This is a backport of my series to try to fix libelf and the domain
loader.  It corresponds to v6 of the xen-unstable series.

This is available via git:
  http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/iwj/xen-unstable.git;a=summary
  git://xenbits.xen.org/people/iwj/xen-unstable.git
in the commits
  xsa55-4.2-base-rebasing..xsa55-4.2-rebasing

Here is a summary of the state of series:

a  01/21 libelf: abolish libelf-relocate.c
   02/21 libxc: introduce xc_dom_seg_to_ptr_pages
   03/21 libxc: Fix range checking in xc_dom_pfn_to_ptr etc.
A  04/21 libelf: add `struct elf_binary*' parameter to elf_load_image
a  05/21 libelf: abolish elf_sval and elf_access_signed
A  06/21 libelf: move include of <asm/guest_access.h> to top of file
a  07/21 libelf/xc_dom_load_elf_symtab: Do not use "syms" uninitialised
   08/21 libxl: introduce macros for memory access and pointer handling
a  09/21 tools/xcutils/readnotes: adjust print_l1_mfn_valid_note
A  10/21 libelf: check nul-terminated strings properly
   11/21 libxl: check all pointer accesses
A  12/21 libxl: Check pointer references in elf_is_elfbinary
a# 13/21 libelf: Make all callers call elf_check_broken
a  14/21 libelf: use C99 bool for booleans
   15/21 libelf: use only unsigned integers
   16/21 libelf: check loops for running away
a  17/21 libelf: abolish obsolete macros
   18/21 libxc: Add range checking to xc_dom_binloader
 # 19/21 libxc: check failure of xc_dom_*_to_ptr, xc_map_foreign_range
 # 20/21 libxc: check return values from malloc
 # 21/21 libxc: range checks in xc_dom_p2m_host and _guest
   22/22 libxc: check blob size before proceeding in xc_dom_check_gzip

Key to symbols:
 a   Acked/reviwed by one reviewer.           } Refers to acks of
 A   Acked/reviwed by more than one reviewer. }  -unstable series.
 #   Nontrivial differences between series for -unstable and 4.2.

Please refer to the v6 00/22 -unstable message for more information.

This file is not actually used.  It's not built in Xen's instance of
libelf; in libxc's it's built but nothing in it is called.  Do not
compile it in libxc, and delete it.

This reduces the amount of work we need to do in forthcoming patches
to libelf (particularly since as libelf-relocate.c is not used it is
probably full of bugs).

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

Provide a version of xc_dom_seg_to_ptr which returns the number of
guest pages it has actually mapped.  This is useful for callers who
want to do range checking; we will use this later in this series.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

* Ensure that xc_dom_pfn_to_ptr (when called with count==0) does not
  return a previously-allocated block which is entirely before the
  requested pfn (!)

* Provide a version of xc_dom_pfn_to_ptr, xc_dom_pfn_to_ptr_retcount,
  which provides the length of the mapped region via an out parameter.

* Change xc_dom_vaddr_to_ptr to always provide the length of the
  mapped region and change the call site in xc_dom_binloader.c to
  check it.  The call site in xc_dom_load_elf_symtab will be corrected
  in a forthcoming patch, and for now ignores the returned length.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

The meat of this function is going to need a copy of the elf pointer,
in forthcoming patches.

No functional change in this patch.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

libelf-loader.c #includes <asm/guest_access.h>, when being compiled
for Xen.  Currently it does this in the middle of the file.

Move this #include to the top of the file, before libelf-private.h.
This is necessary because in forthcoming patches we will introduce
private #defines of memcpy etc. which would interfere with definitions
in headers #included from guest_access.h.

No semantic or functional change in this patch.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

xc_dom_load_elf_symtab (with load==0) calls elf_round_up, but it
mistakenly used the uninitialised variable "syms" when calculating
dom->bsd_symtab_start.  This should be a reference to "elf".

This change might have the effect of rounding the value differently.
Previously if the uninitialised value (a single byte on the stack) was
ELFCLASS64 (ie, 2), the alignment would be to 8 bytes, otherwise to 4.

