[PATCH 10/10] xen: use boot protocol to boot xen kernel
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Fri Jun 15 2007 - 10:52:46 EST
Boot a Xen kernel using the boot protocol. There are two parts to this:
1. Add Xen-specific notes to the bzImage's internal ELF file, so that
the Xen domain builder knows what to do with it. This is simply a
matter of adding a new notes-xen.S to the image. The notes depend
on the config options, but they contain no addresses, so there's no
concern about relocation, or references into the kernel image itself.
2. Do the early setup after booting, mainly to remap the kernel to
the proper virtual address. The kernel initially comes up with
a P=V 1:1 mapping. We need to copy the appropriate internal pagetable
pointers to get the kernel also mapped at __PAGE_OFFSET. In order
to simplify this process, we just keep the same pte pages, and only
update the pgd/pmd entries (depending on whether its PAE or not, and
whether the kernel and Xen want to share the same pgd slot).
A pre-requisite for updating the pagetables is setting up the
hypercall page in order to do hypercalls. Rather than using the
Xen Notes to set this up (which would require a relocatable
reference from the bzImage notes into the kernel), we use the Xen
reserved MSR to set the page address.
Once the kernel has been relocated, we update some of the pointers
in the start_info to kernel virtual addresses, and then jump to
xen_start_kernel() to do the rest of the setup before calling
start_kernel() proper.
