RE: [Xen-devel] how can I find code of hypercall?

["Jayaraman, Bhaskar" <Bhaskar.Jayaraman@xxxxxxx>]

I've done this on an HVM. For Intel, you can go to platform-pci and dump the 
hypercall page on the console 4 bytes at a time. Each 4 byte value on the 
hypercall page constitutes an Intel x86 instruction, and you should find 
something like this: -
0xc1010f00 
0xccccccc3 
0xcccccccc 
0xcccccccc 
0xcccccccc 
0xcccccccc 
0xcccccccc 
0x1b8
.
.

The first instruction is the vmcall opcode.

You can also check this mail thread I had once with the community: -

Subject: [Xen-devel] how can I find code of hypercall?

hi,all
I am trying to check how hypercall works.
For example , one guest call HYPERVISOR_update_va_mapping(), next
thing is to call   _hypercall4(int, update_va_mapping,
va,new_val.pte_low, pte_hi, flags)
Then I find the core of _hypercall14 is call hypercall_page +
("STR(__HYPERVISOR_##name)" * 32).
The hypercalls are mapped into a page so guest call call it through
functions in that page.
However, I couldn't trace deeper from here. grep for "hypercall_page"
gets no answer.

My question is when is this page filled with hypercall functions and
Where can I find codes of this core functions?
Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks
