From: Paul Durrant pdurrant@amazon.com
The shared_info page is not guest memory as such. It is a dedicated page allocated by the VMM and overlaid onto guest memory in a GFN chosen by the guest and specified in the XENMEM_add_to_physmap hypercall. The guest may even request that shared_info be moved from one GFN to another by re-issuing that hypercall, but the HVA is never going to change.
Because the shared_info page is an overlay the memory slots need to be updated in response to the hypercall. However, memory slot adjustment is not atomic and, whilst all vCPUs are paused, there is still the possibility that events may be delivered (which requires the shared_info page to be updated) whilst the shared_info GPA is absent. The HVA is never absent though, so it makes much more sense to use that as the basis for the kernel's mapping.
Hence add a new KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO_HVA attribute type for this purpose and a KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_SHARED_INFO_HVA flag to advertize its availability. Don't actually advertize it yet though. That will be done in a subsequent patch, which will also add tests for the new attribute type.
Also update the KVM API documentation with the new attribute and also fix it up to consistently refer to 'shared_info' (with the underscore).
