[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 38/39] ARM: new VGIC: Allocate two pages for struct vcpu

[Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxxxxx>]

At the moment we allocate exactly one page for struct vcpu on ARM, also
have a check in place to prevent it growing beyond 4KB.
As the struct includes the state of all 32 private (per-VCPU) interrupts,
we are at 3840 bytes on arm64 at the moment already. Growing the per-IRQ
VGIC structure even slightly makes the VCPU quickly exceed the 4K limit.
The new VGIC will need more space per virtual IRQ. I spent a few hours
trying to trim this down, but couldn't get it below 4KB, even with the
nasty hacks piling up to save some bytes here and there.
It turns out that beyond efficiency, maybe, there is no real technical
reason this struct has to fit in one page, so lifting the limit to two
pages seems like the most pragmatic solution.
Restrict this to compiling with the new VGIC and for ARM64 only.

Changelog v2 ... v3:
- rework alloc_vcpu_struct() to avoid nasty #ifdef

Changelog v1 ... v2:
- confine change to new VGIC and ARM64 only
