/*P:900
 * This is the Switcher: code which sits at 0xFFC00000 (or 0xFFE00000) astride
 * both the Host and Guest to do the low-level Guest<->Host switch.  It is as
 * simple as it can be made, but it's naturally very specific to x86.
 *
 * You have now completed Preparation.  If this has whet your appetite; if you
 * are feeling invigorated and refreshed then the next, more challenging stage
 * can be found in "make Guest".
 :*/

/*M:012
 * Lguest is meant to be simple: my rule of thumb is that 1% more LOC must
 * gain at least 1% more performance.  Since neither LOC nor performance can be
 * measured beforehand, it generally means implementing a feature then deciding
 * if it's worth it.  And once it's implemented, who can say no?
 *
 * This is why I haven't implemented this idea myself.  I want to, but I
 * haven't.  You could, though.
 *
 * The main place where lguest performance sucks is Guest page faulting.  When
 * a Guest userspace process hits an unmapped page we switch back to the Host,
 * walk the page tables, find it's not mapped, switch back to the Guest page
 * fault handler, which calls a hypercall to set the page table entry, then
 * finally returns to userspace.  That's two round-trips.
 *
 * If we had a small walker in the Switcher, we could quickly check the Guest
 * page table and if the page isn't mapped, immediately reflect the fault back
 * into the Guest.  This means the Switcher would have to know the top of the
 * Guest page table and the page fault handler address.
 *
 * For simplicity, the Guest should only handle the case where the privilege
 * level of the fault is 3 and probably only not present or write faults.  It
 * should also detect recursive faults, and hand the original fault to the
 * Host (which is actually really easy).
 *
 * Two questions remain.  Would the performance gain outweigh the complexity?
 * And who would write the verse documenting it?
:*/

/*M:011
 * Lguest64 handles NMI.  This gave me NMI envy (until I looked at their
 * code).  It's worth doing though, since it would let us use oprofile in the
 * Host when a Guest is running.
:*/

/*S:100
 * Welcome to the Switcher itself!
 *
 * This file contains the low-level code which changes the CPU to run the Guest
 * code, and returns to the Host when something happens.  Understand this, and
 * you understand the heart of our journey.
 *
 * Because this is in assembler rather than C, our tale switches from prose to
 * verse.  First I tried limericks:
 *
 *      There once was an eax reg,
 *      To which our pointer was fed,
 *      It needed an add,
 *      Which asm-offsets.h had
 *      But this limerick is hurting my head.
 *
 * Next I tried haikus, but fitting the required reference to the seasons in
 * every stanza was quickly becoming tiresome:
 *
 *      The %eax reg
 *      Holds "struct lguest_pages" now:
 *      Cherry blossoms fall.
 *
 * Then I started with Heroic Verse, but the rhyming requirement leeched away
 * the content density and led to some uniquely awful oblique rhymes:
 *
 *      These constants are coming from struct offsets
 *      For use within the asm switcher text.
 *
 * Finally, I settled for something between heroic hexameter, and normal prose
 * with inappropriate linebreaks.  Anyway, it aint no Shakespeare.
