Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 01/16] hvmloader: Fix scratch_alloc to avoid overlaps
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 16:03:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1445875397-2846-2-git-send-email-anthony.perard@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1445875397-2846-1-git-send-email-anthony.perard@citrix.com>

scratch_alloc() set scratch_start to the last byte of the current
allocation.  The value of scratch_start is then reused as is (if it is
already aligned) in the next allocation.  This result in a potential reuse
of the last byte of the previous allocation.