However, the value is calculated from dom->kernel_seg.vend so this
could only make a difference if that value wasn't already aligned to 8
bytes.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

We introduce a collection of macros which abstract away all the
pointer arithmetic and dereferences used for accessing the input ELF
and the output area(s).  We use the new macros everywhere.

For now, these macros are semantically identical to the code they
replace, so this patch has no functional change.

elf_is_elfbinary is an exception: since it doesn't take an elf*, we
need to handle it differently.  In a future patch we will change it to
take, and check, a length parameter.  For now we just mark it with a
fixme.

That this patch has no functional change can be verified as follows:

  0. Copy the scripts "comparison-generate" and "function-filter"
     out of this commit message.
  1. Check out the tree before this patch.
  2. Run the script ../comparison-generate .... ../before
  3. Check out the tree after this patch.
  4. Run the script ../comparison-generate .... ../after
  5. diff --exclude=\*.[soi] -ruN before/ after/ |less

Expect these differences:
  * stubdom/zlib-x86_64/ztest*.s2
      The filename of this test file apparently contains the pid.
  * xen/common/version.s2
      The xen build timestamp appears in two diff hunks.

Verification that this is all that's needed:
  In a completely built xen.git,
     find * -name .*.d -type f | xargs grep -l libelf\.h
  Expect results in:
     xen/arch/x86:            Checked above.
     tools/libxc:             Checked above.
     tools/xcutils/readnotes: Checked above.
     tools/xenstore:          Checked above.
     xen/common/libelf:
       This is the build for the hypervisor; checked in B above.
     stubdom:
       We have one stubdom which reads ELFs using our libelf,
       pvgrub, which is checked above.

I have not done this verification for ARM.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

Use the new PTRVAL macros and elf_access_unsigned in
print_l1_mfn_valid_note.

No functional change unless the input is wrong, or we are reading a
file for a different endianness.

Separated out from the previous patch because this change does produce
a difference in the generated code.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

It is not safe to simply take pointers into the ELF and use them as C
pointers.  They might not be properly nul-terminated (and the pointers
might be wild).

So we are going to introduce a new function elf_strval for safely
getting strings.  This will check that the addresses are in range and
that there is a proper nul-terminated string.  Of course it might
discover that there isn't.  In that case, it will be made to fail.
This means that elf_note_name might fail, too.

For the benefit of call sites which are just going to pass the value
to a printf-like function, we provide elf_strfmt which returns
"(invalid)" on failure rather than NULL.

In this patch we introduce dummy definitions of these functions.  We
introduce calls to elf_strval and elf_strfmt everywhere, and update
all the call sites with appropriate error checking.

There is not yet any semantic change, since before this patch all the
places where we introduce elf_strval dereferenced the value anyway, so
it mustn't have been NULL.

In future patches, when elf_strval is made able return NULL, when it
does so it will mark the elf "broken" so that an appropriate
diagnostic can be printed.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

We change the ELF_PTRVAL and ELF_HANDLE types and associated macros:

 * PTRVAL becomes a uintptr_t, for which we provide a typedef
   elf_ptrval.  This means no arithmetic done on it can overflow so
   the compiler cannot do any malicious invalid pointer arithmetic
   "optimisations".  It also means that any places where we
   dereference one of these pointers without using the appropriate
   macros or functions become a compilation error.

   So we can be sure that we won't miss any memory accesses.

   All the PTRVAL variables were previously void* or char*, so
   the actual address calculations are unchanged.

 * ELF_HANDLE becomes a union, one half of which keeps the pointer
   value and the other half of which is just there to record the
   type.

   The new type is not a pointer type so there can be no address
   calculations on it whose meaning would change.  Every assignment or
   access has to go through one of our macros.

 * The distinction between const and non-const pointers and char*s
   and void*s in libelf goes away.  This was not important (and
   anyway libelf tended to cast away const in various places).

 * The fields elf->image and elf->dest are renamed.  That proves
   that we haven't missed any unchecked uses of these actual
   pointer values.

 * The caller may fill in elf->caller_xdest_base and _size to
   specify another range of memory which is safe for libelf to
   access, besides the input and output images.

 * When accesses fail due to being out of range, we mark the elf
   "broken".  This will be checked and used for diagnostics in
   a following patch.

