van der Linden, Frank d1ecfa9d1f x86/xen: Reset VCPU0 info pointer after shared_info remap
This patch fixes crashes during boot for HVM guests on older (pre HVM
vector callback) Xen versions. Without this, current kernels will always
fail to boot on those Xen versions.

Sample stack trace:

During boot, the HYPERVISOR_shared_info page gets remapped to make it work
with KASLR. This means that any pointer derived from it needs to be
adjusted.

The only value that this applies to is the vcpu_info pointer for VCPU 0.
For PV and HVM with the callback vector feature, this gets done via the
smp_ops prepare_boot_cpu callback. Older Xen versions do not support the
HVM callback vector, so there is no Xen-specific smp_ops set up in that
scenario. So, the vcpu_info pointer for VCPU 0 never gets set to the proper
value, and the first reference of it will be bad. Fix this by resetting it
immediately after the remap.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
