[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.6] xen/arm: vgic-v2: Map the GIC virtual CPU interface with the correct size

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On GICv2, the GIC virtual CPU interface is at minimum 8KB. Due some to
some necessary quirk for GIC using 64KB stride, we are mapping the
region in 2 time.
The first mapping is 4KB and the second one is 8KB, i.e 12KB in total.
Although the minimum supported size (and widely used) is 8KB. This means
that we are mapping 4KB more to any guest using GICv2.

While this looks scary at first glance, the GIC virtual CPU interface is
most frequently at the end the GIC I/O region. So we will most likely
map an an unused I/O region or a mirrored version of GICV for platform
using 64KB stride.

Nonetheless, fix the second mapping to only map 4KB.

This is a candidate for Xen 4.6 and backport to Xen 4.5. Without this
patch we are mapping 4KB more than we should to any guest. While this
looks scary at first glance, in pratice there is always space after the
GIC I/O region. So we would just expose unused I/O range.

Boot tested on midway (ARM32) and x-gene (ARM64).
