Subject: [PATCH 02/10] xen: make GUEST_HANDLE_64() and uint64_aligned_t available everywhere
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 18:42:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1372095741-27012-3-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1372095741-27012-1-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com>

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

GUEST_HANDLE_64() and uint64_aligned_t allow hypercall ABI structures
to be identical (binary compatible) for 32 and 64-bit guests.  They
are currently limited to only being available for use in sysctls and
domctls.  Relax this restriction so they may be used by any new
structures.

There is a minimal cost for 32-bit guests on 64-but hypervisors as
set_xen_guest_handle() needs to zero the whole field on
GUEST_HANDLE_64() handles, but this is expected to be less than the
overhead of having to translate compat structures.
