[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/xen: fix pv boot



Commit 9da3f2b7405440 ("x86/fault: BUG() when uaccess helpers fault on
kernel addresses") introduced a regression for booting Xen PV guests.

Xen PV guests are using __put_user() and __get_user() for accessing the
p2m map (physical to machine frame number map) as accesses might fail
in case of not populated areas of the map.

With above commit using __put_user() and __get_user() for accessing
kernel pages is no longer valid. So replace the Xen hack by adding
appropriate p2m access functions using the default fixup handler.

Fixes: 9da3f2b7405440 ("x86/fault: BUG() when uaccess helpers fault on kernel 
addresses")
