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/virtual/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.

575 * Page Table Handling.
577 * Now would be a good time to take a rest and grab a coffee or similarly
578 * relaxing stimulant. The easy parts are behind us, and the trek gradually
579 * winds uphill from here.
581 * Quick refresher: memory is divided into "pages" of 4096 bytes each. The CPU
582 * maps virtual addresses to physical addresses using "page tables". We could
583 * use one huge index of 1 million entries: each address is 4 bytes, so that's
584 * 1024 pages just to hold the page tables. But since most virtual addresses
585 * are unused, we use a two level index which saves space. The cr3 register
586 * contains the physical address of the top level "page directory" page, which
587 * contains physical addresses of up to 1024 second-level pages. Each of these
588 * second level pages contains up to 1024 physical addresses of actual pages,
589 * or Page Table Entries (PTEs).
591 * Here's a diagram, where arrows indicate physical addresses:
593 * cr3 ---> +---------+
594 * | --------->+---------+
596 * Mid-level | | PADDR2 |
603 * So to convert a virtual address to a physical address, we look up the top
604 * level, which points us to the second level, which gives us the physical
605 * address of that page. If the top level entry was not present, or the second
606 * level entry was not present, then the virtual address is invalid (we
607 * say "the page was not mapped").
609 * Put another way, a 32-bit virtual address is divided up like so:
611 * 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
612 * |<---- 10 bits ---->|<---- 10 bits ---->|<------ 12 bits ------>|
613 * Index into top Index into second Offset within page
614 * page directory page pagetable page
616 * Now, unfortunately, this isn't the whole story: Intel added Physical Address
617 * Extension (PAE) to allow 32 bit systems to use 64GB of memory (ie. 36 bits).
618 * These are held in 64-bit page table entries, so we can now only fit 512
619 * entries in a page, and the neat three-level tree breaks down.
621 * The result is a four level page table:
623 * cr3 --> [ 4 Upper ]
626 * [(PUD Page)]---> +---------+
627 * | --------->+---------+
629 * Mid-level | | PADDR2 |
637 * And the virtual address is decoded as:
639 * 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
640 * |<-2->|<--- 9 bits ---->|<---- 9 bits --->|<------ 12 bits ------>|
641 * Index into Index into mid Index into lower Offset within page
642 * top entries directory page pagetable page
644 * It's too hard to switch between these two formats at runtime, so Linux only
645 * supports one or the other depending on whether CONFIG_X86_PAE is set. Many
