Hello Xen Developers,
I am currently working on declaring a new hypercall in Xen.
For this i have declared my hypercall in xen.h -
#define __HYPERVISOR_jeet1 56
Then I modified the xcom_privcmd.c to accomodate my hypercall -
case __HYPERVISOR_jeet1:
printk("Successfull Hypercall made to
__HYPERVISOR_jeet1");
I defined the structure for the Hypercall in xc_domain.c
int hypercall_test(int handle){
int rc;
/* Hypercall definitions */
DECLARE_HYPERCALL;
hypercall.op = __HYPERVISOR_jeet1;
rc = do_xen_hypercall(handle, &hypercall);
hypercall.arg[0] = 0;
hypercall.arg[1] = 1;
//printf ("Hypercall Details: %d\n", rc);
//xc_interface_close(handle);
return rc;
}
And then I am calling this Hypercall through an user level program-
#include <xenctrl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Attempt to invoke the hypercall: __HYPERVISOR_jeet1\n");
int handle, rc;
/* Acquire Hypervisor Interface Handle.
This handle goes as the first argument for the function
do_xen_hypercall()
*/
handle = xc_interface_open();
printf ("Acquired handle to Xen Hypervisor:%d\n",handle);
rc = hypercall_test(handle);
printf ("Hypercall Details: %d\n", rc);
xc_interface_close(handle);
return 0;
}
The program compiles properly but gives me -1 error for rc. I have posted the
same query and I got replies on it. But even after trying many things, I am
still stuck with this problem. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong
here. Also please tell me where
should I view the output of printk in xen.
Thanks in advance.

Satyajeet Nimgaonkar

Do you understand that you must also change the hypervisor to recognize and do
something with your new hypercall? Your userland code may actually be working
and the hypercall may actually be resulting in an entry into the hypervisor, but
unless the hypervisor is modified to recognize the new hypercall (#56) and do
something with it, the hypervisor will generate a return value of -1
(essentially saying "I don''t recognize this hypercall
number").
If you have modified the hypervisor, please share that patch. If not, you will
need to modify at least the hypercall_table and the hypercall_args_table in
entry.S (under x86, x86_64, and x86_64/compat, or all three, depending on the
bit-ness of your hypervisor and guest) and create a do_my_hypercall() routine
somewhere. Then of course you will need to ensure that you are properly
building, installing, and booting your newly modified hypervisor.
Printk''s done inside the hypervisor can be viewed using "xm
dmesg" or via a properly configured serial port.
Use "xm info" and look at cc_compile_date to ensure you are booting
your newly modified hypervisor.
Hope that helps,
Dan

Hi Dan,
I followed your instruction from the below email, but still I am
getting -1 for hypercall invocation. These are the steps I followed.
1. Add my hypercall in xen.h ---- #define __HYPERVISOR_jeet1 56
2. Added it to entry.S - hypercall table ---- .quad do_mca /* 48
*/
.quad
do_jeet1 /* 56 */
- hypercall_args_table ---- .byte 1 /* do_mca
*/ /* 48 */
.byte 0 /* do_jeet1 */ /* 56 */
3. Then declared my hypercall in asm-x86/hypercall.h ---- void do_jeet1(void);
4. Then calling it in domctl.c in xen/common --- void do_jeet1(void){
printk ("Successfull Hypercall made to __HYPERVISOR_jeet1");
}
5. Declared a function in xc_domain.c in xen/tools to call this hypercall
int hypercall_test(int handle){
int rc;
int arg=0;
//int cmd=1;
//
//int test;
/* Hypercall definitions */
DECLARE_HYPERCALL;
hypercall.op = __HYPERVISOR_jeet1;
rc = do_xen_hypercall(handle, &hypercall);
hypercall.arg[0] = 0;
hypercall.arg[1] = (unsigned long)&arg;
//printf ("Hypercall Details: %d\n", rc);
//xc_interface_close(handle);
return rc;
}
6. Then wrote a userlevel program to call function hypercall_test and invoke my
hypercall.
#include <xenctrl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Attempt to invoke the hypercall: __HYPERVISOR_jeet1\n");
int handle, rc;
/* Acquire Hypervisor Interface Handle.
This handle goes as the first argument for the function
do_xen_hypercall()
*/
handle = xc_interface_open();
printf ("Acquired handle to Xen Hypervisor:%d\n",handle);
rc = hypercall_test(handle);
printf ("Hypercall Details: %d\n", rc);
xc_interface_close(handle);
printf ("Hypervisor handle closed\n");
return 0;
}
I compiled entire xen, installed it and booted into the atest compiled xen. But
still my userlevel program compiles error free but returns me a -1 error for
hypercall invocation. Can you please tell me what is that I doing wrong.
Thanks.

