[PATCH 11/35] KVM: Xen PV-on-HVM guest support

Avi Kivity

From: Ed Swierk <eswierk@aristanetworks.com>

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.

+Sets the MSR that the Xen HVM guest uses to initialize its hypercall
+page, and provides the starting address and size of the hypercall
+blobs in userspace. When the guest writes the MSR, kvm copies one
+page of a blob (32- or 64-bit, depending on the vcpu mode) to guest
+memory.
