When running in hooked code we need a way to disable interrupts without
clobbering any interrupts or exiting out to the hypervisor.

To achieve this, we have an additional critical field in the shared page. If
that field is equal to the r1 register of the guest, it tells the hypervisor
that we're in such a critical section and thus may not receive any interrupts.

Is r1 reserved for this purpose?  Can't it match accidentally?

Why won't zero/nonzero work for this?

r1 is defined by the abi to be the stack.

Because there is no store immediate opcode on powerpc :(.

Neat trick!

Or inc/dec...

I think you need to qualify that for supervisor mode only.  Otherwise 
guest userspace can guess the value of shared->critical and disable 
interrupts.

Uh - huh? How would that help?

Yes, you're right. Good catch!

inc shared->critical   # disable interrupts

There is no opcode in the ppc isa that acts on momery without  
involving a register.

An inc would be:

ld rX, A(0)
addi rX, rX, 1
std rX, A(0)

Right, I was agreeing with you.  I meant there was no inc/dec mem insns.

Ah, I see :). I think that's really the only point where I deem the  
x86 isa superior :).

Heh, well, that's a typical RISC thing tho. I think ARM and MIPS are
like PowerPC here at least :-)

Cheers,
