Was there anything special about the setup or any 32-bit pvhvm guest migration (on 64-bit hypervisor I suppose) would fail? I can try checking both current and old versions to make sure the issue was acutually fixed. >> >> Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering >> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk >> (cherry picked from commit 9d02b43dee0d7fb18dfb13a00915550b1a3daa9f) >> >> [On resume we need to reset the xen_vcpu_info, which the original >> patch did not do] >> >> Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov >> --- >> arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c | 74 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ >> arch/x86/xen/suspend.c | 2 +- >> arch/x86/xen/xen-ops.h | 2 +- >> 3 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c b/arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c >> index ffb101e..a11af62 100644 >> --- a/arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c >> +++ b/arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c >> @@ -1726,23 +1726,29 @@ asmlinkage __visible void __init xen_start_kernel(void) >> #endif >> } >> >> -void __ref xen_hvm_init_shared_info(void) >> +#ifdef CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM >> +#define HVM_SHARED_INFO_ADDR 0xFE700000UL >> +static struct shared_info *xen_hvm_shared_info;
