lguest: tidy up documentation

[linux-2.6] / arch / x86 / lguest / boot.c

/*P:010
 * A hypervisor allows multiple Operating Systems to run on a single machine.
 * To quote David Wheeler: "Any problem in computer science can be solved with
 * another layer of indirection."
 *
 * We keep things simple in two ways.  First, we start with a normal Linux
 * kernel and insert a module (lg.ko) which allows us to run other Linux
 * kernels the same way we'd run processes.  We call the first kernel the Host,
 * and the others the Guests.  The program which sets up and configures Guests
 * (such as the example in Documentation/lguest/lguest.c) is called the
 * Launcher.
 *
 * Secondly, we only run specially modified Guests, not normal kernels.  When
 * you set CONFIG_LGUEST to 'y' or 'm', this automatically sets
 * CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST=y, which compiles this file into the kernel so it knows
 * how to be a Guest.  This means that you can use the same kernel you boot
 * normally (ie. as a Host) as a Guest.
 *
 * These Guests know that they cannot do privileged operations, such as disable
 * interrupts, and that they have to ask the Host to do such things explicitly.
 * This file consists of all the replacements for such low-level native
 * hardware operations: these special Guest versions call the Host.
 *
 * So how does the kernel know it's a Guest?  The Guest starts at a special
 * entry point marked with a magic string, which sets up a few things then
 * calls here.  We replace the native functions various "paravirt" structures
 * with our Guest versions, then boot like normal. :*/

/*
 * Page Table Handling.
 *
 * Now would be a good time to take a rest and grab a coffee or similarly
 * relaxing stimulant.  The easy parts are behind us, and the trek gradually
 * winds uphill from here.
 *
 * Quick refresher: memory is divided into "pages" of 4096 bytes each.  The CPU
 * maps virtual addresses to physical addresses using "page tables".  We could
 * use one huge index of 1 million entries: each address is 4 bytes, so that's
 * 1024 pages just to hold the page tables.   But since most virtual addresses
 * are unused, we use a two level index which saves space.  The cr3 register
 * contains the physical address of the top level "page directory" page, which
 * contains physical addresses of up to 1024 second-level pages.  Each of these
 * second level pages contains up to 1024 physical addresses of actual pages,
 * or Page Table Entries (PTEs).
 *
 * Here's a diagram, where arrows indicate physical addresses:
 *
 * cr3 ---> +---------+
 *          |      --------->+---------+
 *          |         |      | PADDR1  |
 *        Top-level   |      | PADDR2  |
 *        (PMD) page  |      |         |
 *          |         |    Lower-level |
 *          |         |    (PTE) page  |
 *          |         |      |         |
 *            ....               ....
 *
 * So to convert a virtual address to a physical address, we look up the top
 * level, which points us to the second level, which gives us the physical
 * address of that page.  If the top level entry was not present, or the second
 * level entry was not present, then the virtual address is invalid (we
 * say "the page was not mapped").
 *
 * Put another way, a 32-bit virtual address is divided up like so:
 *
 *  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
 * |<---- 10 bits ---->|<---- 10 bits ---->|<------ 12 bits ------>|
 *    Index into top     Index into second      Offset within page
 *  page directory page    pagetable page
 *
 * The kernel spends a lot of time changing both the top-level page directory
 * and lower-level pagetable pages.  The Guest doesn't know physical addresses,
 * so while it maintains these page tables exactly like normal, it also needs
 * to keep the Host informed whenever it makes a change: the Host will create
 * the real page tables based on the Guests'.

 * patch the four most commonly called functions: disable interrupts, enable
 * interrupts, restore interrupts and save interrupts.  We usually have 6 or 10
