Andrew, My apologies if my logic is flawed or what I am describing is convoluted - I am a student doing research into Xen and trying my best to grasp what is going on, also my ASM is subpar. I have read a paper on system call interception ( https://hal.inria.fr/inria-00431031/PDF/Technical_Report_Syscall_Interception.pdf ) - page 10 describes disabling fast system calls by commenting out some code in the do_set_trap_table() function and logging the calls along with other guest info. My concern is that this may be a dated methodology as the paper was written in 2009 but also that this will only work for x86 and not x86_64 systems; including possible loss of performance since fast calls tend to run better on x86 series processor systems. My goal is to identify when a guest makes a hypercall requesting HYPERVISOR_......grant_table_op(), mmu_update(), set_trap_table(), essentially I would love to be able to say...if trapcode = xxx printk("Hypercall xxx\n") has occurred but I am unsure what would be a good route to do something like that.
