[PATCH] x86/xen: allow userspace access during hypercalls

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Userspace application can do a hypercall through /dev/xen/privcmd, and
some for some hypercalls argument is a pointers to user-provided
structure. When SMAP is supported and enabled, hypervisor can't access.
So, lets allow it.
