Hi, I am bit confused about the do_update_va_mapping call that dom0 makes in xen_ident_map_ISA() to map ffff8800000a0000 to mfn a0. The mfn belongs to DOMID_IO. Before the mfn is mapped, the l1 entry is not empty: 0000000139d08500: 00100001380a0027 After the mapping: 0000000139d08500: 00100000000a0467 as expected. However, the mfn 1380a0 s...

While working on a database scaling problem using a SAP database test suite we discovered that these enterprise level large shared memory databases are very heavy users of mprotect(), to the extent that the performance overhead in current Xenolinux impacts scaling beyond a few cpus quite badly. A single cpu run under Xen has a nominal impact, but scaling out to 8 cpus results in a performance of

Hi, I just added 32GB memory in my system and wanted Xen to see that memory, so enabled PAE in xen0 and XenU. I did a make menuconfig in xen0 and xenU, then did a make in xen-unstable and a make install. Whilebooting this kernel, I get the above error PAE mode mismatch. I looked under xen/include/asm-x86/processor.h has #define X86_CR4_PAE defined and so does cpufeature.h have this defined.

Hi all, this patch series makes the necessary changes to make sure that the current ARM hypercall ABI can be used as-is on 64 bit ARM platforms: - it defines xen_ulong_t as uint64_t on ARM; - it introduces a new macro to handle guest pointers, called XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_PARAM (that has size 4 bytes on aarch and is going to have size 8 bytes on aarch64); - it replaces all the occurrences of
