答复: [Xen-devel] About TSS initialization when Xen booting.

[李亚琼 <liyaq04@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Xin!

But __context_switch will be invoked only when system is scheduled. During the initialization, Xen invokes percpu_traps_init and cpu_init to initialize a physical cpu. In this two functions, tss will be assigned with a value from guest_cpu_user_regs. But till this time, __context_switch has never been invoked. In other words, idle_domain’s tss is assigned with a trivial value. After all, when Xen is in the idle domain, a stack switch will occur when a interrupt occurs. Is it correct?

Another question is about percpu_traps_init whick code is following:

void __init percpu_traps_init(void)

{

char *stack_bottom, *stack;

.

.

.

    stack_bottom = (char *)get_stack_bottom();

    stack        = (char *)((unsigned long)stack_bottom & ~(STACK_SIZE - 1));

 

    /* Double-fault handler has its own per-CPU 2kB stack. */

    init_tss[cpu].ist[0] = (unsigned long)&stack[2048];

 

    /* NMI handler has its own per-CPU 1kB stack. */

    init_tss[cpu].ist[1] = (unsigned long)&stack[3072];

 

    /*

     * Trampoline for SYSCALL entry from long mode.

     */

 

    /* Skip the NMI and DF stacks. */

    stack = &stack[3072];

    wrmsr(MSR_LSTAR, (unsigned long)stack, ((unsigned long)stack>>32));

 

    /* movq %rsp, saversp(%rip) */

    stack[0] = 0x48;

    stack[1] = 0x89;

    stack[2] = 0x25;

*(u32 *)&stack[3] = (stack_bottom - &stack[7]) - 16;

.

.

.

}

The question is about the variables,  “stack”  and “stack_bottom”. At this moment, if guest_cpu_user_regs has not been initialized, “stack_bottom” will be zero when the cpu is the first physical cpu ( its stack is initialized with zero in file boot.S). And then “stack” will be zero, too. Is it correct?

In __context_switch, there is a memcpy to do this job.

Hi,

         I have a doubt on the Tss initialization. In the function cpu_init(),t->rsp0 = get_stack_bottom().

#define get_stack_bottom()                      \

           ((unsigned long)&get_cpu_info()->guest_cpu_user_regs.es)

         But I can’t find where the guest_cpu_user_regs has been initialized. Anybody can help me?
