From 8f0d9e956f8000880cb0fce47c25e7bc16d79d41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Ostrovsky Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 13:18:18 -0400 Subject: x86/espfix/xen: Fix allocation of pages for paravirt page tables commit 8762e5092828c4dc0f49da5a47a644c670df77f3 upstream. init_espfix_ap() is currently off by one level when informing hypervisor that allocated pages will be used for ministacks' page tables. The most immediate effect of this on a PV guest is that if 'stack_page = __get_free_page()' returns a non-zeroed-out page the hypervisor will refuse to use it for a page table (which it shouldn't be anyway). This will result in warnings by both Xen and Linux. More importantly, a subsequent write to that page (again, by a PV guest) is likely to result in fatal page fault.
