xentrace: fix off-by-one in calculate_tbuf_size
Commit "xentrace: reduce trace buffer size to something mfn_offset can reach" contains an off-by-one bug. max_mfn_offset needs to be reduced by exactly the value of t_info_first_offset. If the system has two cpus and the number of requested trace pages is very large, the final number of trace pages + the offset will not fit into a short. As a result the variable offset in alloc_trace_bufs() will wrap while allocating buffers for the second cpu. Later share_xen_page_with_privileged_guests() will be called with a wrong page and the ASSERT in this function triggers. If the ASSERT is ignored by running a non-dbg hypervisor the asserts in xentrace itself trigger because "cons" is not aligned because the very last trace page for the second cpu is a random mfn. Thanks to Jan for the quick analysis. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> Acked-by: George Dunlap <george.dunlap@eu.citrix.com>
