Hi
This series introduces possibility to disable 32-bit (COMPAT) interface support
in the following case:
- Only PVH domains are used
- Guests (OS) are started by using direct Direct Kernel Boot
- Guests (OS) are 64-bit and Guest early boot code, which is running not
in 64-bit mode, does not access Xen interfaces
(hypercalls, shared_info, ..)
If above criterias are met the COMPAT HVM interface become unreachable and can
be disabled.
Coverage reports analyze and adding guard (debug) exceptions in
hvm_hypercall/hvm_do_multicall_call
and hvm_latch_shinfo_size() confirm that COMPAT HVM interface is unused for
safety use-case.
Changes in v2 described in each patch:
- patch "x86: constify has_32bit_shinfo() if !CONFIG_COMPAT" squashed in patch
2.
