Subject: [PATCH v6 00/15] switch to domheap for Xen page tables

Message-ID: <cover.1587735799.git.hongyxia@amazon.com> (raw)

From: Hongyan Xia <hongyxia@amazon.com>

This series rewrites all the remaining functions and finally makes the
switch from xenheap to domheap for Xen page tables, so that they no
longer need to rely on the direct map, which is a big step towards
removing the direct map.

This series depends on the following two mini-series:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2020-04/msg00730.html
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2020-04/msg00940.html

Since v1, 9 patches have already been merged. Apart from the first 2
patches in this series, the rest have not seen comments since v1 so they
only contain modifications from my side compared with v1.

---
Changed in v6:
- drop the patches that have already been merged.
- rebase and cleanup.
- rewrite map_pages_to_xen() and modify_xen_mappings() in a way that
  does not require an end_of_loop goto label.
