From db985220778e200a935c6d8afddb2b1e32554375 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2017 19:23:49 +0200 Subject: doc,xen: document hypervisor sysfs nodes for xen Today only a few sysfs nodes under /sys/hypervisor/ are documented for Xen in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-hypervisor-pmu. Add the remaining Xen sysfs nodes under /sys/hypervisor/ in a new file Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-hypervisor-xen and add the Xen specific sysfs docs to the MAINTAINERS file.

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.
