/proc/xen is a legacy pseudo filesystem which predates Xen support getting merged into Linux. It has largely been replaced with more normal locations for data (/sys/hypervisor/ for info, /dev/xen/ for user devices). We want to compile xenfs support out of the dom0 kernel. There is one item which only exists in /proc/xen, namely /proc/xen/capabilities with "control_d" being the signal of "you're in the control domain". This ultimately comes from the SIF flags provided at VM start. This patch exposes all SIF flags in /sys/hypervisor/start_flags/ as boolean files, one for each bit, returning '1' if set, '0' otherwise. Two known flags, 'privileged' and 'initdomain', are explicitly named, and all remaining flags can be accessed via generically named files, as suggested by Andrew Cooper.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
