[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/3] per_cpu() fixes

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch series is two independent but related changes to the use of
per_cpu() with offline pcpus.

The first patch is a fix for use of get_cpu_idle_time() whereby toolstack
hypercalls could cause an effective NULL structure dereference.

The second patch is a forward looking fix to try and prevent similar issues in
the future.  It causes uses of per_cpu() against an offline pcpu to cause a
#GF rather than to try and dereference a very low address.

The third patch is debugging code to demonstrate the effects of patch 2.
