This commit extends the function prototypes of the functions:
* __p2m_get_mem_access
* p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page

We extend the function prototype of "__p2m_get_mem_access" to hold an
argument of type "struct p2m_domain*", as we need to distinguish
between
the host's p2m and different altp2m views. While doing so, we
needed to
extend the function's prototype of "p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page"
to hold an argument of type "struct vcpu*".

Please details in the commit message why it is necessary to pass a
"struct vcpu *" to p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page.


Actually, it is already sufficient to provide a "struct domain *".
Thanks for the hint. I will extend the commit message in the next patch
accordingly.

No it is not, the stage-1 page table (VTTBR0, VTTBR1...) are per-vCPU
and if the current vCPU is not the correct one, you will have to
context switch few registers before.

It is not handled today, but we should avoid to have a broken interface.

I see. Ok, since it is not really used today, I will state that we will
need the "struct vcpu*" to access vcpu-related registers in the future.
Would that be ok?

I would recommend you to have a think on the problem mentioned in patch #24 first. You may need the vCPU to fix the bug.

Regards,
