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-by: Ian Campbell

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

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

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. See the following announce email for more informations about what we are trying to achieve, as well as the original git history: See
