/*P:010
* A hypervisor allows multiple Operating Systems to run on a single machine.
* To quote David Wheeler: "Any problem in computer science can be solved with
* another layer of indirection."
*
* We keep things simple in two ways. First, we start with a normal Linux
* kernel and insert a module (lg.ko) which allows us to run other Linux
* kernels the same way we'd run processes. We call the first kernel the Host,
* and the others the Guests. The program which sets up and configures Guests
* (such as the example in tools/lguest/lguest.c) is called the Launcher.
*
* Secondly, we only run specially modified Guests, not normal kernels: setting
* CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST to "y" compiles this file into the kernel so it knows
* how to be a Guest at boot time. This means that you can use the same kernel
* you boot normally (ie. as a Host) as a Guest.
*
* These Guests know that they cannot do privileged operations, such as disable
* interrupts, and that they have to ask the Host to do such things explicitly.
* This file consists of all the replacements for such low-level native
* hardware operations: these special Guest versions call the Host.
*
* So how does the kernel know it's a Guest? We'll see that later, but let's
* just say that we end up here where we replace the native functions various
* "paravirt" structures with our Guest versions, then boot like normal.

* Page Table Handling.
*
* Now would be a good time to take a rest and grab a coffee or similarly
* relaxing stimulant. The easy parts are behind us, and the trek gradually
* winds uphill from here.
*
* Quick refresher: memory is divided into "pages" of 4096 bytes each. The CPU
* maps virtual addresses to physical addresses using "page tables". We could
* use one huge index of 1 million entries: each address is 4 bytes, so that's
* 1024 pages just to hold the page tables. But since most virtual addresses
* are unused, we use a two level index which saves space. The cr3 register
* contains the physical address of the top level "page directory" page, which
* contains physical addresses of up to 1024 second-level pages. Each of these
* second level pages contains up to 1024 physical addresses of actual pages,
* or Page Table Entries (PTEs).
*
* Here's a diagram, where arrows indicate physical addresses:
*
* cr3 ---> +---------+
* | --------->+---------+
* | | | PADDR1 |
* Mid-level | | PADDR2 |
* (PMD) page | | |
* | | Lower-level |
* | | (PTE) page |
* | | | |
* .... ....
*
* So to convert a virtual address to a physical address, we look up the top
* level, which points us to the second level, which gives us the physical
* address of that page. If the top level entry was not present, or the second
* level entry was not present, then the virtual address is invalid (we
* say "the page was not mapped").
*
* Put another way, a 32-bit virtual address is divided up like so:
*
* 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
* |<---- 10 bits ---->|<---- 10 bits ---->|<------ 12 bits ------>|
* Index into top Index into second Offset within page
* page directory page pagetable page
*
* Now, unfortunately, this isn't the whole story: Intel added Physical Address
* Extension (PAE) to allow 32 bit systems to use 64GB of memory (ie. 36 bits).
* These are held in 64-bit page table entries, so we can now only fit 512
* entries in a page, and the neat three-level tree breaks down.
*
* The result is a four level page table:
*
* cr3 --> [ 4 Upper ]
* [ Level ]
* [ Entries ]
