From 4a4c29c96dde0eefd69054fd9e6b4255d4717799 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2017 17:12:45 +0200 Subject: xen: add sysfs node for guest type Currently there is no reliable user interface inside a Xen guest to determine its type (e.g. HVM, PV or PVH). Instead of letting user mode try to determine this by various rather hacky mechanisms (parsing of boot messages before they are gone, trying to make use of known subtle differences in behavior of some instructions), add a sysfs node /sys/hypervisor/guest_type to explicitly deliver this information as it is known to the kernel.
