This adds support to the hypervisor for the creation of a hardware
domain distinct from domain 0, allowing further disaggregation of the
duties of domain 0. The commit message for patch 1 contains a more
complete description of the distinction between the hardware domain and
control domain(s). Making the hardware domain distinct from domain 0
allows it to be further de-privileged using an XSM policy: the hardware
domain does not need to be permitted access to create or modify other
domains in order to act as a device backend for them.
A domain builder suitable for use as domain 0 in this disaggregated
setup will be posted in a separate mail. This domain builder has two
modes of operation determined at compile time: the initial domain
builder will build a pre-selected set of domains taken from its ramdisk,
and relies on one of the booted domains to continue the boot process and
handle other actions such as Xenstore introductions. The domain builder
service relies on an inter-domain communications mechanism to retrieve
kernels from an image service which currently runs as a process in the
hardware domain. Because this requires additional patches to the
hypervisor, I am planning to post only the initial domain builder at
this time. In the future, when V4V support is present in the hypervisor
and the control and domain builder servers have been modified to use
V4V, the complete version will be posted.
An earlier version of the first patch was Acked by Jan Beulich, but the
rebase for 4.5 added additional changes to the patch.

Instead of checking is_privileged to determine if a domain should
control the hardware, check that the domain_id is equal to zero (which
is currently the only domain for which is_privileged is true). This
allows other places where domain_id is checked for zero to be replaced
with is_hardware_domain.
The distinction between is_hardware_domain, is_control_domain, and
domain 0 is based on the following disaggregation model:
Domain 0 bootstraps the system. It may remain to perform requested
builds of domains that need a minimal trust chain (i.e. vTPM domains).
Other than being built by the hypervisor, nothing is special about this
domain - although it may be useful to have is_control_domain() return
true depending on the toolstack it uses to build other domains.
The hardware domain manages devices for PCI pass-through to driver
domains or can act as a driver domain itself, depending on the desired
degree of disaggregation. It is also the domain managing devices that
do not support pass-through: PCI configuration space access, parsing the
hardware ACPI tables and system power or machine check events. This is
the only domain where is_hardware_domain() is true. The return of
is_control_domain() is false for this domain.
The control domain manages other domains, controls guest launch and
shutdown, and manages resource constraints; is_control_domain() returns
true. The functionality guarded by is_control_domain may in the future
be adapted to use explicit hypercalls, eliminating the special treatment
of this domain. It may be reasonable to have multiple control domains
on a multi-tenant system.
Guest domains and other service or driver domains are all treated
identically by the hypervisor; the security policy may further constrain
administrative actions on or communication between these domains.

When the hardware domain is made distinct from dom0, it becomes possible
to shut down and destroy domain 0 while leaving the hypervisor running.
If this happens, prevent this domain ID from being considered for
allocation to a new guest.

This adds a hypervisor command line option "hardware_dom=" which takes a
domain ID. When the domain with this ID is created, it will be used as
the hardware domain.
This is intended to be used when dom0 is a dedicated stub domain for
domain building, allowing the hardware domain to be de-privileged and
act only as a driver domain.

When dom0 is not the hardware domain, it can be destroyed in the same
way as any other service domain. Since the hypervisor already prevents a
domain from destroying itself, this patch only changes behavior when
used in a disaggregated environment.

When a domain builder stub domain is used, the initial xenstore
connection to domain 0 may use a different domain ID as the endpoint;
allow this domain ID to be specified on the command line.

A domain builder suitable for creating a disaggregated Xen system is
attached. Using this domain builder requires the patch series that
this email is in reply to, and requires that the hypervisor be built
with XSM enabled (with the XSM policy loaded from the bootloader).
The executable passed to Xen from GRUB is called db-boot. It takes a
CPIO archive containing specification files (with extension .cfg.db)
and their dependencies (kernels and initrds). The specification
files are built using compile-db-spec.
Example contents of the ramdisk:
control - control domain kernel (in tarball)
control.cpio - configuration for control domain
control.cfg.db - spec file for control domain
xenstore - mini-os version of the C xenstore
xenstore.cfg.db - spec file for Xenstore
vtpmmgr - mini-os TPM manager
vtpmmgr.cfg.db - spec file for TPM Manager
vmlinuz - Kernel for both Linux domains
initramfs.img - Common initrd for Linux domains
hardware.cfg.db - spec file for hardware domain
toolstack.cfg.db - spec file for toolstack domain

control.cpio:
platform.ctl - compiled with compile-control-schema from svp.schema
svp.schema should be an empty file. Its contents describe additional
domains to build from disk, but this support requires using the domain
builder server which was removed due to its dependency on IVC which is
not available in upstream Xen.

This patch will break compilation on ARM. You are using hardware_dom
which is defined in xen/arch/x86/setup.c.
I'm not sure if the best solution is to move the defined for
hardware_dom in common code ... because settings this variable to a
value other than 0 will break ARM boot with your changes in patch #1.
Supporting hardware domain on ARM will need rework on dom0 builder.

