IMO the runstate is not a crucial piece of information, so it's better
to context switch fast.

In general we don't explicitly check for NULL, and you could write
this as:
if ( runstate ) ...
Note the adding spaces between parentheses and the condition. I would
also likely check runstate_guest(v) directly and assign to runstate
afterwards if it's set.

I think you need the barrier before clearing XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE from
the guest version of the runstate info, to make sure writes are not
re-ordered and hence that the XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag in the guest
version is not cleared before the full write has been committed?

I'm confused here, isn't runstate == v->runstate_guest.native at this
point?
I think you want to update v->runstate.state_entry_time here?

Same comment here related to the usage of runstate_guest instead of
runstate.

lock wants to be a bool here.

I think you must check runstate_guest with the lock taken?

I'm afraid this is not suitable, Linux will BUG if
VCPUOP_register_runstate_memory_area returns an error, and current
Linux code doesn't check that the area doesn't cross a page
boundary. You will need to take a reference to the possible two pages
in that case.

We have hvm_translate_get_page which seems similar, will need to look
into this.

There's no need to cast to unsigned long, you can just do pointer
arithmetic on the void * directly. That should also get rid of the
cast to vcpu_runstate_info I think.

Why is it not appropriate here to hold the lock? It might not be
technically needed, but still should work?
Thanks, Roger.
