That is correct. For root partition, the hypervisor has already allocated the hypercall page. The root is required to query the page, map it in its address space and wrmsr to enable it. It cannot change the location of the page. For guest, it can allocate and assign the hypercall page. This is covered a bit in the hypervisor TLFS (section 3.13 in TLFS v6), for the guest side. The root side is not covered there, yet. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
