Zach had an alternate patch for this, which didn't assume the kernel ran
in a compile-time known ring, but is otherwise very similar. I've put
it below for discussion (but Zach now tells me the asm parts are not
required: Zach, can you mod this patch and comment?).
Your patch #16 finishes the job you started here, by doing the mods to
entry.S. I think it's cleaner to have all this in one patch (and it can
go in almost immediately AFAICT).
Comments?
Rusty.
Name: Kernel Ring Cleanups
Status: Booted on 2.6.18-rc1
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au>
This is Zach's patch to clean up assumptions about the kernel running
in ring 0 (which it doesn't when running paravirtualized).
1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3
2) Add a get_kernel_rpl() function
3) Create COMPARE_SEGMENT_STACK and COMPARE_SEGMENT_REG macros which
can mask out the bottom two bits (RPL) when comparing for
paravirtualization.
