[Xen-devel] xenpm fail

["Zhang, Yang Z" <yang.z.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi ian
I find Cs 22292 cause xenpm broken. When run "xenpm start" or "xenpm 
get-cpuidle-states" and other xenmpm command, it will get segment fault. 
After do some investigation, I find call xc_pm_get_cxstat() will free the 
cxstat->tiggers, 
For example:
Here is some code form my test.c.

struct xc_cx_stat cxstatinfo, *cxstat = &cxstatinfo;

cxstat->triggers = malloc(max_cx_num * sizeof(uint64_t)); 

if ( !cxstat->triggers ) {
        printf("get memory fail");
        return NOMEM;
}
ret = xc_pm_get_cxstat(xc_handle, cpu, cxstat);
printf("triggers=%lx \n", cxstat->triggers[0]);

Run it, and it will show segment fault at print the cxtat->tiggers[0]. It seems 
that xc_pm_get_cxstat() will free cxstat->triggers which we allocate memory 
before, and then when try to touch cxstat->tiggers[0], the issue raised.
If remove the patch 22292, everything is ok.

best regards
yang
