Xenstore watches received are queued in a list and processed in a
deferred thread. Such queuing was done without any checking, so a
guest could potentially trigger a resource starvation against the
FreeBSD kernel if such kernel is watching any user-controlled xenstore
path.
Allowing limiting the amount of pending events a watch can accumulate
to prevent a remote guest from triggering this resource starvation
issue.
For the PV device backends and frontends this limitation is only
applied to the other end /state node, which is limited to 1 pending
event, the rest of the watched paths can still have unlimited pending
watches because they are either local or controlled by a privileged
domain.
The xenstore user-space device gets special treatment as it's not
possible for the kernel to know whether the paths being watched by
user-space processes are controlled by a guest domain. For this reason
watches set by the xenstore user-space device are limited to 1000
pending events. Note this can be modified using the
max_pending_watch_events sysctl of the device.
This is XSA-349.

The main differences with the currently implemented method are:
- Requires a local APIC EOI, since it doesn't bypass the local APIC
as the previous method used to do.
- Can be set to use different IDT vectors on each vCPU. Note that
FreeBSD doesn't make use of this feature since the event channel
IDT vector is reserved system wide.
Note that the old method of setting the event channel upcall is
not removed, and will be used as a fallback if this newly introduced

Current interface to the gntdev in FreeBSD is wrong, and mostly worked
out of luck before the PTI FreeBSD fixes, when kernel and user-space
where sharing the same page tables.
On FreeBSD ioctls have the size of the passed struct encoded in the
ioctl number, because the generic ioctl handler in the OS takes care
of copying the data from user-space to kernel space, and then calls
the device specific ioctl handler. Thus using ioctl structs with
variable sizes is not possible.
The fix is to turn the array of structs at the end of
ioctl_gntdev_alloc_gref and ioctl_gntdev_map_grant_ref into pointers,
that can be properly accessed from the kernel gntdev driver using the
copyin/copyout functions. Note that this is exactly how it's done for
the privcmd driver.

First of all, when such situation happens there's no need to reset the vector

it's state is preserved. Also, the PV drivers don't need to be reset to the

The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.
Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.
Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.
This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.
Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be

the blkback to which it is connected and the initiation of such large I/Os
by the rest of the kernel. In practice, the I/O size is increased from 40 kB
to 128 kB.
The changes to xen/interface/io/blkif.h consist merely of merging updates
from the upstream Xen repository.
In dev/xen/blkfront/block.h we add some convenience macros and structure
fields used for indirect-page I/Os: The device records its negotiated limit
on the number of indirect pages used, while each I/O command structure gains
permanently allocated page(s) for indirect page references and the Xen grant
references for those pages.
In dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c we now check in xbd_queue_cb whether a request
is small enough to handle without an indirection page, and either follow the
previous behaviour or use new code for issuing an indirect segment I/O. In
xbd_connect we read the size of indirect segment I/Os supported by the backend
and select the maximum size we will use; then allocate the pages and Xen grant
references for each I/O command structure. In xbd_free those grants and pages
are released.
A new loader tunable, hw.xbd.xbd_enable_indirect, can be set to 0 in order to
disable this functionality; it works by pretending that the backend does not
support this feature. Some backends exhibit a loss of performance with large
I/Os, so users may wish to test with and without this functionality enabled.
