[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [RFC, PATCH 11/24] i386 Vmi segment changes
Make the Linux kernel able to run at CPL 0, 1, or 2. There are a few
limited places where CPL-0 is assumed, and they can be converted very
efficiently into a supervisor CPL check instead of a CPL-0 check.
This step prepares the kernel for running in direct execution under
a hypervisor.
Note the user_mode_vm macro used in ptrace.h is very similar to the
flag mixing of EFLAGS and CS used to test in one branch in entry.S.
To make the COMPARE_SEGMENT_REG macro work, it must contain both the
push and the pop, requiring an additional load of EAX after the
possible stack fixup. This is because FIXUP_ESPFIX_STACK destroys
%EAX again with a call to C code.
In all, the overhead is couple of instructions, and no extra branches.
Note that I prefer to use the testing of selectors in the form:
SELECTOR_CLEAR_RPL(sel) == __KERNEL_SEL
Instead of SELECTOR == (%seg), where %seg is the live register value.
This is because moves from segment registers are more costly than a
single ALU instruction, and both cost a temporary register. Still,
pushing the raw %cs value in the NMI after sysenter debug trap fixup
code instead of __KERNEL_CS | RPL is just as efficient, since fetching
RPL would require a %cs load anyway.
The switch from __KERNEL_DS to __USER_DS at one point is for
convenience, since they are both equivalent for %ds and %es segments;
__KERNEL_DS, contrary to the name, is only useful for the %ss segment.
