[Xen-devel] [PATCH v7 1/8] xen: xsm: flask: introduce XENMAPSPACE_gmfn_share for memory sharing

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Zhongze Liu <blackskygg@xxxxxxxxx>

Author: Zhongze Liu <blackskygg@xxxxxxxxx>

The existing XENMAPSPACE_gmfn_foreign subop of XENMEM_add_to_physmap forbids
a Dom0 to map memory pages from one DomU to another, which restricts some useful
yet not dangerous use cases -- such as sharing pages among DomU's so that they
can do shm-based communication.

This patch introduces XENMAPSPACE_gmfn_share to address this inconvenience,
which is mostly the same as XENMAPSPACE_gmfn_foreign but has its own xsm check.

Specifically, the patch:

* Introduces a new av permission MMU__SHARE_MEM to denote if two domains can
  share memory by using the new subop;
* Introduces xsm_map_gmfn_share() to check if (current) has proper permission
  over (t) AND MMU__SHARE_MEM is allowed between (d) and (t);
* Modify the default xen.te to allow MMU__SHARE_MEM for normal domains that
  allow grant mapping/event channels.

The new subop is marked unsupported for x86 because calling p2m_add_foregin
on two DomU's is currently not supported on x86.

This is for the proposal "Allow setting up shared memory areas between VMs
from xl config file" (see [1]).
