BSS) and then copies the boot * header and kernel command line somewhere safe. Finally it checks the * 'hardware_subarch' field. This was introduced in 2.6.24 for lguest and Xen: * if it's set to '1' (lguest's assigned number), then it calls us here. * * WARNING: be very careful here!

It's *cool*! It's in *assembler*! * * The "iret" instruction is used to return from an interrupt or trap. The * stack looks like this: * old address * old code segment & privilege level * old processor flags ("eflags") * * The "iret" instruction pops those values off the stack and restores them all * at once. The only problem is that eflags includes the Interrupt Flag which * the Guest can't change: the CPU will simply ignore it when we do an "iret". * So we have to copy eflags from the stack to lguest_data.irq_enabled before * we do the "iret". * * There are two problems with this: firstly, we need to use a register to do * the copy and secondly, the whole thing needs to be atomic. The first * problem is easy to solve: push %eax on the stack so we can use it, and then * restore it at the end just before the real "iret". * * The second is harder: copying eflags to lguest_data.irq_enabled will turn * interrupts on before we're finished, so we could be interrupted before we * return to userspace or wherever. Our solution to this is to surround the * code with lguest_noirq_start: and lguest_noirq_end: labels.
