2019-05-14xen/privcmd-buf.c: convert to use vm_map_pages_zero()Souptick Joarder
Convert to use vm_map_pages_zero() to map range of kernel memory to user vma. This driver has ignored vm_pgoff. We could later "fix" these drivers to behave according to the normal vm_pgoff offsetting simply by removing the _zero suffix on the function name and if that causes regressions, it gives us an easy way to revert.

2019-04-05xen: use struct_size() helper in kzalloc()Andrea Righi
struct privcmd_buf_vma_private has a zero-sized array at the end (pages), use the new struct_size() helper to determine the proper allocation size and avoid potential type mistakes.

2018-11-09xen: remove size limit of privcmd-buf mapping interfaceJuergen Gross
Currently the size of hypercall buffers allocated via /dev/xen/hypercall is limited to a default of 64 memory pages. For live migration of guests this might be too small as the page dirty bitmask needs to be sized according to the size of the guest. This means migrating a 8GB sized guest is already exhausting the default buffer size for the dirty bitmap. There is no sensible way to set a sane limit, so just remove it completely. The device node's usage is limited to root anyway, so there is no additional DOS scenario added by allowing unlimited buffers. While at it make the error path for the -ENOMEM case a little bit cleaner by setting n_pages to the number of successfully allocated pages instead of the target size.

2018-06-22xen: add new hypercall buffer mapping deviceJuergen Gross
For passing arbitrary data from user land to the Xen hypervisor the Xen tools today are using mlock()ed buffers. Unfortunately the kernel might change access rights of such buffers for brief periods of time e.g. for page migration or compaction, leading to access faults in the hypervisor, as the hypervisor can't use the locks of the kernel. In order to solve this problem add a new device node to the Xen privcmd driver to easily allocate hypercall buffers via mmap(). The memory is allocated in the kernel and just mapped into user space. Marked as VM_IO the user mapping will not be subject to page migration et al.
