Commit Message

Daniel P. Smith April 20, 2022, 9:04 p.m. UTC
There are now instances where internal hypervisor logic needs to make resource
allocation calls that are protectd by XSM checks. The internal hypervisor logic
is represented a number of system domains which by designed are represented by
non-privileged struct domain instances. To enable these logic blocks to
function correctly but in a controlled manner, this commit changes the idle
domain to be created as a privileged domain under the default policy, which is
inherited by the SILO policy, and demoted before transitioning to running. A
new XSM hook, xsm_transition_running, is introduced to allow each XSM policy
type to demote the idle domain appropriately for that policy type.

For flask a stub is added to ensure that flask policy system will function
correctly with this patch until flask is extended with support for starting the
idle domain privileged and properly demoting it on the call to
xsm_transtion_running.

Checking immediately after the XSM hook seems redundant, though I
guess having a sanity check isn't harmful.

I'd prefer flask_transition_running.  That way grep for the hook name
also finds the flask implementation.

I was back and forth on this, so I threw it in and figured if there was
strong opinions against it I could easily remove and respin the series.
