      xen/x86: replace order-based range checking of M2P table by linear one · ccbcdf7c
      Jan Beulich authored
      The order-based approach is not only less efficient (requiring a shift
      and a compare, typical generated code looking like this
      
      	mov	eax, [machine_to_phys_order]
      	mov	ecx, eax
      	shr	ebx, cl
      	test	ebx, ebx
      	jnz	...
      
      whereas a direct check requires just a compare, like in
      
      	cmp	ebx, [machine_to_phys_nr]
      	jae	...
      
      ), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element
      address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
      sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
      hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
      unknown what may actually be mapped there).
      
      Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should
      have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger
      if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit
      boundary.
