Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] xen: Hardware domain support
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 07:52:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1395921128-7086-1-git-send-email-dgdegra@tycho.nsa.gov> (raw)

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.

Changes since v2:
 - Rename and move CONFIG_LATE_HWDOM declaration to asm-x86/config.h
 - Move alloc_dom0_vcpu0 prototype change from patch 5 to 4
 - Also rename nmi_{dom0 => hwdom}_report
 - Add help/documentation for xl destroy -f

Changes since v1:
 - More complete conversion to is_hardware_domain (convert "== dom0")
 - Rename "dom0" global variable and associated functions
 - Avoid locating the hardware_domid variable in x86-only code
 - Require using "xl destroy -f 0" to destroy domain 0 to retain the
   existing guard against accidental attempts to destroy domain 0 that
   will still cause disruption of the platform.
 - Add an XSM permission check so that the security label of the
   hardware domain can be limited by the policy.
 - Rebase against updated xen/staging

[PATCH 1/7] xen: use domid check in is_hardware_domain
[PATCH 2/7] xen/iommu: Move dom0 setup to __hwdom_init
[PATCH 3/7] xen: prevent 0 from being used as a dynamic domid
[PATCH 4/7] xen: rename dom0 to hardware_domain
[PATCH 5/7] xen: rename various functions referencing dom0
[PATCH 6/7] xen: Allow hardare domain != dom0
[PATCH 7/7] tools/libxl: Allow dom0 to be destroyed
