Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Fix tools/xen-mceinj to handle >=4GB guest memory
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 13:35:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442381715-30893-1-git-send-email-haozhong.zhang@intel.com> (raw)

The existing xen-mceinj can not inject MCE through MSR_MCI_ADDR to a
domain w/ more than 4GB memory, e.g. if domain 0 has more than 4GB
memory, the execution of the command
        xen-mceinj -d 0 -t 0 -p 0x2721a900
will fail w/ a message "Failed to get pfn list ffffffff: Operation not
supported".

The cause is that the hypercall XEN_DOMCTL_getmemlist used by
xen-mceinj to translate the guest physical address (argument of '-p')
to the host machine address always fails if the domain has more than
4GB memory due to the mitigation of XSA-74.

This patchset fixes this problem by moving the translation from
xen-mceinj to the hypervisor, so that it is not necessary to use
XEN_DOMCTL_getmemlist.

The first two patches just fix serval code-style issues, while the
other two are the actual fix.

Changes from v1 to v2:
1. The correct trailing whitespaces are kept in patch 1 and 2.
2. Follow Xen code style in this version.
3. Fix several type and macro issues in patch 3.
4. Add a missing "put_gfn()" in patch 3.
5. Update the error messages in patch 3 to include more information.
6. Use parameterized domain id rather than a hardcoded 0 for several
   functions in xen-mceinj.c.
7. Update the commit message of patch 4 to explicitly state that the
   address translation is moved to the hypervisor.
