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
13 * Secondly, we only run specially modified Guests, not normal kernels: setting
14 * CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST to "y" compiles this file into the kernel so it knows
15 * how to be a Guest at boot time. This means that you can use the same kernel
16 * you boot normally (ie. as a Host) as a Guest.
18 * These Guests know that they cannot do privileged operations, such as disable
19 * interrupts, and that they have to ask the Host to do such things explicitly.
20 * This file consists of all the replacements for such low-level native
21 * hardware operations: these special Guest versions call the Host.
23 * So how does the kernel know it's a Guest? We'll see that later, but let's
24 * just say that we end up here where we replace the native functions various
25 * "paravirt" structures with our Guest versions, then boot like normal. :*/

464 * Now would be a good time to take a rest and grab a coffee or similarly

466 * winds uphill from here.
468 * Quick refresher: memory is divided into "pages" of 4096 bytes each. The CPU
469 * maps virtual addresses to physical addresses using "page tables". We could
470 * use one huge index of 1 million entries: each address is 4 bytes, so that's
471 * 1024 pages just to hold the page tables. But since most virtual addresses
472 * are unused, we use a two level index which saves space. The cr3 register
473 * contains the physical address of the top level "page directory" page, which
474 * contains physical addresses of up to 1024 second-level pages. Each of these
475 * second level pages contains up to 1024 physical addresses of actual pages,
476 * or Page Table Entries (PTEs).
478 * Here's a diagram, where arrows indicate physical addresses:
480 * cr3 ---> +---------+
481 * | --------->+---------+
483 * Top-level | | PADDR2 |
490 * So to convert a virtual address to a physical address, we look up the top
491 * level, which points us to the second level, which gives us the physical
492 * address of that page. If the top level entry was not present, or the second
493 * level entry was not present, then the virtual address is invalid (we
494 * say "the page was not mapped").
496 * Put another way, a 32-bit virtual address is divided up like so:
498 * 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
