yeah. Right now i have:
patches/kvm-paravirt-host.patch
patches/kvm-paravirt-guest.patch
patches/kvm-paravirt-hypercall-host.patch
patches/kvm-paravirt-hypercall-guest.patch
patches/kvm-paravirt-cr3-cache.patch
this builds and boots fine on VMX, and a test-hypercall is successfully
issued. I've attached a tarball of them.
i've changed the details you mentioned (printk loglevels, etc.), and
some other detail as well: the ->patch_hypercall() thing now patches in
the 'ret' instruction as well. This allowed me to add a -ENOSYS default
entry there, to have defined error behavior in case the hypervisor does
not patch things.
NOTE: i have not updated the cr3 patch to the hypercall API yet (hence
the aliasing bug is not fixed yet), i wanted to get this to you so that
we can think about the hypercall API.
Right now what i have is only good to test that the VMCALL instruction
works - but the API must look differently. I'd prefer a register-based
thing so that i can embedd hypercalls within Linux without having to go
to a wrapper function. Right now a "call hypercall_addr" is a
regparm-based function entry. I'd like to keep that - but not have a
fixed number of parameters but inlines/macros for all parameter
combinations: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 param, picked up automatically via use. I.e.
a 2-param call would be:
hypercall(KVM_cr3_miss, cr3);
a 3-param call would be:
hypercall(KVM_api_call1, param1, param2);
a 1-param call would be:
hypercall(KVM_api_call2);
Does this look good to you? I'd like the basic API to be as light as
possible.