   We do not check for write accesses to the input image.  This is
   because libelf actually does this in a number of places.  So we
   simply permit that.

 * Each caller of libelf which used to set dest now sets
   dest_base and dest_size.

 * In xc_dom_load_elf_symtab we provide a new actual-pointer
   value hdr_ptr which we get from mapping the guest's kernel
   area and use (checking carefully) as the caller_xdest area.

 * The STAR(h) macro in libelf-dominfo.c now uses elf_access_unsigned.

 * elf-init uses the new elf_uval_3264 accessor to access the 32-bit
   fields, rather than an unchecked field access (ie, unchecked
   pointer access).

 * elf_uval has been reworked to use elf_uval_3264.  Both of these
   macros are essentially new in this patch (although they are derived
   from the old elf_uval) and need careful review.

 * ELF_ADVANCE_DEST is now safe in the sense that you can use it to
   chop parts off the front of the dest area but if you chop more than
   is available, the dest area is simply set to be empty, preventing
   future accesses.

 * We introduce some #defines for memcpy, memset, memmove and strcpy:
    - We provide elf_memcpy_safe and elf_memset_safe which take
      PTRVALs and do checking on the supplied pointers.
    - Users inside libelf must all be changed to either
      elf_mem*_unchecked (which are just like mem*), or
      elf_mem*_safe (which take PTRVALs) and are checked.  Any
      unchanged call sites become compilation errors.

 * We do _not_ at this time fix elf_access_unsigned so that it doesn't
   make unaligned accesses.  We hope that unaligned accesses are OK on
   every supported architecture.  But it does check the supplied
   pointer for validity.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

elf_is_elfbinary didn't take a length parameter and could potentially
access out of range when provided with a very short image.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

This arranges that if the new pointer reference error checking
tripped, we actually get a message about it.  In this patch these
messages do not change the actual return values from the various
functions: so pointer reference errors do not prevent loading.  This
is for fear that some existing kernels might cause the code to make
these wild references, which would then break, which is not a good
thing in a security patch.

In xen/arch/x86/domain_build.c we have to introduce an "out" label and
change all of the "return rc" beyond the relevant point into "goto
out".

Difference in the 4.2 series, compared to unstable:

* tools/libxc/xc_hvm_build_x86.c:setup_guest and
  xen/arch/arm/kernel.c:kernel_try_elf_prepare have different
  error handling in 4.2 to unstable; patch adjusted accordingly.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

From: Ian Jackson @ 2013-06-07 18:35 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

We want to remove uses of "int" because signed integers have
undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow.  Malicious compilers can
turn apparently-correct code into code with security vulnerabilities
etc.

In this patch we change all the booleans in libelf to C99 bool,
from <stdbool.h>.

For the one visible libelf boolean in libxc's public interface we
retain the use of int to avoid changing the ABI; libxc converts it to
a bool for consumption by libelf.

It is OK to change all values only ever used as booleans to _Bool
(bool) because conversion from any scalar type to a _Bool works the
same as the boolean test in if() or ?: and is always defined (C99
6.3.1.2).  But we do need to check that all these variables really are
only ever used that way.  (It is theoretically possible that the old
code truncated some 64-bit values to 32-bit ints which might become
zero depending on the value, which would mean a behavioural change in
this patch, but it seems implausible that treating 0x????????00000000
as false could have been intended.)

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

From: Ian Jackson @ 2013-06-07 18:35 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow.
Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with
security vulnerabilities etc.

So use only unsigned integers.  Exceptions are booleans (which we have
already changed) and error codes.

We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own
text segment, but not the char*s.  This is because it is safe to
access an arbitrary byte through a char*, but not necessarily safe to
convert an arbitrary value to a char.

As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign.

It is OK to change all the signed integers to unsigned because all the
inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect"
negative numbers.

In libelf-dominfo.c:elf_xen_parse we rename a variable "rc" to
"more_notes" as it actually contains a note count derived from the
input image.  The "error" return value from elf_xen_parse_notes is
changed from -1 to ~0U.

grepping shows only one occurrence of "PRId" or "%d" or "%ld" in
libelf and xc_dom_elfloader.c (a "%d" which becomes "%u").

