Recently, effort started for making it production ready and, eventually, the new Xen's default scheduler. As a consequence of that, it has undergone a great deal of development, testing and benchmarking. In fact, Credit2's much more modern (wrt Credit1) design and cleaner code makes it a lot easier to understand what the scheduler is doing, fix scheduling issues that may come up, and implement new and more advanced features, in future. In some more details: - key features that were missing (pinning and context switching rate-limiting) have now been implemented, and more (soft affinity, caps and reservations) are about to come. The gap wrt Credit1 is therefore closing. In particular, with pinning and rate-limiting available, the scheduler can be considered usable. - Credit2 is tested by OSSTest since long time. Furthermore, as a part of recent efforts, stress tests and benchmarks have been run and shown no bugs or stability issues. - A number of different benchmarks have been run, most of them comparing Credit2 with Credit1. Some of the results were posted on xen-devel, some others have been illustrated during a talk at 2016 edition of Xen-Project Developer Summit. In general, performance look promising --if not better than Credit1 already, in some of the cases. It therefore appears that we are ready to mark the Credit2 scheduler as a 'Supported' feature, and ask users to look at it and try it, if they think it suits their needs. Of course, declaring something 'Supported' has security implications. So here it is how the situation looks like from a security standpoint: 1) Is guest->host privilege escalation possible? The only interfaces exposed to unprivileged guests are the SCHEDOP hypercalls, and timers. None of those hypercalls contain any pointers, and they don't look to contain any privilege escalation path. Also, they're not specific to Credit2, as they're "used" by all schedulers (ingluding the current default, Credit1), so anything about these interfaces would be a security concern already. 2) Is guest user->guest kernel escalation possible? The guest kernel is not really relying on anything from the scheduler to protect itself or any data in any way. 3) Is there any information leakage? The only information which the scheduler exposes to unprivileged guests is the timing information. This may be able to be used for side-channel attacks to probabilistically infer things about other vcpus running on the same system; but this has not traditionally been considered within the security boundary. And, again, this is possible with all schedulers. The control domain can issue DOMCTL_SCHEDOP and SYSCTL_SCHEDOP hypercalls, but the involved data structures are handled in a way that does not leak information (which would be leaked "only" to Dom0 anyway). 4) Can a Denial-of-Service be triggered? This is a risk, with schedulers, and one that's hard to foresee. For instance, it _did_ happen on Credit1, in the past (a vcpu could "game the system" by sleeping at particular times to gain BOOST priority and monopolize 95% of the cpu). In that case, it was possible because of the probabilistic nature of accounting in Credit1 (which was then fixed). Well, Credit2: - already do accurate, rather than probabilistic, accounting; - does not have any BOOST or, in general, any way for a vcpu to become 'more important' than the others: they're all subjected to the same crediting algorithm. Also note that, the accounting and the crediting algorithm are a lot simpler than in Credit1, and hence a lot easier to understand, debug and audit.

Mini-os under extra is not affected because it already has its own build system when it is separated from xen.git. It is undesirable because now hypervisor build is affected by both Kconfig and debug. Disentangle the semantics of debug by pushing relevant options to individual sub-systems. For hypervisor, the flags previously added by debug option is now controlled by CONFIG_DEBUG. For tools, flags are moved from config/*.mk into tools/Rules.mk. For stubdom, because it unilaterally sets debug=y before including top-level Config.mk, we only need to move the debug build set of flags into stubdom Makefile. Specifically there are some considerations on what flags are picked: 1. we don't need -fno-optimize-sibling-calls anymore because gcc doc indicates that it is not enabled for -O1, which we already set in the debug build. 2. for tools we use -O0 -g3 in Rules.mk because they already take precedence over the flags set in config/*.mk. 3. for hypervisor we don't add -fno-omit-frame-pointer to debug build because that's controlled by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. This patch doesn't intend to tune those flags, but to provide identical set of effective flags as before. The debug option in Config.mk will only affect tools components after this patch is applied.
