2 * A hypervisor allows multiple Operating Systems to run on a single machine.
3 * To quote David Wheeler: "Any problem in computer science can be solved with
4 * another layer of indirection."
6 * We keep things simple in two ways. First, we start with a normal Linux
7 * kernel and insert a module (lg.ko) which allows us to run other Linux
8 * kernels the same way we'd run processes. We call the first kernel the Host,
9 * and the others the Guests. The program which sets up and configures Guests
10 * (such as the example in Documentation/lguest/lguest.c) is called the
11 * Launcher.
13 * Secondly, we only run specially modified Guests, not normal kernels. When
14 * you set CONFIG_LGUEST to 'y' or 'm', this automatically sets
15 * CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST=y, which compiles this file into the kernel so it knows
16 * how to be a Guest. This means that you can use the same kernel you boot
17 * normally (ie. as a Host) as a Guest.
19 * These Guests know that they cannot do privileged operations, such as disable
20 * interrupts, and that they have to ask the Host to do such things explicitly.
21 * This file consists of all the replacements for such low-level native
22 * hardware operations: these special Guest versions call the Host.
24 * So how does the kernel know it's a Guest? The Guest starts at a special
25 * entry point marked with a magic string, which sets up a few things then
26 * calls here. We replace the native functions various "paravirt" structures
27 * with our Guest versions, then boot like normal. :*/

420 * Now would be a good time to take a rest and grab a coffee or similarly
421 * relaxing stimulant. The easy parts are behind us, and the trek gradually
422 * winds uphill from here.
424 * Quick refresher: memory is divided into "pages" of 4096 bytes each. The CPU
425 * maps virtual addresses to physical addresses using "page tables". We could
426 * use one huge index of 1 million entries: each address is 4 bytes, so that's
427 * 1024 pages just to hold the page tables. But since most virtual addresses
428 * are unused, we use a two level index which saves space. The cr3 register
429 * contains the physical address of the top level "page directory" page, which
430 * contains physical addresses of up to 1024 second-level pages. Each of these
431 * second level pages contains up to 1024 physical addresses of actual pages,
432 * or Page Table Entries (PTEs).
434 * Here's a diagram, where arrows indicate physical addresses:
436 * cr3 ---> +---------+
437 * | --------->+---------+
438 * | | | PADDR1 |
439 * Top-level | | PADDR2 |
440 * (PMD) page | | |
441 * | | Lower-level |
442 * | | (PTE) page |
443 * | | | |
444 * .... ....
446 * So to convert a virtual address to a physical address, we look up the top
447 * level, which points us to the second level, which gives us the physical
448 * address of that page. If the top level entry was not present, or the second
449 * level entry was not present, then the virtual address is invalid (we
450 * say "the page was not mapped").
452 * Put another way, a 32-bit virtual address is divided up like so:
454 * 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
455 * |<---- 10 bits ---->|<---- 10 bits ---->|<------ 12 bits ------>|
456 * Index into top Index into second Offset within page
457 * page directory page pagetable page
459 * The kernel spends a lot of time changing both the top-level page directory
460 * and lower-level pagetable pages. The Guest doesn't know physical addresses,
461 * so while it maintains these page tables exactly like normal, it also needs
462 * to keep the Host informed whenever it makes a change: the Host will create
