[PATCH 0/7] Xen fixes and minor cleanups

[Daniel Kiper]

Hi,

This patch series contains following Xen fixes and cleanups:
  - xen: Improve calculation of beginning of virtual address space,
  - elf: Increase buf size in get_pt_note_info(),
  - xen: Take into account new frame table address since Xen 4.3,
  - xen: Enforce page size only when xen-syms file is used,
  - Mute some compiler warnings,
  - Use elf_getshdrstrndx() instead of elf_getshstrndx(),
  - Do not break progress messages.

All patches were tested with Xen versions up to 4.3.

[PATCH 1/7] xen: Improve calculation of beginning of virtual address space

[Daniel Kiper]

Xen commit 4b28bf6ae90bd83fd1113d8bdc53c3266ffeb328 (x86: re-introduce
map_domain_page() et al) once again altered virtual address space.
Current algorithm calculating its start could not cope with that change.
New version establishes this value on the base of domain_list placement
and is more generic.

Similar patch was applied to crash tool.

[PATCH 2/7] elf: Increase buf size in get_pt_note_info()

[Daniel Kiper]

get_pt_note_info() always ignores VMCOREINFO_XEN note
because buf size is too small. It does not have place
for \0 char which marks EOS. This patch fixes that bug
and VMCOREINFO_XEN note living in /proc/vmcore file
could be properly detected now.

Elf Note namesz is defined to include the terminating null character, so
I would argue that VMCOREINFO_XEN_NOTE_NAME_BYTES is off-by-one.

I have checked that once again. By mistake I have assumed that
sizeof("string") does not take into account \0 char (like strlen()).
It means that in real buf could accommodate VMCOREINFO_XEN string
with EOS and relevant condition should be fixed instead of buf size.
I will fix it in second patch series release.

Thanks,

Daniel

[PATCH 4/7] xen: Enforce page size only when xen-syms file is used

[Daniel Kiper]

Enforce page size only when xen-syms file is used.
Otherwise its size could be read from VMCOREINFO
file or /proc/vmcore file.

Discarding a const qualifier like this is usually a good sign that you
are misusing name in the first place.

Indeed, name is merely non-const to strdup() and reuse the same variable.

This would be more clearly done using

const char * diename = dwarf_diename(&result) ;

and

name = strdup(diename);
