/*G:020 This is where we begin: we have a magic signature which the launcher

 * "platform type" field which will guide us here from the normal entry point,
 * but for the moment this suffices.  The normal boot code uses %esi for the
 * boot header, so we do too.
 *
 * WARNING: be very careful here!  We're running at addresses equal to physical
 * addesses (around 0), not above PAGE_OFFSET as most code expectes
 * (eg. 0xC0000000).  Jumps are relative, so they're OK, but we can't touch any
 * data.
 *
 * The .section line puts this code in .init.text so it will be discarded after
 * boot. */

/*M:004 When the Host reflects a trap or injects an interrupt into the Guest,
 * it sets the eflags interrupt bit on the stack based on
 * lguest_data.irq_enabled, so the Guest iret logic does the right thing when
 * restoring it.  However, when the Host sets the Guest up for direct traps,
 * such as system calls, the processor is the one to push eflags onto the
 * stack, and the interrupt bit will be 1 (in reality, interrupts are always
 * enabled in the Guest).
 *
 * This turns out to be harmless: the only trap which should happen under Linux
 * with interrupts disabled is Page Fault (due to our lazy mapping of vmalloc
 * regions), which has to be reflected through the Host anyway.  If another
 * trap *does* go off when interrupts are disabled, the Guest will panic, and
 * we'll never get to this iret! :*/

/*G:045 There is one final paravirt_op that the Guest implements, and glancing
 * at it you can see why I left it to last.  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.  We tell the
 * Host that it is *never* to interrupt us there, even if interrupts seem to be
 * enabled. */
