Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix pvops Xen detection for arm machine
Since the xen_start_info on the arm/arm64 platform points to a static
variable '_xen_start_info'(see its definition as below), which makes
that the address of xen_start_info will never be null.
arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c:40:static struct start_info _xen_start_info;
arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c:41:struct start_info *xen_start_info = &_xen_start_info;
arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c:42:EXPORT_SYMBOL(xen_start_info);
As a result, the is_pvops_xen() in commit 4badc6229c69 ("Fix pvops
Xen detection for kernels >= v4.20") always returns TRUE because it
can always read out the non-null address of xen_start_info, finally
the following error will be reported on arm/arm64 platform(non-Xen
environment) because p2m_mid_missing and xen_p2m_addr are not defined:
crash: cannot resolve "p2m_top"
For the arm/arm64 platform, fix it by using xen_vcpu_info instead of
xen_start_info to detect Xen dumps.
In addition, also explicitly narrow the scope of the xen_start_info
check to x86 with the machine_type(), there is no need to check it on
other architectures.
Fixes: 4badc6229c69 ("Fix pvops Xen detection for kernels >= v4.20")
