[PATCH 1/2] xen/hypercall: fix hypercall fallback code for very old hypervisors

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Mon Oct 29 2012 - 10:20:48 EST


From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>

While copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op()
and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently
safe even if the actual structure is smaller than the container one,
copying back eventual output values the same way isn't: This may
collide with on-stack variables (particularly "rc") which may change
between the first and second memcpy() (i.e. the second memcpy() could
discard that change).

Move the fallback code into out-of-line functions, and handle all of
the operations known by this old a hypervisor individually: Some don't
require copying back anything at all, and for the rest use the
individual argument structures' sizes rather than the container's.
