23 * We hold reference to pages, which prevents them from being swapped.
24 * It'd be nice to have a callback in the "struct mm_struct" when Linux wants
25 * to swap out. If we had this, and a shrinker callback to trim PTE pages, we
26 * could probably consider launching Guests as non-root.
32 * We use two-level page tables for the Guest, or three-level with PAE. If
33 * you're not entirely comfortable with virtual addresses, physical addresses
34 * and page tables then I recommend you review arch/x86/lguest/boot.c's "Page
35 * Table Handling" (with diagrams!).
37 * The Guest keeps page tables, but we maintain the actual ones here: these are
38 * called "shadow" page tables. Which is a very Guest-centric name: these are
39 * the real page tables the CPU uses, although we keep them up to date to
40 * reflect the Guest's. (See what I mean about weird naming? Since when do
41 * shadows reflect anything?)
43 * Anyway, this is the most complicated part of the Host code. There are seven
45 * (i) Looking up a page table entry when the Guest faults,
46 * (ii) Making sure the Guest stack is mapped,
47 * (iii) Setting up a page table entry when the Guest tells us one has changed,
48 * (iv) Switching page tables,
49 * (v) Flushing (throwing away) page tables,
50 * (vi) Mapping the Switcher when the Guest is about to run,
51 * (vii) Setting up the page tables initially.
55 * The Switcher uses the complete top PTE page. That's 1024 PTE entries (4MB)
56 * or 512 PTE entries with PAE (2MB).
58 #define SWITCHER_PGD_INDEX (PTRS_PER_PGD - 1)
61 * For PAE we need the PMD index as well. We use the last 2MB, so we

818 * Since we throw away all mappings when a kernel mapping changes, our

820 * PAGE_OFFSET 0xc0000000 (the default) and more than about 700MB of RAM is
821 * usually slower than a Guest with less memory.

829 * "idx"'th shadow page table.
831 * Normally, we can just throw out the old entry and replace it with 0: if they
832 * use it demand_page() will put the new entry in. We need to do this anyway:
833 * The Guest expects _PAGE_ACCESSED to be set on its PTE the first time a page
834 * is read from, and _PAGE_DIRTY when it's written to.
836 * But Avi Kivity pointed out that most Operating Systems (Linux included) set
837 * these bits on PTEs immediately anyway. This is done to save the CPU from
838 * having to update them, but it helps us the same way: if they set
839 * _PAGE_ACCESSED then we can put a read-only PTE entry in immediately, and if
840 * they set _PAGE_DIRTY then we can put a writable PTE entry in immediately.
