Subject: [PATCH 2/4] xen/lowlevel: Implement pvop call for load_idt (sidt).
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:49:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1350481786-4969-3-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1350481786-4969-1-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

In the past it used to point to 'sidt' (native_store_idt) operation
which is a non-privileged operation. This resulted in the
'struct desc_ptr' value containing the address of Xen's IDT table,
instead of the IDT table that Linux thinks its using. The end result
is that doing:

  store_idt(&desc);
  load_idt(&desc);

would blow up b/c xen_load_idt would try to parse the IDT contents
(desc) and de-reference a virtual address that is outside Linux's
__va (it is in Xen's virtual address).

With this patch we are providing the last written IDT address.
