Hello xen-devel, I am using xen 4.2.1 and have tried the following with kernel 3.0.0 and 3.2.1. I am trying to invoke the HVMOP_flush_tlbs hypercall but have been unsuccessful. I am basing my call on the functions in in xc_misc.c, trying to guess what is meant by "@arg must be null" in the comment where HVMOP_flush_tlbs is defined. What is the correct way to invoke this

Hello, I am studing Xen hypercall now. I found that hypercall is invoked via hypercall_page, which is only filled with (in no-hypervisor-kernel-mode ): mov $i, %eax int $0x82 ret Why not invoked the hypercall directly by "int $0x82" ? What''s the advantage of using hypercall_page? Thanks, Wu _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> There are many hypercalls which make no sense or which are not supported on ARM systems but it''s not all that obvious which ones we do support. So lets try and document the hypercalls which are useful on ARM. I''m not sure this is the best way to go about this, I''m open to other ideas. Signed-off...

Hi, I am working on a security architecture. In this architecture, the application in DomU has to communicate directly with the hypervisor. But as I can see, the xen architecture allows only DomU kernel to raise a hypercall. I am planning to enable application to communicate with xen directly. I am assuming, setting up a trap gate with Ring-3 access should do the trick. I have few questions

...Now I wish my application under dom0 could talk to Xen via my hypercall. Currently, I make a stub in dom0''s kernel, which works as a proxy to forward the request. So, my application first makes a system call to dom0, which then makes hypercall to xen. Is this design necessary? May I call hypercalls from user application under dom0 directly?

hi, my friends: Currently, i am studying the way of hypercall's implementation. i have already known the flow of hypercall's execuation, and i decided to add a new hypercall into the Xen. first, i want to know the detail of one hypercall function, for example, "do_xen_version", but i can not find the location of definition of "do_xen_version". who can help me? i have

Hi, I have *implemented a new hypercall* and it is working fine when tested from the Dom0 user-space. I want to invoke this hypercall from DomU user-space. I copied all the /usr/lib/libxen* and /usr/include/xen* (recursively) to the DomU Here''s the code I wrote to invoke hypercall: #include <stdio.h> #include <xenctrl.h> int main(void){ int xc_handle, rc;

The initial values of the wallclock time in the shared info page are set for PVHVM guests when the hypercall page is initialized, since the hypercall page is not reinitialized on resume, the hypervisor wallclock time is not properly set on resume. Fix it by forcing an update of the wallclock values when the shared info page is mapped. Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>

Hi, when creating a bigger (> 50 GB) HVM guest with maxmem > memory we get softlockups from time to time. kernel: [ 802.084335] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s! [xend:31351] I tracked this down to the call of xc_domain_set_pod_target() and further p2m_pod_set_mem_target(). Unfortunately I can this check only with xen-4.2.2 as I don''t have a machine with enough memory for

For an SMP Linux HVM guest with PV drivers inserted, when we do save/restore (or LiveMigration) for the guest, it might panic after it''s restored. The panic point is inside ap_suspend(): .... while (info->do_spin) { cpu_relax(); read_lock(&suspend_lock); HYPERVISOR_yield(); ----> guest might panic on the invocation of this function.

...r research we are trying to come up with a Virtual - passthrough model of device drivers in  PV guests. We are looking for 2 separate implementations : 1 for transmitting and the other for receiving the packets in the guest OS. We are relying on IOMMU to ensure isolation. We need to add  these new hypercalls for communication between the guest device driver and the hypervisor. The guest device drivers use these hypercalls to read the state of the current physical device and also request the ownership of the device. We need following hypercalls: HYPERVISOR_device_op, get device state. Before the device...

I am learning xen's memory management recently. I find most docs is how to use the hypercall related memory management. Can somesome tell me where is the implementation of the them in the xen source. Or some docs explaining it will be ideal. 年少不惧江湖老，放歌四海任逍遥。未解前路多少事，欲与青天试比高。 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org
