/*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 in "struct paravirt_ops"
* with our Guest versions, then boot like normal. :*/

* flush the stored calls.
*
* There's also a hack where "mode" is set to "PARAVIRT_LAZY_FLUSH" which
* indicates we're to flush any outstanding calls immediately. This is used
* when an interrupt handler does a kmap_atomic(): the page table changes must
* happen immediately even if we're in the middle of a batch. Usually we're

* 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'.

* Patching (Powerfully Placating Performance Pedants)

* kernel, but it's slow because of all the indirect branches.
*
* Remember that David Wheeler quote about "Any problem in computer science can
* be solved with another layer of indirection"? The rest of that quote is
* "... But that usually will create another problem." This is the first of
* those problems.
*
* Our current solution is to allow the paravirt back end to optionally patch
* over the indirect calls to replace them with something more efficient. We
* patch the four most commonly called functions: disable interrupts, enable
* interrupts, restore interrupts and save interrupts. We usually have 10
* bytes to patch into: the Guest versions of these operations are small enough
* that we can fit comfortably.
