[Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/6] xen/arm: Implement VLPT for guest p2m mapping in live migration



From: Jaeyong Yoo <jaeyong.yoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Thsi patch implements VLPT (virtual-linear page table) for fast accessing
of 3rd PTE of guest P2M. For more info about VLPT, please see
http://www.technovelty.org/linux/virtual-linear-page-table.html.

When creating a mapping for VLPT, just copy the 1st level PTE of guest p2m
to xen's 2nd level PTE. Then the mapping becomes the following:
      xen's 1st PTE -->
      xen's 2nd PTE (which is the same as 1st PTE of guest p2m) -->
      guest p2m's 2nd PTE -->
      guest p2m's 3rd PTE (the memory contents where the vlpt points)

This function is used in dirty-page tracing. When domU write-fault is
trapped by xen, xen can immediately locate the 3rd PTE of guest p2m.

The following link shows the performance comparison for handling a
dirty-page between vlpt and typical page table walking.