I can't see why the hardware domain (which can't be migrated)
should be prevented from seeing the real CPUID values. It's
less obvious whether a control domain should always see real
values. Hence if you think the latter should be the case (as the
change above shows), I think you should check for both cases
here.

I'd prefer the if/else cases to remain as they are - makes the patch
smaller, and fits better with the (weak) model of using the if branch
for the common case and the else one for the special one (outside
of error handling of course).

Do you really consider profiling a control domain property? This is
even more so questionable without knowing whether you checked
that there are no issues with all of the sudden there perhaps
being more than one domain eligible for becoming the primary
profiler - the oprofile code isn't in that good a shape to be certain
without explicit checking.

Can you quantify the amount of code/data getting moved?
Overall I wonder what the purpose is of allowing the hardware
domain to be created later, rather than keeping Dom0 for this
purpose. After all booting the system is very much hardware
control. Once a control domain was spawned, Dom0 could then
be revoked the right to create further domains.

Apart from the abstract question regarding the purpose of this, a

This, I think, is the point where the variable name becomes
intolerable: ASSERT(!dom0 || !dom0->domain_id) should be
valid at all times as long as the variable name is dom0.

So this gets deleted without replacement? How is the hardware
domain being protected from (accidental or malicious) deletion
then? Even if this is being dealt with in the hypervisor, I'd be
afraid of the failure resulting in a cryptic error message instead
of the very clear one above.

Thanks for this patch. You must be doing something very interesting
to want this :-).
I have a concern though: I wonder what the error behaviour is in the
case where you try to destroy dom0 from itself. Does it get halfway
through, breaking the system, and then fail ?

I had intended this sentence to describe the model, where the return is
always false. However, I agree with the change to avoid confusion that
the two is_*_domain() functions are exclusive.

Agreed, the hardware domain also needs to be checked for here. The
reason the control domain is present is that it needs to see real
CPUID values in order to set CPUID policy for guests based on the
real hardware values.

OK. I prefer to avoid the if (!foo) bar; else baz; construct where
possible, but common case first is a good reason to use it.

I don't directly consider profiling to be a control domain property, but
I also don't consider it a hardware domain property, and it does need to
be restricted in some way. I could make a separate patch changing the
condition to use an XSM hook, only setting xenoprof_primary_profiler if
the domain is allowed the XEN__PRIVPROFILE permission, but this still
could cause multiple domains to be eligible.
From my cursory examination when I made this change, the first domain to
try becoming the primary profiler will succeed and be assigned to
xenoprof_primary_profiler. Later domains will not be considered since the
primary will already be set.
One thing I had not considered that may be a problem: if the profiling
domain is shut down without calling XENOPROF_shutdown, it will not be
possible to use profiling this boot unless the struct domain* is reused.
This may then become a security issue because an arbitrary domain is
now the primary profiler, although the XSM policy should prevent any
actions by a domain not permitted to use the profiling hypercalls.
Using is_hardware_domain here avoids that problem (as the hardware domain
may never shut down or be destroyed), so that may be the simplest
solution until a better model of who is responsible for profiling is
presented.

So don't envision a staged system where the root domain hides
some features from creation-capable ones, and those may hide
further features from their descendants? Up to where even the
controlling domains might become migratable?

Then please do so, with a short note to that effect in either the

Perhaps is_control_domain should be renamed to is_root_control_domain;
it is not necessary for every control domain to have is_control_domain
return true. In fact, the domain builder I posted does not set the
is_privileged field on any guest it creates, and so once it shuts down,
there are no domains that the hypervisor considers control domains. The
XSM policy governs which domains are permitted to create, pause, and do
all the usual "control" operations.
A quick grep actually seems to point out that is_control_domain could
easily be removed, as the only references that remain are these CPUID
fields. This would end up simplifying the disaggregation model a bit.

One reason is to maintain a small trusted computing base for critical
components of the platform, such as the control domains and the vTPM
infrastructure. We would prefer to avoid as much parsing of unmeasured
(and therefore untrusted) data as possible in the early boot process
because any vulnerability in these parsers becomes an attack vector for
components depending on them.
When using TXT/TBOOT as the basis for trust, the Xen hypervisor and
domain 0 are measured and may be considered more trusted than the state
of hardware and any structures supplied by the BIOS that could be
modified by a bootloader or other unmeasured "gap code". When a domain
0 running Linux boots, it parses the ACPI tables and enumerates hardware
based on them prior to executing any user-space code. Exploits using
malicious ACPI tables can be used for privilege escalation (see
CVE-2010-4347 for an example), so if the domain building process were
run from the initrd, all domains on the system would be vulnerable to an
attack using this. ACPI is not the only attack vector here; malicious
hardware is very difficult to defend the hardware domain from once the
IOMMU begins allowing DMA access to the domain's memory.
A possible alternative that does not involve hypervisor modification
would be to have the domain builder use kexec() after building domains
and de-privileging itself. This requires a more complex domain builder,
and makes a number of security assertions more difficult to evaluate
from the security policy. With a separate domain builder and hardware
domain, certain ranges of memory (such as the TPM MMIO pages) can be
restricted from ever being accessible to the hardware domain in the
security policy. Using separate domains also avoids the possibility
that the domain builder neglects to clean up a mapping to a just-created
domain prior to kexec which could be used to later change that domain's
behavior; while a given version of the domain builder may not have such
bugs, new features (such as the ability to change the Xenstore start
info page after event channels are added) can introduce bugs that
silently violate the stated security policy.

