[XEN v5 01/10] xen/arm: domain_build: Track unallocated pages using the frame number
Posted by Ayan Kumar Halder 1 year, 2 months ago
rangeset_{xxx}_range() functions are invoked with 'start' and 'size' as
arguments which are either 'uint64_t' or 'paddr_t'. However, the function
accepts 'unsigned long' for 'start' and 'size'. 'unsigned long' is 32 bits for
Arm32. Thus, there is an implicit downcasting from 'uint64_t'/'paddr_t' to
'unsigned long' when invoking rangeset_{xxx}_range().

So, it may seem there is a possibility of lose of data due to truncation.

In reality, 'start' and 'size' are always page aligned. And Arm32 currently
supports 40 bits as the width of physical address.
So if the addresses are page aligned, the last 12 bits contain zeroes.
Thus, we could instead pass page frame number which will contain 28 bits (40-12
on Arm32) and this can be represented using 'unsigned long'.

On Arm64, this change will not induce any adverse side effect as the width of
physical address is 48 bits. Thus, the width of 'gfn' (ie 48 - 12 = 36) can be
represented using 'unsigned long' (which is 64 bits wide).

Changes from -

v3 - 1. Extracted the patch from https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2023-02/msg00657.html
and added it to this series.
2. Modified add_ext_regions(). This accepts a frame number instead of physical
address.

v4 - 1. Reworded the commit message to use Arm32/Arm64
(32-bit/64-bit Arm architecture).
2. Replaced pfn with gfn to denote guest frame number in add_ext_regions().
3. Use pfn_to_paddr() to return a physical address from the guest frame number.

NIT: This reads as const, so it would be better to write: "as the max supported width of ..."

Thus, the width of 'gfn' (ie 48 - 12 = 36) can be

It is always good to have accurate commit message for the future reader.
