From c9ccf30d77f04064fe5436027ab9d2230c7cdd94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 02:14:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] paravirt: Add startup infrastructure for paravirtualization 1) Each hypervisor writes a probe function to detect whether we are running under that hypervisor. paravirt_probe() registers this function. 2) If vmlinux is booted with ring != 0, we call all the probe functions (with registers except %esp intact) in link order: the winner will not return.
