Re: [Xen-devel] How does hypervisor handle the hypercalls from guest OSe
for a new hypercall here are the files you need to change:
1. define a hypercall number + params in
xen/include/hypervisor-ifs/hypervisor-if.h or similar
2. add an entry corresponding to the hypercall number in the
hypervisor_call_table in xen/arch/i386/entry.S
3. implement the hypercall in xen (function as in entry.S)
4. provide an assempbly stub in XenoLinux for your hypercall like in:
xenolinux-2.4.26-sparse/include/asm-xen/hypervisor.h
then you can use the function name you use in hypervisor.h in XenoLinux.
alternatively you piggy-back your hypercall onto an existing one, if it
matches the function of that hypercall. quite a few hypercalls already
multiplex multiple related functions onto on hypercall.
