It's a result of some version-fu in the interface:
Linux's drivers/xen/Kconfig defines:
if XEN
config XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION
hex
default 0x00030203
xen.h defines:
struct mmuext_op {
unsigned int cmd;
union {
/* [UN]PIN_TABLE, NEW_BASEPTR, NEW_USER_BASEPTR */
xen_pfn_t mfn;
/* INVLPG_LOCAL, INVLPG_ALL, SET_LDT */
unsigned long linear_addr;
} arg1;
union {
/* SET_LDT */
unsigned int nr_ents;
/* TLB_FLUSH_MULTI, INVLPG_MULTI */
XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_00030205(void) vcpumask; /* MW:note the macro name */
} arg2;
};
typedef struct
And xen-compat.h defines:
/* Fields defined as a Xen guest handle since 0x00030205. */
#if __XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__ >= 0x00030205
#define XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_00030205(type) XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(type)
#else
#define XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_00030205(type) type *
#endif
So actually the field vcpumask is currently being compiled as a void *.
Cheers,
Mark
