Tony Breeds and Rusty's patches to add make check and make fullcheck allow you to run portions of the hypervisor under valgrind. While doing this, I noticed that there are a lot of places in dom0_ops.c that we're either not checking the return value of copy_to_user or returning EINVAL instead of EFAULT.

The attach patch makes sure wherever we call copy_to_user we check for error and return EFAULT.

Regards,

Anthony Liguor
