xen的启动信息页中包含dom启动的控制台,内存的信息。
有些数据类型在dom启动和恢复的时候都会被使用:
magic xen的版本信息
nr_pages dom的内存页数
shared_info 共享信息页的物理地址
flags dom的属性,SIF_XXX格式,表明是否为特权域等
/* These flags are passed in the 'flags' field of start_info_t. */
#define SIF_PRIVILEGED (1<<0) /* Is the domain privileged? */
#define SIF_INITDOMAIN (1<<1) /* Is this the initial control domain? */
#define SIF_MULTIBOOT_MOD (1<<2) /* Is mod_start a multiboot module? */
#define SIF_MOD_START_PFN (1<<3) /* Is mod_start a PFN? */
#define SIF_PM_MASK (0xFF<<8) /* reserve 1 byte for xen-pm options */
store_mfn 和store_evtchn 表示共享页号,和事件通道共同构成了这个domain的xenstore 设备
console表示一个控制台设备
下面的数据是只用在domain启动的时候
pt_base 表示页目录的虚拟地址,nr_pt_frames 表示有多少个页框,mfn_list表示页框列表
mod_start和mod_len 来在系统启动时候加载一定数量的模块
cmd_line 用于dom启动时向系统内核传递参数
