Subject: [PATCH] Xen PV-on-HVM guest support (v2)
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:41:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1255585318.12773.14.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
hypercall blob into guest address space.

A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future.  Thus this patch
adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.

I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
userspace has loaded from files.  When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.

I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

v2: fix ioctl struct padding; renumber CAP and ioctl constants; check
kvm_write_guest() return value; change printks to KERN_DEBUG (I think
they're worth keeping for debugging userspace)
