On 21 Apr 2006, at 19:13, Steve Ofsthun wrote: With these changes you can make raw hypercalls from HVM guests. You probably want a separate hypercall table from that of paravirtualized guests, for several reasons: 1. Some hypercalls will not be HVM aware and are probably unsafe to run from an HVM context 2. Some hypercalls may want different implementations (or at least a wrapper) on HVM 3. On 64-bit, you may even want a separate 32-bit hypercall table containing wrappers that interface between 32-bit callers and the core 64-bit hypercall functions. (1) is most important right now -- we should only permit the hypercalls we need, and audit any others before they are added to the list. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
