[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3] xen/sched: don't let XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE leak into vcpu_runstate_get()

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

vcpu_runstate_get() should never return a state entry time with
XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE set. To avoid this let update_runstate_area()
operate on a local runstate copy.

As it is required to first set the XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE indicator in
guest memory, then update all the runstate data, and then at last
clear the XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE again it is much less effort to have
a local copy of the runstate data instead of keeping only a copy of
state_entry_time.

This problem was introduced with commit 2529c850ea48f036 ("add update
indicator to vcpu_runstate_info").
