[Xen-devel] [PATCH V4] xen: Introduce VM_EVENT_FLAG_SET_REGISTERS

[Razvan Cojocaru <rcojocaru@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A previous version of this patch dealing with support for skipping
the current instruction when a vm_event response requested it
computed the instruction length in the hypervisor, adding non-trivial
code dependencies. This patch allows a userspace vm_event client to
simply request that the guest's EIP is set to an arbitary value,
computed by the introspection application. The registers that can
now be set are EAX-EDX, ESP, EBP, ESI, EDI, R8-R15, EFLAGS, and EIP.
CR0, CR3 and CR4 are not set, as at the time of vm_event_resume()
we can't call hvm_set_cr{0,3,4}() and simply setting
v->arch.hvm_vcpu.guest_cr[{0,3,4}] is unlikely to have the desired
effect. The rest of the vm_event registers are not set because
they're not being filled by hvm_event_fill_regs(), but only by
p2m_vm_event_fill_regs(). Currently x86-only.
The VCPU needs to be paused for this flag to take effect.

Changes since V3:
 - Added Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags.
 - Updated the header comment and patch description to explicitly
   state that support is only being added for x86 registers.