It gets partway though, with the most important (bad) action being the
removal of /local/domain/0 from xenstore succeeds. Testing on my
development system to destroy a hardware domain (domid 3) from itself:
# xl destroy 3
libxl: error: libxl.c:1411:libxl__destroy_domid: xc_domain_pause failed for 3
libxl: error: libxl_device.c:894:device_backend_callback: unable to remove device with path /local/domain/8/backend/vtpm/3/0

os-ctl 7 5000 1 -b---- 72923.1
vtpm-hw 8 5 1 -b---- 2.3
(The domain with ID 0 was already destroyed during bootup).
The system still works after this, although I would expect possible
issues to come up if I were to do if{up,down} on a guest or take other
actions that cause Linux to read xenstore keys. If a domain were being
started up during the destroy, it would become broken.
In reply to both this and Jan's earlier email:

The existing check seems to be a useful guard against accidentally
breaking parts of a running system. Would requiring a -f flag on the
destroy operation to work on domain 0 be preferable?

For the moment, I think adding hardware_dom as a #define to 0 for ARM
may be the best solution. Some of the arguments for needing a
separate hardware domain and domain builder are less relevant on an
ARM system (at least based on my limited understanding of how ARM
hardware usually speaks with other devices), and the domain builder
that I posted currently will not compile for ARM.

I/O ports and MMIO are currently set up by the domain builder to
mirror those of dom0 with some exceptions. I could swap all of
the ranges and then de-privilege the newly created domain if that
seems more symmetric (it may also simplify the creation of the
domain builder's specifications); I'll try testing that to ensure
it works as expected.

I will prepare a pure rename patch prior to this one which
renames the dom0 variable (and perhaps some functions with
dom0 in their name) to another name: hwdom or hardware_domain
would be my preference, with the hardware_dom global renamed
to hardware_domid to avoid confusion.

Anyway (and taking into consideration the rest of what you said)
I would lean towards asking for a special construct to accommodate
both your needs and the fact that likely most downstreams would
continue to build without XSM for a while - something along the
lines of Linux'es __init_or_module (i.e. in your case evaluating to
__init/__initdata when !XSM_ENABLE and to nothing in the opposite
case). Of course that's under the assumption that the rooting call
sites can be done reasonably cleanly wrt to making sure .init.*
references don't occur from normal code/data without being
properly guarded (mistakes here are rather difficult to track with
us not having a utility similar to Linux'es modpost checking section
references).
And all that of course only unless others feel the movement out
of .init.* isn't that big a deal to invent special constructs for.

Sounds reasonable.

That would be tolerable if we can't find a better way to tell whether
it's safe or not.
I guess you don't want dom0 to be able to destroy itself - or do you ?
Perhaps the right answer is to require -f for a domain to destroy
itself.

Shouldn't this therefore be cleaned up in domain_relinquish_resources or
some other suitable domain destroy path?

A domain can't destroy itself anyway (the hypervisor prevents this), so
if there was a simple way for xl to check if the domain ID was its own
ID, this would work. I am not aware of a good, simple way to make this
check, so leaving it at preventing dom0's destruction will at least not
regress in usability.

What does XEN_DOMCTL_getdomaininfo do when passed DOMID_SELF ?

It returns -ESRCH. The domain passed in is a lower bound for the domain
ID, and is not resolved using the usual domid resolution function.
One possible method for a domain to determine its own domain ID is to
create an unbound inter-domain event channel to DOMID_SELF and then use
EVTCHNOP_status to read the now-resolved endpoint. This seems rather
cumbersome to implement: the toolstack only exposes this as far as
xc_evtchn_status, so libxl would need modification in addition to xl.
Reading the "domid" key from xenstore is another alternative, but it
also requires adding a function to libxl and needs some fall-back if
the key does not exist.
The constant LIBXL_TOOLSTACK_DOMID is defined inlibxl_internal.h, but
I'm not sure it is best to expose this: I would prefer to eventually
remove the uses of this #define to support toolstack domains with a
dynamic domain ID. For now, that #define is not used in any location
that impedes functionality if it is incorrect (it only makes errors
a bit less user-friendly).

Glrghk.
OK, I'm persuaded that your original proposal, to require -f to
destroy dom0, is the best approach for now at least.
Thanks,
Ian.
