Subject: [PATCH 13/14] i386 / Introduce hypervisor ldt hooks
Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 21:58:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200508110458.j7B4wLq9019627@zach-dev.vmware.com> (raw)
Add hooks that the hypervisor can use to establish writable and non-writable
pages for LDT pages. I made these parallel the page flags as defined in
include/linux/page-flags.h, since the flag mechanism is very similar to the
hypercall page flagging, and extended easily later to include PT, PD, PDP,
GDT, etc.
Patch-against: 2.6.13-rc5-mm1
Patch-keys: i386 ldt paravirt xen
