Re: [Xen-devel] Tracking changes to writable page tables

It looks like xenlinux 2.6 now uses writable page tables by

I need to track writes to page tables, and I was wondering if
it is possible to get a page fault upon writes to read-only
mapped page tables, as when writing to other read-only mappings?
Hmm, I can see that the current model makes like difficult for you
(though self-migration is a pretty twisted thing to be trying to do
anyway :-)
Hmm while we are discussing twisted things; would it be possible to
implement writable page tables in the guest rather than in Xen?
The guest would then take the fault, unpin and decouple the page table
from the page directory, change the protection, and do the reverse when
the page table is next used.
I suppose that would be a (somewhat radical) solution to my problem.
