Subject: [PATCH v4] xen: detect uninitialized xenbus in xenbus_init
Date:   Tue, 23 Nov 2021 13:07:48 -0800

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xilinx.com>

If the xenstore page hasn't been allocated properly, reading the value
of the related hvm_param (HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN) won't actually return
error. Instead, it will succeed and return zero. Instead of attempting
to xen_remap a bad guest physical address, detect this condition and
return early.

Note that although a guest physical address of zero for
HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN is theoretically possible, it is not a good choice
and zero has never been validly used in that capacity.

Also recognize all bits set as an invalid value.

For 32-bit Linux, any pfn above ULONG_MAX would get truncated. Pfns
above ULONG_MAX should never be passed by the Xen tools to HVM guests
anyway, so check for this condition and return early.

Changes in v4:
- say "all bits set" instead of INVALID_PFN
- improve check

Changes in v3:
- improve in-code comment
- improve check

Changes in v2:
- add check for ULLONG_MAX (unitialized)
- add check for ULONG_MAX #if BITS_PER_LONG == 32 (actual error)
- add pr_err error message
