In Xen source about Hypercall, there is a function called
do_memory_op(unsigned long cmd, XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(void) arg). What does
'XEN_GUEST_HANDLE‘ mean？ I search the source code and only find the macro.
I know it is a pointer to a structure containing an operation. But how does
it get its actual parameters?
Also, in 'do_memory_op()' there is a function called
memory_exchange(guest_handle_cast(arg, xen_memory_exchange_t)). What does
'guest_handle_cast' mean?
In a word, how does 'memory_exchange' get the actual memory address? Or how
does struct 'xen_memory_exchange_t' get assigned?
Thank you !!!