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

For those concerned about unintentional functional changes, the
following rune produces a version of the patch which is much smaller
and eliminates only non-functional changes:

 GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=.../unsigned-differ git-diff <before>..<after>

where <before> and <after> are git refs for the code before and after
this patch, and unsigned-differ is this shell script:

    #!/bin/bash
    set -e

    seddery () {
            perl -pe 's/\b(?:elf_errorstatus|elf_negerrnoval)\b/int/g'
    }

    path="$1"
    in="$2"
    out="$5"

    set +e
    diff -pu --label "$path~" <(seddery <"$in") --label "$path" <(seddery <"$out")
    rc=$?
    set -e
    if [ $rc = 1 ]; then rc=0; fi
    exit $rc

  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

Ensure that libelf does not have any loops which can run away
indefinitely even if the input is bogus.  (Grepped for \bfor, \bwhile
and \bgoto in libelf and xc_dom_*loader*.c.)

Changes needed:
 * elf_note_next uses the note's unchecked alleged length, which might
   wrap round.  If it does, return ELF_MAX_PTRVAL (0xfff..fff) instead,
   which will be beyond the end of the section and so terminate the
   caller's loop.  Also check that the returned psuedopointer is sane.
 * In various loops over section and program headers, check that the
   calculated header pointer is still within the image, and quit the
   loop if it isn't.
 * Some fixed limits to avoid potentially O(image_size^2) loops:
    - maximum length of strings: 4K (longer ones ignored totally)
    - maximum total number of ELF notes: 65536 (any more are ignored)
 * Check that the total program contents (text, data) we copy or
   initialise doesn't exceed twice the output image area size.
 * Remove an entirely useless loop from elf_xen_parse (!)
 * Replace a nested search loop in in xc_dom_load_elf_symtab in
   xc_dom_elfloader.c by a precomputation of a bitmap of referenced
   symtabs.

We have not changed loops which might, in principle, iterate over the
whole image - even if they might do so one byte at a time with a
nontrivial access check function in the middle.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

From: Ian Jackson @ 2013-06-07 18:35 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

Abolish ELF_PTRVAL_[CONST_]{CHAR,VOID}; change uses to elf_ptrval.
Abolish ELF_HANDLE_DECL_NONCONST; change uses to ELF_HANDLE_DECL.
Abolish ELF_OBSOLETE_VOIDP_CAST; simply remove all uses.

No functional change.  (Verified by diffing assembler output.)

Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>
Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>

v2: New patch.

This is a simple binary image loader with its own metadata format.
However, it is too careless with image-supplied values.

Add the following checks:

 * That the image is bigger than the metadata table; otherwise the
   pointer arithmetic to calculate the metadata table location may
   yield undefined and dangerous values.

 * When clamping the end of the region to search, that we do not
   calculate pointers beyond the end of the image.  The C
   specification does not permit this and compilers are becoming ever
   more determined to miscompile code when they can "prove" various
   falsehoods based on assertions from the C spec.

 * That the supplied image is big enough for the text we are allegedly
   copying from it.  Otherwise we might have a read overrun and copy
   the results (perhaps a lot of secret data) into the guest.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

The return values from xc_dom_*_to_ptr and xc_map_foreign_range are
sometimes dereferenced, or subjected to pointer arithmetic, without
checking whether the relevant function failed and returned NULL.

Add an appropriate error check at every call site.

Changes in the 4.2 backport of this series:
* Fix tools/libxc/xc_dom_x86.c:setup_pgtables_x86_32.
* Fix tools/libxc/xc_dom_ia64.c:start_info_ia64.
* Fix tools/libxc/ia64/xc_ia64_dom_fwloader.c:xc_dom_load_fw_kernel.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

From: Ian Jackson @ 2013-06-07 18:35 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

A sufficiently malformed input to libxc (such as a malformed input ELF
or other guest-controlled data) might cause one of libxc's malloc() to
fail.  In this case we need to make sure we don't dereference or do
pointer arithmetic on the result.

Search for all occurrences of \b(m|c|re)alloc in libxc, and all
functions which call them, and add appropriate error checking where
missing.

