22 * LEGACY indicated the fields in the legacy __xen_guest string which
23 * this a note type replaces.
25 * String values (for non-legacy) are NULL terminated ASCII, also known
28 * Xen only uses ELF Notes contained in x86 binaries.
32 * NAME=VALUE pair (string).
34 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_INFO 0
37 * The virtual address of the entry point (numeric).
41 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_ENTRY 1
43 /* The virtual address of the hypercall transfer page (numeric).
45 * LEGACY: HYPERCALL_PAGE. (n.b. legacy value is a physical page
46 * number not a virtual address)
48 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_HYPERCALL_PAGE 2
50 /* The virtual address where the kernel image should be mapped (numeric).
56 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_VIRT_BASE 3
59 * The offset of the ELF paddr field from the actual required
60 * pseudo-physical address (numeric).
62 * This is used to maintain backwards compatibility with older kernels
63 * which wrote __PAGE_OFFSET into that field. This field defaults to 0
66 * LEGACY: ELF_PADDR_OFFSET. (n.b. legacy default is VIRT_BASE)
68 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_PADDR_OFFSET 4
71 * The version of Xen that we work with (string).
75 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_XEN_VERSION 5
78 * The name of the guest operating system (string).
82 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_OS 6
85 * The version of the guest operating system (string).
89 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_VERSION 7
92 * The loader type (string).
96 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_LOADER 8
99 * The kernel supports PAE (x86/32 only, string = "yes", "no" or
102 * For compatibility with Xen 3.0.3 and earlier the "bimodal" setting
103 * may be given as "yes,bimodal" which will cause older Xen to treat
104 * this kernel as PAE.
106 * LEGACY: PAE (n.b. The legacy interface included a provision to
107 * indicate 'extended-cr3' support allowing L3 page tables to be
108 * placed above 4G. It is assumed that any kernel new enough to use
109 * these ELF notes will include this and therefore "yes" here is
110 * equivalent to "yes[entended-cr3]" in the __xen_guest interface.
112 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_PAE_MODE 9
115 * The features supported/required by this kernel (string).
117 * The string must consist of a list of feature names (as given in
118 * features.h, without the "XENFEAT_" prefix) separated by '|'
119 * characters. If a feature is required for the kernel to function
120 * then the feature name must be preceded by a '!' character.
124 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES 10
127 * The kernel requires the symbol table to be loaded (string = "yes" or "no")
128 * LEGACY: BSD_SYMTAB (n.b. The legacy treated the presence or absence
129 * of this string as a boolean flag rather than requiring "yes" or
132 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_BSD_SYMTAB 11
135 * The lowest address the hypervisor hole can begin at (numeric).
137 * This must not be set higher than HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START. Its presence
138 * also indicates to the hypervisor that the kernel can deal with the
139 * hole starting at a higher address.
141 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_HV_START_LOW 12
144 * List of maddr_t-sized mask/value pairs describing how to recognize
145 * (non-present) L1 page table entries carrying valid MFNs (numeric).
147 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_L1_MFN_VALID 13
150 * Whether or not the guest supports cooperative suspend cancellation.
151 * This is a numeric value.
155 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_SUSPEND_CANCEL 14
158 * The (non-default) location the initial phys-to-machine map should be
159 * placed at by the hypervisor (Dom0) or the tools (DomU).
160 * The kernel must be prepared for this mapping to be established using
161 * large pages, despite such otherwise not being available to guests. Note
162 * that these large pages may be misaligned in PFN space (they'll obviously
163 * be aligned in MFN and virtual address spaces).
164 * The kernel must also be able to handle the page table pages used for
165 * this mapping not being accessible through the initial mapping.
166 * (Only x86-64 supports this at present.)
168 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_INIT_P2M 15
171 * Whether or not the guest can deal with being passed an initrd not
172 * mapped through its initial page tables.
174 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_MOD_START_PFN 16
177 * The features supported by this kernel (numeric).
179 * Other than XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES on pre-4.2 Xen, this note allows a
180 * kernel to specify support for features that older hypervisors don't
181 * know about. The set of features 4.2 and newer hypervisors will
182 * consider supported by the kernel is the combination of the sets
183 * specified through this and the string note.
187 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_SUPPORTED_FEATURES 17
190 * Physical entry point into the kernel.
192 * 32bit entry point into the kernel. When requested to launch the
193 * guest kernel in a HVM container, Xen will use this entry point to
194 * launch the guest in 32bit protected mode with paging disabled.
197 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_PHYS32_ENTRY 18
200 * Physical loading constraints for PVH kernels
202 * The presence of this note indicates the kernel supports relocating itself.
204 * The note may include up to three 32bit values to place constraints on the
205 * guest physical loading addresses and alignment for a PVH kernel. Values
206 * are read in the following order:
207 * - a required start alignment (default 0x200000)
208 * - a minimum address for the start of the image (default 0; see below)
209 * - a maximum address for the last byte of the image (default 0xffffffff)
211 * When this note specifies an alignment value, it is used. Otherwise the
212 * maximum p_align value from loadable ELF Program Headers is used, if it is
213 * greater than or equal to 4k (0x1000). Otherwise, the default is used.
215 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_PHYS32_RELOC 19
218 * The number of the highest elfnote defined.
220 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_MAX XEN_ELFNOTE_PHYS32_RELOC
223 * System information exported through crash notes.
225 * The kexec / kdump code will create one XEN_ELFNOTE_CRASH_INFO
226 * note in case of a system crash. This note will contain various
227 * information about the system, see xen/include/xen/elfcore.h.
229 #define XEN_ELFNOTE_CRASH_INFO 0x1000001
232 * System registers exported through crash notes.
234 * The kexec / kdump code will create one XEN_ELFNOTE_CRASH_REGS
235 * note per cpu in case of a system crash. This note is architecture
236 * specific and will contain registers not saved in the "CORE" note.
