[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/8] xen: make GUEST_HANDLE_64() and uint64_aligned_t available everywhere

[David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>

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 limit so it may be used by any new structures.

There is a minimal cost for 32-bit guests on 64-but hypervisors as
set_guest_handle() needs to 0 the whole field on GUEST_HANDLE_64()
handles, but this is expected to be less than the overhead of having
to translate compat structures.