Satyajeet Nimgaonkar

The hypercall_table and hypercall_args_table are initialized sequences of quads
and bytes. Even though you have put 56 in the comment, you are initializing the
table entry immediately following the 48th entry, which would be hypercall 49.
You need to fill the entries from 49 to 55 in both tables with the appropriate
values. (The assembler syntax for these tables is weird, e.g. endr and rept,
and I am not an expert on it.)

Hi Dan,
But if you look at xen.h, 48-55 are architecture specific hypercalls,
and if I do rept endr from 49-55 as per your advice wouldn''t I be
overriding those hypercalls?

The hypercall_table and hypercall_args_table are initialized sequences of quads
and bytes. Even though you have put 56 in the comment, you are initializing the
table entry immediately following the 48th entry, which would be hypercall 49.
You need to fill the entries from 49 to 55 in both tables with the appropriate
values. (The assembler syntax for these tables is weird, e.g. endr and rept,
and I am not an expert on it.)

Hi Dan,
I followed your instruction from the below email, but still I am
getting -1 for hypercall invocation. These are the steps I followed.
1. Add my hypercall in xen.h ---- #define __HYPERVISOR_jeet1 56
2. Added it to entry.S - hypercall table ---- .quad do_mca /* 48
*/
.quad
do_jeet1 /* 56 */
- hypercall_args_table ---- .byte 1 /* do_mca
*/ /* 48 */
.byte 0 /* do_jeet1 */ /* 56 */
3. Then declared my hypercall in asm-x86/hypercall.h ---- void do_jeet1(void);
4. Then calling it in domctl.c in xen/common --- void do_jeet1(void){
printk ("Successfull Hypercall made to __HYPERVISOR_jeet1");
}
5. Declared a function in xc_domain.c in xen/tools to call this hypercall
int hypercall_test(int handle){
int rc;
int arg=0;
//int cmd=1;
//
//int test;
/* Hypercall definitions */
DECLARE_HYPERCALL;
hypercall.op = __HYPERVISOR_jeet1;
rc = do_xen_hypercall(handle, &hypercall);
hypercall.arg[0] = 0;
hypercall.arg[1] = (unsigned long)&arg;
//printf ("Hypercall Details: %d\n", rc);
//xc_interface_close(handle);
return rc;
}
6. Then wrote a userlevel program to call function hypercall_test and invoke my
hypercall.
#include <xenctrl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Attempt to invoke the hypercall: __HYPERVISOR_jeet1\n");
int handle, rc;
/* Acquire Hypervisor Interface Handle.
This handle goes as the first argument for the function
do_xen_hypercall()
*/
handle = xc_interface_open();
printf ("Acquired handle to Xen Hypervisor:%d\n",handle);
rc = hypercall_test(handle);
printf ("Hypercall Details: %d\n", rc);
xc_interface_close(handle);
printf ("Hypervisor handle closed\n");
return 0;
}
I compiled entire xen, installed it and booted into the atest compiled xen. But
still my userlevel program compiles error free but returns me a -1 error for
hypercall invocation. Can you please tell me what is that I doing wrong.
Thanks.

Satyajeet Nimgaonkar

Do you understand that you must also change the hypervisor to recognize and do
something with your new hypercall? Your userland code may actually be working
and the hypercall may actually be resulting in an entry into the hypervisor, but
unless the hypervisor is modified to recognize the new hypercall (#56) and do
something with it, the hypervisor will generate a return value of -1
(essentially saying “I don’t recognize this hypercall number”).
If you have modified the hypervisor, please share that patch. If not, you will
need to modify at least the hypercall_table and the hypercall_args_table in
entry.S (under x86, x86_64, and x86_64/compat, or all three, depending on the
bit-ness of your hypervisor and guest) and create a do_my_hypercall() routine
somewhere. Then of course you will need to ensure that you are properly
building, installing, and booting your newly modified hypervisor.
Printk’s done inside the hypervisor can be viewed using “xm dmesg” or via a
properly configured serial port.
Use “xm info” and look at cc_compile_date to ensure you are booting your newly
modified hypervisor.
Hope that helps,
Dan

On x86, the table entries are currently filled in (with the .rept) with
do_ni_hypercall and zeroes. I believe they might be used on ia64, but you are
changing a x86-specific source file.

Hi Dan,
But if you look at xen.h, 48-55 are architecture specific hypercalls,
and if I do rept endr from 49-55 as per your advice wouldn''t I be
overriding those hypercalls?
