U-boot for the arndale board splits the memory in 8 contiguous banks and rewrites the memory node. So most of the memory is lost. As the frametable is only able to handle contiguous memory, use the first contiguous banks and warn if some of the memory banks are not used.

In general, designating the frametable algorithm on a function-by-function basis was beneficial to the implementation. One thing that sticks in my craw is that Collector and TargetMachine still have no way of verifying their mutual compatibility. That's fixable with a followup pass. This is the last patch before the fram...

Hell all, I am doing some research work on protecting Xen''s data structures. I know there is a direct-map area(about 12M), in which we can get the physical address of the data structure from its virtual address. My question is : are the stack and the heap of Xen both located in this direct-map area? Since I need protect stack and heap data, so it is easy to identify their physical

Hi I'm using a GC that's pretty similar to the OCaml one. It records stack locations using llvm.gcroot, and dumps out a frametable describing the live stack offsets so that the GC runtime can walk them as required. I'm on 2.3, not svn head. I'm having some trouble with pointers being cached in registers across function calls (at least x86 backend, haven't tried others yet). The steps are: 1. Allocate an array...

My initial thought was more akin to getting the labels I needed and representing the frametable at the source level. That's a terrible idea. :) It makes much more sense for the code generator to cooperate with GC. >> The code generator would need to cooperate by: >> >> 1.

Looking at the problem from that perspective

This is all details of implementation of how it extracts that. The GC sho...

How does native C code > generate these tables? I might've conflated two related points. The frametable isn't really at issue with respect to C interop. Rather, the decision to get into the runtime business is. To be specific, C interop doesn't generate frame table entries. It anchors roots by explicitly registering/unregistering root pads with the runtime. Very similar to the pa...

Hi, all Page offline can be used by many purpose, like memory offline, memory power management, proactive action when multiple CE error happen to one page etc. In virtualization environment without guest offline support, we think offline a page usually means replace the old page with a new one transparently to guest. Currently we are trying to add page offline support in Xen environment .

Included in the pending LLVM garbage collection code generation changeset is an Ocaml frametable emitter. See here: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2007-November/ 011473.html In a JIT context--which I am not presently pursing--it would also be possible to generate these tables in memory and spool the records into an active runtime. This is precisely what the ocaml st...

Hello All (to Ocaml List & CC LLVM list) As some might probably know, the LLVM compiler http://llvm.org/ has (at least in its latest SVN snapshot) a binding for Ocaml. This means that one could code in Ocaml some stuff (eg a JIT-ing compiler) which uses (and links with) LLVM libraries. http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2007-November/011481.html

All, I''m posting to the Xen-devel list and the OSDL fastboot list. There are a number of Xen folks who''ll want to look at the code. For the fastboot folks, this is mostly intended as an announcement of the port. Please limit your replies to the list(s) that they applies to, thanks :-) A number of people have expressed interest in kexec support for Xen guests. In

Hello everyone, this is the fourth version of the patch series that introduces ARMv7 with virtualization extensions support in Xen. The series allows Xen and Dom0 to boot on a Cortex-A15 based Versatile Express simulator.
