[Xen-ia64-devel] RE: how to put kernel module in xen/ipf

["Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins)" <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxx>]

Yes, the hypercall parameter mechanism is still evolving for Xen/ia64.  Very few

hypercalls are necessary to run domain0, so experimentation with different hypercall

mechanisms has waited until multi-domain work.

 

Can you explain more about kernel modules?  I know (roughly) how they

work for Linux, but not how they are used on Xen/x86.  Others on this

list might like to learn too, so perhaps you could explain the design

in detail?

Thanks,
Dan

Subject: how to put kernel module in xen/ipf

Hi, Dan,       

XEN/IPF kernel module has a lot of difference from XEN/ia32, especially the mechanism of passing hypercall parameter. Currently we create directory “km” under xen/arch/ia64, and put kernel module code in that directory.

        Any comment?
