31 * Prototype for this hypercall is:
32 * int vcpu_op(int cmd, int vcpuid, void *extra_args)
33 * @cmd == VCPUOP_??? (VCPU operation).
34 * @vcpuid == VCPU to operate on.
35 * @extra_args == Operation-specific extra arguments (NULL if none).
39 * Initialise a VCPU. Each VCPU can be initialised only once. A
40 * newly-initialised VCPU will not run until it is brought up by VCPUOP_up.
42 * @extra_arg == pointer to vcpu_guest_context structure containing initial
43 * state for the VCPU.
45 #define VCPUOP_initialise 0
48 * Bring up a VCPU. This makes the VCPU runnable. This operation will fail
49 * if the VCPU has not been initialised (VCPUOP_initialise).
51 #define VCPUOP_up 1
54 * Bring down a VCPU (i.e., make it non-runnable).
55 * There are a few caveats that callers should observe:
56 * 1. This operation may return, and VCPU_is_up may return false, before the
57 * VCPU stops running (i.e., the command is asynchronous). It is a good
58 * idea to ensure that the VCPU has entered a non-critical loop before
59 * bringing it down. Alternatively, this operation is guaranteed
60 * synchronous if invoked by the VCPU itself.
61 * 2. After a VCPU is initialised, there is currently no way to drop all its
62 * references to domain memory. Even a VCPU that is down still holds
63 * memory references via its pagetable base pointer and GDT. It is good
64 * practise to move a VCPU onto an 'idle' or default page table, LDT and
65 * GDT before bringing it down.

69 /* Returns 1 if the given VCPU is up. */

73 * Return information about the state and running time of a VCPU.

100 * VCPU is not runnable, but it is not blocked.
101 * This is a 'catch all' state for things like hotplug and pauses by the
102 * system administrator (or for critical sections in the hypervisor).
103 * RUNSTATE_blocked dominates this state (it is the preferred state).

108 * Register a shared memory area from which the guest may obtain its own
109 * runstate information without needing to execute a hypercall.
110 * Notes:
111 * 1. The registered address may be virtual or physical, depending on the
112 * platform. The virtual address should be registered on x86 systems.
113 * 2. Only one shared area may be registered per VCPU. The shared area is
114 * updated by the hypervisor each time the VCPU is scheduled. Thus
115 * runstate.state will always be RUNSTATE_running and
116 * runstate.state_entry_time will indicate the system time at which the
117 * VCPU was last scheduled to run.
