     2.4 +
     2.5 +The interface between Xen and overlying guest OSes has changed in the
     2.6 +following ways since version 1.0:
     2.7 +
     2.8 +Modified hypercall 'pt_update'
     2.9 +------------------------------
    2.10 +Page-table updates passed to the 'pt_update' hypercall must now
    2.11 +specify a virtual address that maps the PTE to be modified. Previously
    2.12 +a physical address was used, requiring Xen to temporarily map the PTE
    2.13 +into its own private region so that it could be read and written.
    2.14 +This affects only commands of type PGREQ_NORMAL_UPDATE and
    2.15 +PGREQ_UNCHECKED_UPDATE.
    2.16 +
    2.17 +New hypercall 'update_va_mapping'
    2.18 +---------------------------------
    2.19 +A new high-speed page-table update method has been introduced, which
    2.20 +may be of particular benefit when fixing up application page faults.
    2.21 +Invoked as 'update_va_mapping(page_number, new_pte_value, flags)':
    2.22 + <page_number>: The virtual page number in the current address space 
    2.23 +                whose PTE is to be modified.
    2.24 + <new_pte_value>: The new value to write into the PTE.
    2.25 + <flags>: An ORed combination of
    2.26 +          UVMF_INVLPG: Flush stale TLB entry of the updated page mapping
    2.27 +          UVMF_FLUSH_TLB: Flush all TLB entries
    2.28 +You can see this new call in use in Xenolinux (common/memory.c).
