[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] xen: add update indicator to vcpu_runstate_info



In order to support reading another vcpu's mapped vcpu_runstate_info
an indicator for an occurring update of the runstate information is
needed.

Add the possibility to activate setting this indicator in the highest
bit of state_entry_time via a vm_assist hypercall. When activated the
update indicator will be set before the runstate information is
modified in guest memory and it will be reset after modification is
done. As state_entry_time is guaranteed to be different after each
update the guest can detect any update (either in progress or while
reading the runstate data) by comparing state_entry_time before and
after reading runstate data: in case the values differ or the update
indicator was set the data might be inconsistent and should be reread.
