The public header file does suggest that all of vm_event_regs_x86 will be complete. Are there any other fields currently missing? Given the overhead of the vmexit and communication on the vm_event channel, a few extra cycles reading state is lost in the overhead. ~Andrew ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Are there any other fields currently missing? There are. p2m_vm_event_fill_regs() fills everything in (in xen/arch/x86/mm/p2m.c). hvm_event_fill_regs() still does not, even after Tamas' patch.

Yea, I would prefer if all registers would get filled in for all events so I'll just consolidate these two functions into one.

Right, but please be careful and test that you get correct values with all events (page fault events + the others), I remember that for some reason I needed to use different ways to get at the same values in p2m_vm_event_fill_regs() and hvm_event_fill_regs(). For example, p2m_vm_event_fill_regs() does: hvm_funcs.save_cpu_ctxt(curr, &ctxt); req->data.regs.x86.cr0 = ctxt.cr0; and hvm_event_fill_regs() does: req->data.regs.x86.cr0 = curr->arch.hvm_vcpu.guest_cr[0]; I don't remember exactly why I had to do that at the time, but I do recall it being necessary.
