Took some cycles to re-read the Lguest Journey end-to-end, fix some rot and tighten some phrases. Only comments change. No new jokes, but a couple of recycled old jokes. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

/*G:020 Our story starts with the kernel booting into startup_32 in
|
|
* arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S. It expects a boot header, which is created by
|
|
* the bootloader (the Launcher in our case).
|
|
*
|
|
* The startup_32 function does very little: it clears the uninitialized global
|
|
* C variables which we expect to be zero (ie. BSS) and then copies the boot
|
|
* header and kernel command line somewhere safe. Finally it checks the
|
|
* 'hardware_subarch' field. This was introduced in 2.6.24 for lguest and Xen:
|
|
* if it's set to '1' (lguest's assigned number), then it calls us here.
|
|
*
|
|
* WARNING: be very careful here! We're running at addresses equal to physical
|
|
* addesses (around 0), not above PAGE_OFFSET as most code expectes
|
|
* (eg. 0xC0000000). Jumps are relative, so they're OK, but we can't touch any
|
|
* data without remembering to subtract __PAGE_OFFSET!
|
|
*
|
|
* The .section line puts this code in .init.text so it will be discarded after
|

|
|
* such as system calls, the processor is the one to push eflags onto the
|
|
* stack, and the interrupt bit will be 1 (in reality, interrupts are always
|
|
* enabled in the Guest).
|
|
*
|
|
* This turns out to be harmless: the only trap which should happen under Linux
|
|
* with interrupts disabled is Page Fault (due to our lazy mapping of vmalloc
|
|
* regions), which has to be reflected through the Host anyway. If another
|
|
* trap *does* go off when interrupts are disabled, the Guest will panic, and

/*G:045 There is one final paravirt_op that the Guest implements, and glancing
|
|
* at it you can see why I left it to last. It's *cool*! It's in *assembler*!
|
|
*
|
|
* The "iret" instruction is used to return from an interrupt or trap. The
|
|
* stack looks like this:
|
|
* old address
|
|
* old code segment & privilege level
|
|
* old processor flags ("eflags")
|
|
*
|
|
* The "iret" instruction pops those values off the stack and restores them all
|
|
* at once. The only problem is that eflags includes the Interrupt Flag which
|
|
* the Guest can't change: the CPU will simply ignore it when we do an "iret".
|
|
* So we have to copy eflags from the stack to lguest_data.irq_enabled before
|
|
* we do the "iret".
|
|
*
|
|
* There are two problems with this: firstly, we need to use a register to do
|
|
* the copy and secondly, the whole thing needs to be atomic. The first
|
|
* problem is easy to solve: push %eax on the stack so we can use it, and then
|
|
* restore it at the end just before the real "iret".
|
|
*
|
|
* The second is harder: copying eflags to lguest_data.irq_enabled will turn
|
|
* interrupts on before we're finished, so we could be interrupted before we
|
|
* return to userspace or wherever. Our solution to this is to surround the
|
|
* code with lguest_noirq_start: and lguest_noirq_end: labels. We tell the
|
|
* Host that it is *never* to interrupt us there, even if interrupts seem to be
|
|
* enabled. */
