Subject: [PATCH v6 07/11] KVM: xen: allow vcpu_info to be mapped by fixed HVA
From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@...zon.com>
If the guest does not explicitly set the GPA of vcpu_info structure in
memory then, for guests with 32 vCPUs or fewer, the vcpu_info embedded
in the shared_info page may be used. As described in a previous commit,
the shared_info page is an overlay at a fixed HVA within the VMM, so in
this case it also more optimal to activate the vcpu_info cache with a
fixed HVA to avoid unnecessary invalidation if the guest memory layout
is modified.

+KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_VCPU_INFO_HVA
+ If the KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_SHARED_INFO_HVA flag is also set in the
+ Xen capabilities, then this attribute may be used to set the
+ userspace address of the vcpu_info for a given vCPU. It should
+ only be used when the vcpu_info resides at the "default" location
+ in the shared_info page. In this case it is safe to assume the
+ userspace address will not change, because the shared_info page is
+ an overlay on guest memory and remains at a fixed host address
+ regardless of where it is mapped in guest physical address space
+ and hence unnecessary invalidation of an internal cache may be
+ avoided if the guest memory layout is modified.
+ If the vcpu_info does not reside at the "default" location then
+ it is not guaranteed to remain at the same host address and
+ hence the aforementioned cache invalidation is required.
