Subject: [PATCH] xen: don't use privcmd_call() from xen_mc_flush()
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2018 11:58:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180613095806.2978-1-jgross@suse.com> (raw)

Using privcmd_call() for a singleton multicall seems to be wrong, as
privcmd_call() is using stac()/clac() to enable hypervisor access to
Linux user space.

Add a new xen_single_call() function to be use for that purpose.
