[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 6/6] domain: use PGC_extra domheap page for shared_info



From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently shared_info is a shared xenheap page but shared xenheap pages
complicate future plans for live-update of Xen so it is desirable to,
where possible, not use them [1]. This patch therefore converts shared_info
into a PGC_extra domheap page. This does entail freeing shared_info during
domain_relinquish_resources() rather than domain_destroy() so care is
needed to avoid de-referencing a NULL shared_info pointer hence some
extra checks of 'is_dying' are needed.

NOTE: For Arm, the call to free_shared_info() in arch_domain_destroy() is
      left in place since it is idempotent and called in the error path for
      arch_domain_create().
