* Our story starts with the kernel booting into startup_32 in
|
2008-03-28 12:05:53 -04:00
|
|
|
* arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S. It expects a boot header, which is created by
|
|
|
|
* the bootloader (the Launcher in our case).
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The startup_32 function does very little: it clears the uninitialized global
|
|
|
|
* C variables which we expect to be zero (ie. BSS) and then copies the boot
|
|
|
|
* header and kernel command line somewhere safe. Finally it checks the
|
|
|
|
* 'hardware_subarch' field. This was introduced in 2.6.24 for lguest and Xen:
|
|
|
|
* if it's set to '1' (lguest's assigned number), then it calls us here.

lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.
But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.
The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.
But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.
The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

|
* The "iret" instruction is used to return from an interrupt or trap. The
|
|
|
|
* stack looks like this:
|
|
|
|
* old address
|
|
|
|
* old code segment & privilege level
|
|
|
|
* old processor flags ("eflags")
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The "iret" instruction pops those values off the stack and restores them all
|
|
|
|
* at once. The only problem is that eflags includes the Interrupt Flag which
|
|
|
|
* the Guest can't change: the CPU will simply ignore it when we do an "iret".
|
|
|
|
* So we have to copy eflags from the stack to lguest_data.irq_enabled before
|
|
|
|
* we do the "iret".
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* There are two problems with this: firstly, we need to use a register to do
|
|
|
|
* the copy and secondly, the whole thing needs to be atomic. The first
|
|
|
|
* problem is easy to solve: push %eax on the stack so we can use it, and then
|
|
|
|
* restore it at the end just before the real "iret".
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The second is harder: copying eflags to lguest_data.irq_enabled will turn
|
|
|
|
* interrupts on before we're finished, so we could be interrupted before we
|
|
|
|
* return to userspace or wherever. Our solution to this is to surround the
|
|
|
|
* code with lguest_noirq_start: and lguest_noirq_end: labels. We tell the
|
|
|
|
* Host that it is *never* to interrupt us there, even if interrupts seem to be
|
2009-07-30 18:03:45 -04:00
