Re: [Xen-devel] Handle for events?

["Srujan D. Kotikela" <ksrujandas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeremy,

I was going through the code in mini-os. The hypervisor_callback, which handles all the events, is defined in the x86_64.S file. In xen sources I see xen/arch/x86/x86_64/entry.S with no such callback function.

>From what I read in the Xen Definitive guide, There is a single handler for all events (hypervisor_callback) which in turn should call individual handlers, which are registered before hand, for each event. I have few questions regarding this:

1. Is there a default event handler for Dom0 kernel (like hypervisor_callback in mini-os). If so, what is the function to register event handlers for specific port/channel (I tried searching the code and couldn't find any)?

2. If no default handler exists how are the handlers for xen_console and xen_store events or any other events setup?

3. Is the ./xen/arch/x86/x86_64/entry.S analogous to ./extras/mini-os/arch/x86/x86_64.S? I mean If I have to write event handler, should I edit entry.S?

/proc/xen is irrelevant to xen-evtchn; you would not expect to see any
changes in /proc/xen as a result of xen-evtchn being present or absent.

You should look carefully at the existing examples of how to use that
device to see where you're going wrong.
