Hi,
I am trying to update pagetable entries through the interface provided
by libxc, but for now I'm far from successful. As simple demonstration
(see code below) I tried to update the first entry in a L2-table
(x86-processor without PAE and PSE enabled) with same value that is
found in this table.
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <xenctrl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <xen/xen.h>
static bool update_pagetable_entry(int xc_handle, uint32_t domid,
unsigned long pte_ma, unsigned long ma)
{
assert(pte_ma % 4 == 0);
xc_mmu_t *mmu = xc_init_mmu_updates(xc_handle, domid);
if (xc_add_mmu_update(xc_handle, mmu,
pte_ma | MMU_NORMAL_PT_UPDATE, ma) == -1)
return false;
if (xc_finish_mmu_updates(xc_handle, mmu) == -1)
return false;
return true;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (argc < 2)
return 1;
uint32_t domid = (uint32_t) strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 10);
int xc_handle = xc_interface_open();
assert(xc_handle != -1 && domid != 0);
vcpu_guest_context_t ctxt;
xc_vcpu_getcontext(xc_handle, domid, 0, &ctxt);
unsigned long cr3_ma = ctxt.ctrlreg[3];
unsigned long *l2_table = xc_map_foreign_range(xc_handle, domid,
XC_PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ, cr3_ma >> XC_PAGE_SHIFT);
assert(l2_table != NULL);
if (!update_pagetable_entry(xc_handle, domid, cr3_ma, l2_table[0]))
fprintf(stderr, "update failed\n");
munmap(l2_table, XC_PAGE_SIZE);
xc_interface_close(xc_handle);
return 0;
}
The function update_pagetable_entry always fails. The output of the
program is "ERROR Internal error: Failure when submitting mmu updates"
and "xm dmesg" tells me the following:
(XEN) [...]/xen/include/asm/mm.h:184:d0 Error pfn 31971: rd=ffbf0100,
od=ffbd8100, caf=80000005, taf=58000002
(XEN) mm.c:500:d0 Could not get page ref for pfn 31971
(XEN) mm.c:2319:d0 Could not get page for normal update
Where pfn 31971 is the frame number of the pagetable which I tried to
update. (I use Xen-unstable from 04/04/2007)
What I am doing wrong or what I am missing? All suggestions are
appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
