/*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 various "paravirt" structures * with our Guest versions, then boot like normal. :*/ /* * Copyright (C) 2006, Rusty Russell IBM Corporation. * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but * WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, GOOD TITLE or * NON INFRINGEMENT.
