From ddc416cbc4e34f52bebca027de1c099bd30795f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mukesh Rathor Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:39:56 -0500 Subject: xen/pvh/x86: Define what an PVH guest is (v3). Which is a PV guest with auto page translation enabled and with vector callback. It is a cross between PVHVM and PV. The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt, with modifications): "* the guest uses auto translate: - p2m is managed by Xen - pagetables are owned by the guest - mmu_update hypercall not available * it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation, * IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest. For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting callback vector." Also we use the PV cpuid, albeit we can use the HVM (native) cpuid. However, we do have a fair bit of filtering in the xen_cpuid and we can piggyback on that until the hypervisor/toolstack filters the appropiate cpuids. Once that is done we can swap over to use the native one. We setup a Kconfig entry that is disabled by default and cannot be enabled. Note that on ARM the concept of PVH is non-existent. As Ian put it: "an ARM guest is neither PV nor HVM nor PVHVM. It's a bit like PVH but is different also (it's further towards the H end of the spectrum than even PVH).". As such these options (PVHVM, PVH) are never enabled nor seen on ARM compilations.
