x86/mm/shadow: Fix initialization of PV shadow L4 tables.
Shadowed PV L4 tables must have the same Xen mappings as their unshadowed equivalent. This is done by copying the Xen entries verbatim from the idle pagetable, and then using guest_l4_slot() in the SHADOW_FOREACH_L4E() iterator to avoid touching those entries. adc5afbf1c70ef55c260fb93e4b8ce5ccb918706 (x86: support up to 16Tb) changed the definition of ROOT_PAGETABLE_XEN_SLOTS to extend right to the top of the address space, which causes the shadow code to copy Xen mappings into guest-kernel-address slots too. In the common case, all those slots are zero in the idle pagetable, and no harm is done. But if any slot above #271 is non-zero, Xen will crash when that slot is later cleared (it attempts to drop shadow-pagetable refcounts on its own L4 pagetables). Fix by using the new ROOT_PAGETABLE_PV_XEN_SLOTS when appropriate. Monitor pagetables need the full Xen mappings, so they keep using the old name (with its new semantics). This is CVE-2013-4356 / XSA-64. Signed-off-by: Tim Deegan <tim@xen.org> Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
