/*P:010 * A hypervisor allows multiple Operating Systems to run on a single machine. * To quote David Wheeler: "Any problem in computer science can be solved with * another layer of indirection." * * We keep things simple in two ways. First, we start with a normal Linux * kernel and insert a module (lg.ko) which allows us to run other Linux * kernels the same way we'd run processes. We call the first kernel the Host, * and the others the Guests. The program which sets up and configures Guests * (such as the example in Documentation/lguest/lguest.c) is called the * Launcher. * * Secondly, we only run specially modified Guests, not normal kernels: setting * CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST to "y" compiles this file into the kernel so it knows * how to be a Guest at boot time. This means that you can use the same kernel * you boot normally (ie. as a Host) as a Guest. * * These Guests know that they cannot do privileged operations, such as disable * interrupts, and that they have to ask the Host to do such things explicitly. * This file consists of all the replacements for such low-level native * hardware operations: these special Guest versions call the Host. * * So how does the kernel know it's a Guest? We'll see that later, but let's * just say that we end up here where we replace the native functions various * "paravirt" structures with our Guest versions, then boot like normal. :*/ /* * Copyright (C) 2006, Rusty Russell IBM Corporation. * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but * WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, GOOD TITLE or * NON INFRINGEMENT.

The easy parts are behind us, and the trek gradually * winds uphill from here. * * Quick refresher: memory is divided into "pages" of 4096 bytes each. The CPU * maps virtual addresses to physical addresses using "page tables". We could * use one huge index of 1 million entries: each address is 4 bytes, so that's * 1024 pages just to hold the page tables. But since most virtual addresses * are unused, we use a two level index which saves space. The cr3 register * contains the physical address of the top level "page directory" page, which * contains physical addresses of up to 1024 second-level pages. Each of these * second level pages contains up to 1024 physical addresses of actual pages, * or Page Table Entries (PTEs). * * Here's a diagram, where arrows indicate physical addresses: * * cr3 ---> +---------+ * | --------->+---------+ * | | | PADDR1 | * Mid-level | | PADDR2 | * (PMD) page | | | * | | Lower-level | * | | (PTE) page | * | | | | * .... .... * * So to convert a virtual address to a physical address, we look up the top * level, which points us to the second level, which gives us the physical * address of that page. If the top level entry was not present, or the second * level entry was not present, then the virtual address is invalid (we * say "the page was not mapped"). * * Put another way, a 32-bit virtual address is divided up like so: * * 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 * |<---- 10 bits ---->|<---- 10 bits ---->|<------ 12 bits ------>| * Index into top Index into second Offset within page * page directory page pagetable page * * Now, unfortunately, this isn't the whole story: Intel added Physical Address * Extension (PAE) to allow 32 bit systems to use 64GB of memory (ie. 36 bits). * These are held in 64-bit page table entries, so we can now only fit 512 * entries in a page, and the neat three-level tree breaks down. * * The result is a four level page table: * * cr3 --> [ 4 Upper ] * [ Level ] * [ Entries ] * [(PUD Page)]---> +---------+ * | --------->+---------+ * | | | PADDR1 | * Mid-level | | PADDR2 | * (PMD) page | | | * | | Lower-level | * | | (PTE) page | * | | | | * .... .... * * * And the virtual address is decoded as: * * 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 * |<-2->|<--- 9 bits ---->|<---- 9 bits --->|<------ 12 bits ------>| * Index into Index into mid Index into lower Offset within page * top entries directory page pagetable page * * It's too hard to switch between these two formats at runtime, so Linux only * supports one or the other depending on whether CONFIG_X86_PAE is set.
