[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3] Sanity check xsave area when migrating or restoring from older Xen verions

[Don Koch <dkoch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Xen 4.3 and older transferred a maximum sized xsave area (as if all
the available XCR0 bits were set); the new version only transfers
based on the actual XCR0 bits. This may result in a smaller area if
the last sections were missing (e.g., the LWP area from an AMD
machine). If the size doesn't match the XCR0 derived size, the part of
the xsave area between the XCR0 specified and transferred size is
checked for zero data. If any part of the overflow area is non-zero,
we return with an error.

Changes in V3:
- use h->data for zero check
- remove max size check (use size that was sent)
- fix error message (drop first byte value)
- fix "for" issues
