Pass an hvm boolean parameter to the elf note parsing and checking
routines, so that better checking can be done in case libelf is
dealing with an hvm container.

elf_xen_note_check shouldn't return early unless PHYS32_ENTRY is set
and the container is of type HVM, or else the loader and version
checks would be avoided for kernels intended to be booted as PV but
that also have PHYS32_ENTRY set.

Adjust elf_xen_addr_calc_check so that the virtual addresses are
actually physical ones (by setting virt_base and elf_paddr_offset to
zero) when the container is of type HVM, as that container is always
started with paging disabled.

Changes since v1:
 - Expand comments.
 - Do not set virt_entry to phys_entry unless it's an HVM container.

This message is wrong now if hvm is true but parms->virt_base != UNSET_ADDR.
Best perhaps is to avoid emitting the message altogether when hvm is true.
(Since you'll be touching it anyway, perhaps a good opportunity to do away
with passing parms->virt_base to elf_msg(), and instead simply use a literal
zero.)

Don't you want "|| hvm" here as well, or alternatively suppress the
fallback to the __xen_guest section in the PVH case (near the end of
elf_xen_parse())?

Similar remark as further up for the elf_msg() down below here.

The legacy __xen_guest section doesn't support PHYS32_ENTRY, so yes,
that part could be completely skipped when called from an HVM
container.

I think I will fix that in another patch though if you are OK, as
it's not strictly related to the calculation fixes done here.

Thanks, Roger.

That's fine; it wants to be a prereq to the one here then, though,
I think.

Would it be possible to add some comment to xen/include/public/elfnote.h
Indicating which elfnotes are evaluated for which guest types, including
a hint which elfnotes _have_ been evaluated before this series? This
will help cleaning up guests regarding advertisement of elfnotes
(something I've been planning to do for the Linux kernel).
