x86/viridian: Re-purpose the HVM parameter to be a feature mask
The following commits introduced the time reference counter MSR and
TSC/APIC frequency MSRs into the viridian feature set respectively:
e36cd2cdc9674a7a4855d21fb7b3e6e17c4bb33b
84657efd9116f40924aa13c9d5a349e007da716f
The time reference counter MSR feature was then reverted by commit
1cd4fab14ce25859efa4a2af13475e6650a5506c
because a flaw in the implementation meant the counter was reset on
migration.
All of these changes were made without any addtional options being
added to the VM configuration, or any compatibility checks being made
in the domain save/restore code. Hence setting the single boolean
'viridian' option in the VM configuration yields a different set of
features depending on which version of Xen the VM is started on, and the
feature set can change across migration (so new MSRs can magically appear).
This patch grandfathers in the current viridian features set and calls them
the 'base' and 'freq' feature sets. HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN is re-purposed as
a feature mask. The hypervisor has only ever allowed it ot be set to 0
or 1, so the presence of the base and freq sets are indicated by setting
bit 0. The freq set can then be turned off by setting bit 1, thus
restoring the pre-Xen-4.4 base set. Newly implemented viridian features
can be optionally enabled in future by setting further bits.
The viridian option in xl.cfg(5) has also been changed to a list so
that the sets can be individually enabled or disabled. For compatibility,
if the option is specified as a boolean, then a true (1) value will enable
the base and freq sets and a false (0) value will not enable any
enlightenments.
This patch also alters the allowed write accesses to HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN.
Currently there is nothing to stop the guest writing this value (which,
while harmless to anything else, should not happen) and nothing to
stop a toolstack from setting the value back to zero whilst the guest is
running, causing CPUID leaves to disappear and MSR accesses to start
causing GPFs in the guest. Both of these possibilities are now disallowed:
Once the parameter is set to a non-zero value it may not be modified (only
re-written with the same value), and guests no longer have any write
access.