This includes the functions xc_dom_malloc*, which now print a message
when they fail so that callers don't have to do so.

The function xc_cpuid_to_str wasn't provided with a sane return value
and has a pretty strange API, which now becomes a little stranger.
There are no in-tree callers.

Changes in the Xen 4.2 version of this series:
* No need to fix code relating to ARM.
* No need to fix code relating to superpage support.
* Additionally fix `dom->p2m_host = xc_dom_malloc...' in xc_dom_ia64.c.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

These functions take guest pfns and look them up in the p2m.  They did
no range checking.

However, some callers, notably xc_dom_boot.c:setup_hypercall_page want
to pass untrusted guest-supplied value(s).  It is most convenient to
detect this here and return INVALID_MFN.

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

Changes from Xen 4.2 version of this patch:
* 4.2 lacks dom->rambase_pfn, so don't add/subtract/check it.

* [PATCH 15/22] libelf: use only unsigned integers
  2013-06-11 18:22 [PATCH v7 00/22] XSA55 libelf fixes for Xen 4.2 Ian Jackson
@ 2013-06-11 18:22 ` Ian Jackson
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 29+ messages in thread
From: Ian Jackson @ 2013-06-11 18:22 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow.
Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with
security vulnerabilities etc.

So use only unsigned integers.  Exceptions are booleans (which we have
already changed) and error codes.

We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own
text segment, but not the char*s.  This is because it is safe to
access an arbitrary byte through a char*, but not necessarily safe to
convert an arbitrary value to a char.

As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign.

It is OK to change all the signed integers to unsigned because all the
inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect"
negative numbers.

In libelf-dominfo.c:elf_xen_parse we rename a variable "rc" to
"more_notes" as it actually contains a note count derived from the
input image.  The "error" return value from elf_xen_parse_notes is
changed from -1 to ~0U.

grepping shows only one occurrence of "PRId" or "%d" or "%ld" in
libelf and xc_dom_elfloader.c (a "%d" which becomes "%u").

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

For those concerned about unintentional functional changes, the
following rune produces a version of the patch which is much smaller
and eliminates only non-functional changes:

 GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=.../unsigned-differ git-diff <before>..<after>

where <before> and <after> are git refs for the code before and after
this patch, and unsigned-differ is this shell script:

    #!/bin/bash
    set -e

    seddery () {
            perl -pe 's/\b(?:elf_errorstatus|elf_negerrnoval)\b/int/g'
    }

    path="$1"
    in="$2"
    out="$5"

    set +e
    diff -pu --label "$path~" <(seddery <"$in") --label "$path" <(seddery <"$out")
    rc=$?
    set -e
    if [ $rc = 1 ]; then rc=0; fi
    exit $rc

* [PATCH 15/22] libelf: use only unsigned integers
  2013-06-11 18:20 [PATCH v7 00/22] XSA55 libelf fixes for unstable Ian Jackson
@ 2013-06-11 18:20 ` Ian Jackson
  2013-06-11 19:22   ` Andrew Cooper

From: Ian Jackson @ 2013-06-11 18:20 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow.
Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with
security vulnerabilities etc.

So use only unsigned integers.  Exceptions are booleans (which we have
already changed) and error codes.

We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own
text segment, but not the char*s.  This is because it is safe to
access an arbitrary byte through a char*, but not necessarily safe to
convert an arbitrary value to a char.

As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign.

It is OK to change all the signed integers to unsigned because all the
inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect"
negative numbers.

In libelf-dominfo.c:elf_xen_parse we rename a variable "rc" to
"more_notes" as it actually contains a note count derived from the
input image.  The "error" return value from elf_xen_parse_notes is
changed from -1 to ~0U.

grepping shows only one occurrence of "PRId" or "%d" or "%ld" in
libelf and xc_dom_elfloader.c (a "%d" which becomes "%u").

