There has been some progress, but still no joy. Definitely not intended for inclusion at this point. Tim, Wei, I added a Xen command line toggle to disable IOMMU and P2M table sharing. Tim, I verified that changes to p2m-pt.c don''t break shadow mode (64bit hypervisor and Win 7 guest). Hongkaixing, I incorporated your suggestion in patch 2, so I should add your Signed-off-by eventually.

I ran a bisect to find out when Windows XP 32 bit becomes unusably slow. And I found the changeset that caused it. ========== The problem: ========== Windows 8 64 bit and 32 bit run fast and fine in the newest xen versions. Windows XP 32 bit runs unusably slow in anything new that I built from xen-unstable, but runs fast in 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 stable. While it is running slow, "xm top" or

Populate-on-demand: Check pages being returned by the balloon driver This patch series is the second result of my work last summer on decreasing fragmentation of superpages in a guests'' p2m when using populate-on-demand. This patch series is against 4.1; I''m posting it to get feedback on the viability of getting a ported version of this patch into 4.2. As with the previous

The following two patches allow the parallel use of memsharing, xenpaging and xen-access by using an independent ring buffer for each feature. Please review. v2: - update mem_event_check_ring arguments, check domain rather than domain_id - check ring_full first because its value was just evaluated - check if ring buffer is initialized before calling mem_access_domctl/mem_paging_domctl

ging_prep ensures that an mfn is backing the paged-out gfn, and transitions to the next state in the paging state machine for this page. Foreign mappings of the gfn will now succeed. This is the key idea, as it allows the pager to now map the gfn and fill in its contents. Unfortunately, it also allows any other foreign mapper to map the gfn and read its contents. This is particularly dangerous

Hi, kdb: to debug xen hypervisor, could also debug guests gdbsx: to debug PV/HVM linux guests The tree is : http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/debuggers.hg See README-dbg.

The patch deals with the situation which guest OS uses unused page table pages as data pages and write data to them. The pages will still be grabbed by Xen as page table pages, and lots of unnecessary page faults occur. The patch will check if the data guest writes to the page table contains valid mfn or not, if not, we believe it is a data page now and then unshadow the page. The patch

The following two patches are about how to speed up in xenpaging when page in pages. On suse11-64 with 4G memory,if we page out 2G pages,it will cost about 15.5 seconds, but take 2088 seconds to finish paging in.If page-in costs too much time,it will cause unmesurable problems when vm or dom0 access the paged_out page,such as BSOD,crash. What鈥檚 more,the dom0 is always in high I/O pressure.

The following dump-core patches changes its format into ELF, adds PFN-GMFN table, HVM support, and adds experimental IA64 support. - ELF format Program header and note section are adopted. - HVM domain support To know the memory area to dump, XENMEM_set_memory_map is added. XENMEM_memory_map hypercall is for current domain, so new one is created. and hvm domain builder tell xen its

From: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> With virtual EPT support, L1 hyerpvisor can use EPT hardware for L2 guest''s memory virtualization. In this way, L2 guest''s performance can be improved sharply. According to our testing, some benchmarks can show > 5x performance gain.

I''ve recently noticed that my windows crash dumps fail at around 40-50% under GPLPV. ''xm dmesg'' shows the following: (XEN) grant_table.c:350:d0 Iomem mapping not permitted ffffffffffffffff (domain 865) At first I thought that the cause was just a bug in my grant ref code but it just occurred to me that this could be happening when Windows tries to write out the
