<content type='text'>
The Xen console driver is still vulnerable for an attack via excessive
number of events sent by the backend. Fix that by using a lateeoi event
channel.

For the normal domU initial console this requires the introduction of
bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi() as there is no xenbus device available
at the time the event channel is bound to the irq.

As the decision whether an interrupt was spurious or not requires to
test for bytes having been read from the backend, move sending the
event into the if statement, as sending an event without having found
any bytes to be read is making no sense at all.

This is part of XSA-391

<content type='text'>
There is a TOCTOU issue in set_evtchn_to_irq. Rows in the evtchn_to_irq
mapping are lazily allocated in this function. The check whether the row
is already present and the row initialization is not synchronized. Two
threads can at the same time allocate a new row for evtchn_to_irq and
add the irq mapping to the their newly allocated row. One thread will
overwrite what the other has set for evtchn_to_irq[row] and therefore
the irq mapping is lost. This will trigger a BUG_ON later in
bind_evtchn_to_cpu:

This patch sets evtchn_to_irq rows via a cmpxchg operation so that they
will be set only once. The row is now cleared before writing it to
evtchn_to_irq in order to not create a race once the row is visible for
other threads.

While at it, do not require the page to be zeroed, because it will be
overwritten with -1's in clear_evtchn_to_irq_row anyway.

The variable irq is being initialized with a value that is never
read, it is being updated later on. The assignment is redundant and

<content type='text'>
In order to avoid a race condition for user events when changing
cpu affinity reset the active flag only when EOI-ing the event.

This is working fine as all user events are lateeoi events. Note that
lateeoi_ack_mask_dynirq() is not modified as there is no explicit call
to xen_irq_lateeoi() expected later.

<content type='text'>
When changing the cpu affinity of an event it can happen today that
(with some unlucky timing) the same event will be handled on the old
and the new cpu at the same time.

Avoid that by adding an "event active" flag to the per-event data and
call the handler only if this flag isn't set.

An event channel should be kept masked when an eoi is pending for it.
When being migrated to another cpu it might be unmasked, though.

In order to avoid this keep three different flags for each event channel
to be able to distinguish "normal" masking/unmasking from eoi related
masking/unmasking and temporary masking. The event channel should only
be able to generate an interrupt if all flags are cleared.

<title>xen/events: reset affinity of 2-level event when tearing it down</title>

<content type='text'>
When creating a new event channel with 2-level events the affinity
needs to be reset initially in order to avoid using an old affinity
from earlier usage of the event channel port. So when tearing an event
channel down reset all affinity bits.

The same applies to the affinity when onlining a vcpu: all old
affinity settings for this vcpu must be reset. As percpu events get
initialized before the percpu event channel hook is called,
resetting of the affinities happens after offlining a vcpu (this is
working, as initial percpu memory is zeroed out).

In order to support the possibility of per-device event channel
settings (e.g. lateeoi spurious event thresholds) add a xenbus device
pointer to struct irq_info() and modify the related event channel
binding interfaces to take the pointer to the xenbus device as a
parameter instead of the domain id of the other side.

While at it remove the stale prototype of bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi().
