Re: [Xen-devel] Suspend or kill a syscall in hypervisor

I've made a patch that intercept some type of (malicious) hypercall and syscall of domU in the hypervisor, 

and handle the log in the dom0.

How can i suspend or kill a certain syscall (or hypercall) on a vcpu? 

The easy way is to suspend the virtual machine, but i think it's unnecessary.

To block the instruction, i think i've to clear vcpu register and skip  to the next instruction, or set failure result in a register.

To stop the execution of the process i've to call a function in traps.c i think near line 400. 

This function will wait for a value to be 1. 

Which is the best way to implement a semaphore at this level?
