memory corruption in HYPERVISOR_physdev_op()

Hi Jeremy,

My static analyzer complains about potential memory corruption in
HYPERVISOR_physdev_op()

arch/x86/include/asm/xen/hypercall.h
   389  static inline int
   390  HYPERVISOR_physdev_op(int cmd, void *arg)
   391  {
   392          int rc = _hypercall2(int, physdev_op, cmd, arg);
   393          if (unlikely(rc == -ENOSYS)) {
   394                  struct physdev_op op;
   395                  op.cmd = cmd;
   396                  memcpy(&op.u, arg, sizeof(op.u));
   397                  rc = _hypercall1(int, physdev_op_compat, &op);
   398                  memcpy(arg, &op.u, sizeof(op.u));
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some of the arg buffers are not as large as sizeof(op.u) which is either
12 or 16 depending on the size of longs in struct physdev_apic.

   399          }
   400          return rc;
   401  }

One example of this is in xen_initdom_restore_msi_irqs().

arch/x86/pci/xen.c
   337                  struct physdev_pci_device restore_ext;
   338  
   339                  restore_ext.seg = pci_domain_nr(dev->bus);
   340                  restore_ext.bus = dev->bus->number;
   341                  restore_ext.devfn = dev->devfn;
   342                  ret = HYPERVISOR_physdev_op(PHYSDEVOP_restore_msi_ext,
   343                                          &restore_ext);
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are only 4 bytes here.

   344                  if (ret == -ENOSYS)
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If we hit this condition, we have corrupted some memory.

   345                          pci_seg_supported = false;

regards,
dan carpenter
