arm/arm64: xen: Fix to convert percpu address to gfn correctly
Use per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() instead of virt_to_phys() for per-cpu address conversion. In xen_starting_cpu(), per-cpu xen_vcpu_info address is converted to gfn by virt_to_gfn() macro. However, since the virt_to_gfn(v) assumes the given virtual address is in linear mapped kernel memory area, it can not convert the per-cpu memory if it is allocated on vmalloc area. This depends on CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK. If it is enabled, the first chunk of percpu memory is linear mapped. In the other case, that is allocated from vmalloc area. Moreover, if the first chunk of percpu has run out until allocating xen_vcpu_info, it will be allocated on the 2nd chunk, which is based on kernel memory or vmalloc memory (depends on CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_KM). Without this fix and kernel configured to use vmalloc area for the percpu memory, the Dom0 kernel will fail to boot with following errors. [ 0.466172] Xen: initializing cpu0 [ 0.469601] ---------...
