Re: [Xen-devel] domain_pause and vcpu_pause on currently executing domai

We're using basically the exact same functionality, with a
pause/unpause "counter" rather than a bit, with our execution replay
system. In our current implementation, there are a number of
different threads of the replay system, each doing a small set of
things: one is delivering interrupts, doing scheduling, etc.; but we
have separate threads called "replay drivers" which sit between the
replaying domain and the thing they're talking to. All of these
competeing interests want to pause and unpause the domain, and having
just a bit isn't enough.
But I'd naturally rather use mainline xen functionality, than maintain
my own copy, if I can.
{domain,vcpu}_pause are based on a counter, not a bit. These are what
you can call from within Xen, so if that is where you are implementing
stuff you shouldn't need your own functions.
domain_pause_by_systemcontroller(), which is what is accessible from
outside Xen itself, is based on a single bit.
