    xen/hypercall: fix hypercall fallback code for very old hypervisors · cf47a83f
    Jan Beulich authored
    While copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op()
    and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently
    safe even if the actual structure is smaller than the container one,
    copying back eventual output values the same way isn't: This may
    collide with on-stack variables (particularly "rc") which may change
    between the first and second memcpy() (i.e. the second memcpy() could
    discard that change).
    
    Move the fallback code into out-of-line functions, and handle all of
    the operations known by this old a hypervisor individually: Some don't
    require copying back anything at all, and for the rest use the
    individual argument structures' sizes rather than the container's.
