linux-toradex.git/include/xen/interface/hvm/dm_op.h, branch v4.19-rc5 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules xen/privcmd: Add IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP 2017-02-14T20:13:43+00:00 Paul Durrant paul.durrant@citrix.com 2017-02-13T17:03:23+00:00 ab520be8cd5d56867fc95cfbc34b90880faf1f9d Recently a new dm_op[1] hypercall was added to Xen to provide a mechanism for restricting device emulators (such as QEMU) to a limited set of hypervisor operations, and being able to audit those operations in the kernel of the domain in which they run. This patch adds IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP as gateway for __HYPERVISOR_dm_op. NOTE: There is no requirement for user-space code to bounce data through locked memory buffers (as with IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL) since privcmd has enough information to lock the original buffers directly.

Recently a new dm_op[1] hypercall was added to Xen to provide a mechanism
for restricting device emulators (such as QEMU) to a limited set of
hypervisor operations, and being able to audit those operations in the
kernel of the domain in which they run.

This patch adds IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP as gateway for __HYPERVISOR_dm_op.

NOTE: There is no requirement for user-space code to bounce data through
      locked memory buffers (as with IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL) since
      privcmd has enough information to lock the original buffers
      directly.
