Hi all, This series is trying to fix the reported guest magic region allocation issue for 11 Dom0less domUs, an error message can seen from the init-dom0less application on 1:1 direct-mapped Dom0less DomUs: ``` Allocating magic pages memory.c:238:d0v0 mfn 0x39000 doesn't belong to d1 Error on alloc magic pages ``` This is because populate_physmap() automatically assumes gfn == mfn for direct mapped domains. This cannot be true for the magic pages that are allocated later for 1:1 Dom0less DomUs from the init-dom0less helper application executed in Dom0. For domain using statically allocated memory but not 1:1 direct-mapped, similar error "failed to retrieve a reserved page" can be seen as the reserved memory list is empty at that time. In [1] I've tried to fix this issue by the domctl approach, and discussions in [2] and [3] indicates that a domctl is not really necessary, as we can simplify the issue to "allocate the Dom0less guest magic regions at the Dom0less DomU build time and pass the region base PFN to init-dom0less application". Therefore, the first patch in this series will allocate magic pages for Dom0less DomUs, the second patch will store the allocated region base PFN to HVMOP params like HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_IRQ, and the third patch uses the HVMOP to get the stored guest magic region base PFN to avoid hardcoding GUEST_MAGIC_BASE. Gitlab CI for this series can be found in [4].