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

For those concerned about unintentional functional changes, the
following rune produces a version of the patch which is much smaller
and eliminates only non-functional changes:

 GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=.../unsigned-differ git-diff <before>..<after>

where <before> and <after> are git refs for the code before and after
this patch, and unsigned-differ is this shell script:

    #!/bin/bash
    set -e

    seddery () {
            perl -pe 's/\b(?:elf_errorstatus|elf_negerrnoval)\b/int/g'
    }

    path="$1"
    in="$2"
    out="$5"

    set +e
    diff -pu --label "$path~" <(seddery <"$in") --label "$path" <(seddery <"$out")
    rc=$?
    set -e
    if [ $rc = 1 ]; then rc=0; fi
    exit $rc

Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>

v5: Introduce ELF_NOTE_INVALID, instead of using a literal ~0U.

v4: Fix regression in elf_round_up; use uint64_t here.

v3: Changes to booleans split off into separate patch.

v2: BUGFIX: Eliminate conversion to int of return from elf_xen_parse_notes.
    BUGFIX: Fix the one printf format thing which needs changing.
    Remove irrelevant change to constify note_desc.name in libelf-dominfo.c.
    In xc_dom_load_elf_symtab change one sizeof(int) to sizeof(unsigned).
    Do not change type of 2nd argument to memset.
    Provide seddery for easier review.
    Style fix.

Here and elsewhere in this patch:

namesz is a guest-provided parameter.  If it is sufficiently high,
namesz + 3 will overflow and end up being 0 after the rounding.

The result of this function would then falsely be elf_note_name() instead.

as namesz and descsz are defined to be 4 byte values, even for 64bit elf
files, perhaps something like this:

uint32_t namesz = elf_uval(elf, note, namesz);

if ( namesz > (uint32_t)-4 )
{
    elf_mark_broken(elf, "Overly long note");
    return NULL;
}

namesz = namesz + 3 & ~3;

* [PATCH 15/22] libelf: use only unsigned integers
  2013-06-07 18:27 [PATCH v6 00/22] XSA55 libelf fixes for unstable Ian Jackson
@ 2013-06-07 18:27 ` Ian Jackson

From: Ian Jackson @ 2013-06-07 18:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: xen-devel; +Cc: andrew.cooper3, mattjd, Ian Jackson, security

Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow.
Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with
security vulnerabilities etc.

So use only unsigned integers.  Exceptions are booleans (which we have
already changed) and error codes.

We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own
text segment, but not the char*s.  This is because it is safe to
access an arbitrary byte through a char*, but not necessarily safe to
convert an arbitrary value to a char.

As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign.

It is OK to change all the signed integers to unsigned because all the
inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect"
negative numbers.

In libelf-dominfo.c:elf_xen_parse we rename a variable "rc" to
"more_notes" as it actually contains a note count derived from the
input image.  The "error" return value from elf_xen_parse_notes is
changed from -1 to ~0U.

grepping shows only one occurrence of "PRId" or "%d" or "%ld" in
libelf and xc_dom_elfloader.c (a "%d" which becomes "%u").

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

For those concerned about unintentional functional changes, the
following rune produces a version of the patch which is much smaller
and eliminates only non-functional changes:

 GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=.../unsigned-differ git-diff <before>..<after>

where <before> and <after> are git refs for the code before and after
this patch, and unsigned-differ is this shell script:

    #!/bin/bash
    set -e

    seddery () {
            perl -pe 's/\b(?:elf_errorstatus|elf_negerrnoval)\b/int/g'
    }

    path="$1"
    in="$2"
    out="$5"

    set +e
    diff -pu --label "$path~" <(seddery <"$in") --label "$path" <(seddery <"$out")
    rc=$?
    set -e
    if [ $rc = 1 ]; then rc=0; fi
    exit $rc

Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>

v5: Introduce ELF_NOTE_INVALID, instead of using a literal ~0U.

v4: Fix regression in elf_round_up; use uint64_t here.

v3: Changes to booleans split off into separate patch.

v2: BUGFIX: Eliminate conversion to int of return from elf_xen_parse_notes.
    BUGFIX: Fix the one printf format thing which needs changing.
    Remove irrelevant change to constify note_desc.name in libelf-dominfo.c.
    In xc_dom_load_elf_symtab change one sizeof(int) to sizeof(unsigned).
    Do not change type of 2nd argument to memset.
    Provide seddery for easier review.
    Style fix.
