* misc: Replace git:// and http:// with https://Demi Marie Obenour2023-03-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Obtaining code over an insecure transport is a terrible idea for blatently obvious reasons. Even for non-executable data, insecure transports are considered deprecated. This patch enforces the use of secure transports in misc places. All URLs are known to work.

* x86: Build check for embedded endbr64 instructionsMarek Marczykowski-Górecki2022-02-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An interesting corner case occurs when the byte sequence making up endbr64 ends up on a non-instruction boundary. Such embedded instructions mark legal indirect branch targets as far as the CPU is concerned, which aren't legal as far as the logic is concerned. When CET-IBT is active, check for embedded byte sequences. Example failures look like: check-endbr.sh xen-syms Fail: Found 2 embedded endbr64 instructions 0xffff82d040325677: test_endbr64 at /local/xen.git/xen/arch/x86/x86_64/entry.S:28 0xffff82d040352da6: init_done at /local/xen.git/xen/arch/x86/setup.c:675 Signed-off-by: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@invisiblethingslab.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>

* xen: Bump the minimum version of GCC supported to 4.9 for arm32 and 5.1 on arm64Julien Grall2021-03-161-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Compilers older than 4.8 have known codegen issues which can lead to silent miscompilation: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Furthermore, pre-4.9 GCC have known bugs (including things like internal compiler errors on Arm) which would require workaround (I haven't checked if we have any in Xen). The minimum version of GCC to build the hypervisor on arm is now raised to 4.9. In addition to that, on arm64, GCC version >= 4.9 and < 5.1 have been shown to emit memory references beyond the stack pointer, resulting in memory corruption if an interrupt is taken after the stack pointer has been adjusted but before the reference has been executed. Therefore, the minimum for arm64 is raised to 5.1.

* tools/firmware: Build firmware as -ffreestandingAndrew Cooper2021-03-011-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | firmware should always have been -ffreestanding, as it doesn't execute in the host environment. -ffreestanding implies -fno-builtin, so replace the option. inttypes.h isn't a freestanding header, but the 32bitbios_support.c only wants the stdint.h types so switch to the more appropriate include. This removes the build time dependency on a 32bit libc just to compile the hvmloader and friends. Update README and the TravisCI configuration.

* libxenguest: support zstd compressed kernelsJan Beulich2021-01-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This follows the logic used for other decompression methods utilizing an external library, albeit here we can't ignore the 32-bit size field appended to the compressed image - its presence causes decompression to fail. Leverage the field instead to allocate the output buffer in one go, i.e. without incrementally realloc()ing. As far as configure.ac goes, I'm pretty sure there is a better (more "standard") way of using PKG_CHECK_MODULES(). The construct also gets put next to the other decompression library checks, albeit I think they all ought to be x86-specific (e.g. placed in the existing case block a few lines down). Note that, where possible, instead of #ifdef-ing xen/*.h inclusions, they get removed.
