and release the reference when
the call returns.

It is also necessary to guard against reentrancy in gntdev_map_put(),
and to handle the case where userspace tries to map a mapping whose
contents have not all been freed yet.

<title>xen: unexport __init-annotated xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages()</title>

commit dbac14a5a05ff8e1ce7c0da0e1f520ce39ec62ea upstream.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.

modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.

Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this
showed up in linux-next builds.

There are two ways to fix it:

  - Remove __init
  - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL

I chose the latter for this case because none of the in-tree call-sites
(arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c, arch/x86/xen/grant-table.c) is compiled as
modular.
