Hi Keir,
You were right, I was missing the section __xen_guest.
So now when I create the domain I do not get any error message and I
do get a console.
So the 1st thing I am doing is just trying to write something on the
console with the hypervisor call "console_io". However, I do not see
anything on the console. In order to use the hypervisor calls, do I
have to first set up the trap tables, page tables and parse the shared
struct info etc ... ? Also, is it important where I load the image ?
Right now my lds script specifies "0xC0000000" as the starting
address. I also tried "0xC0000000 + 0x100000" which I saw in the linux
lds script.
My head.S file is very simple and I invoke the hypervisor calls by
issuing the interrupts directly:
#define ENTRY(X) .globl X ; X :
.section __xen_guest
.ascii"GUEST_OS=linux,GUEST_VER=2.6,XEN_VER=2.0,VIRT_BASE=0xC0000000"
.ascii ",LOADER=generic"
.ascii ",PT_MODE_WRITABLE"
.byte 0
.text
/*
* References to members of the new_cpu_data structure.
*/
.globl _start
_start:
cld
movl $18,%eax # __HYPERVISOR_console_io
movl $0, %ebx # arg1 = 0 for write
movl $hello_message_len,%ecx # arg2 = buffer length
movl $hello_message,%edx # arg3 = buffer virtual address
int $0x82
movl $6,%eax # __HYPERVISOR_sched_op
movl $2,%ebx # shutdown
int $0x82
hang: jmp hang # shouldn't get here
hello_message: .ascii "This is the hello world program\n"
hello_message_len = . - hello_message
Thanks
Richard
