    KVM: Reduce kvm stack usage in kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() · f0d66275
    Dave Hansen 提交于
    On my machine with gcc 3.4, kvm uses ~2k of stack in a few
    select functions.  This is mostly because gcc fails to
    notice that the different case: statements could have their
    stack usage combined.  It overflows very nicely if interrupts
    happen during one of these large uses.
    
    This patch uses two methods for reducing stack usage.
    1. dynamically allocate large objects instead of putting
       on the stack.
    2. Use a union{} member for all of the case variables. This
       tricks gcc into combining them all into a single stack
       allocation. (There's also a comment on this)
