...erent guests are running in different memory-management modes. * 1. A guest running in auto-translated mode (e.g., shadow_mode_translate()) * will have gpfn == gmfn and gmfn != mfn. * 2. A paravirtualised x86 guest will have gpfn != gmfn and gmfn == mfn. * 3. A paravirtualised guest with no pseudophysical overlay will have * gpfn == gpmfn == mfn. * what is the meaning about auto-translated mode,is it not the same with paravirtualised one ? does the auto-translated mode work for hvm and shadow mode? how does it work? and what is the mechanism about paravirtualised guest with no pseudophysica...

In order to be meaningful and usable together with other measuring methods, their use in my opinion should impose as little overhead as possible. With that, I wonder why per-cpu counters use atomic operations.

Hi, Sometimes when I mount a disk image, unmount it, and then try to create a domU using the disk image I get the following error: Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found. Im using a FC4 image. Here is the config file: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-rc3-xenU" memory=256 name=Domain1 vif = [''bridge=xenbr0''] disk = [

Hi Keir: These two patches remove the need for netloop by performing the copying in netback and only if it is necessary. The rationale is that most packets will be processed without delay allowing them to be freed without copying at all. So instead of copying every packet destined to dom0 we''ll only copy those that linger longer than a specified amount of time (currently 0.5s). As it

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

In p2m.c (line 197 and line 550), the code assumes the number of L3 P2M table entries is 8 (under PAE mode). According to Intel and AMD specs, it is 4. Could someone explain this discrepancy? Is it a bug? -Wei _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

> Hmmm... wouldn''t it be nice if we didn''t have a bespoke, > buggy & incomplete emulator for hvm mmio. ;-) In the process of solving this one, I''ve got to (another) of the blocking points... At the moment, we translate the virtual address from the guest in the page-fault-handler to guest physical address via the gva_to_gpa() function in svm.c/vmx.c:

paging mechanism clarification Hi All, The Xen uses 2 level Paging Mechanism to resolve the Virtual Addresses into frame numbers from domU.The first level is taken care by the MMU for the domU i.e translation from virtual address to the physical address just like normal paging mechanism. The second level of translation is done by the Xen hypervisor.It translates the pseduo physical address

I just built 4.3.0 in order to get > 2GB of RAM in domU with GPU passthrough without crashes. Unfortunately, the same crashes still happen. Massive frame buffer corruption on domU before it locks up solid. It seems the PCI memory stomp is still happening. I am using qemu-dm, as I did on Xen 4.2.x. So whatever fix for this went into 4.3.0 didn''t fix it for me. Passing less than 2GB

This patch series is a reworking of a series developed by Mukesh Rathor at Oracle. The entirety of the design and development was done by him; I have only reworked, reorganized, and simplified things in a way that I think makes more sense. The vast majority of the credit for this effort therefore goes to him. This version is labelled v13 because it is based on his most recent series, v11.

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

Unlike full virtualization in which the virtual machine provides the same platform interface as running natively on the hardware, paravirtualization requires modification to the guest operating system to work with the platform interface provided by the hypervisor. Xen was designed with performance in mind. Calls to the hypervisor are minimized, batched if necessary, and non-critical codepaths

Changes from v3: - mini-os configuration files moved into stubdom/ - mini-os extra console support now a config option - Fewer #ifdefs - grant table setup uses hypercall bounce - Xenstore stub domain syslog support re-enabled Changes from v2: - configuration support added to mini-os build system - add mini-os support for conditionally compiling frontends, xenbus -

This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest in terms of the paravirt-ops interface. The features in implemented this patch series are: * domU only * UP only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu) * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning (no shadow pagetable support) * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes * xen console * virtual block
