similar to: [PATCH RFC] hvmloader: Make ROM dependencies optional

This patch set mainly allows the user to build a seabios or rombios only version of hvmloader. In addition, when building a seabios only hvmloader, Option ROMs like vgabios and etherboot are no longer required, and therefore can be disabled from the build. Dependency on the bcc compiler can also be avoided the same way. v2: Separate patches for separate issues Introduced config option to

This patch series adds the ability to selectively disable the S3 and S4 ACPI power states for HVM guests. Since there is a general move towards retiring the hvm_info_table structure, the first patch moves the acpi_enabled flag out of the hvm_info_table and into a xenstore key (platform/acpi). The second patch then introduces the acpi_s3 and acpi_s4 configuration parameters to the xl config file

Hi, These set of patches are affected by replacing bios_relocate hook with bios_load hook in hvmloader. The patches for code files config.h and hvmloader.c also contains part of the contents of Enabling UEFI BIOS(OVMF) support in Xen-unstable HVM. Is there any problem with these patches? Thank you very much. # HG changeset patch # User gbtju85@gmail.com # Replace bios_relocate hook with

Hi List, many People seem to be interested in the Graphic-Card Passthrough Feature (for more or less obvious reasons). Official Support is still under development, and i hope not to interfere with it in any (bad) way ... But i remember my own painfull and timeconsuming research when i wanted this feature to work, so i thought perhaps this spares some time for the unpatient users like me :)

Attached simple patch modifies the rombios and hvmloader Makefiles to default to an 8-way bochs bios for the hvmloader. Is there a reason to not define the mp config table by default for >1 processors (8), in the repository? Seems like using the hvm guest config file can the methodolody to describe a UP guest regardless of the mptables. Defaulting the rombios to MP would allow users to

A "main" function is defined in Xen-3.1.0-source/tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c. In this main function, rombios, vgabios and vmxassist are copied to specified address, with following commands memcpy((void *)ROMBIOS_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, rombios, rombios_sz); ... memcpy((void *)ETHERBOOT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, etherboot, sizeof(etherboot)); ....

This patch adds an implementation of the TCG BIOS extensions to the Bochs BIOS and enables logging of boot measurements using the previously implemented support for TCPA ACPI tables. A low-level driver for a TPM TIS device and an Atmel device is provided. The implemented specification is described here:

I have a self built system using an Intel D 920 processor and a MB that supports VT. I''m able to run HVM domains fine, but have trouble getting multiple VCPUs for these domains.

I am getting the following build break on changeset 13662. I am compiling on x86_64 SLES10 with gcc 4.1.0. Is there a fix for this?

Thank you. I notice the system then jumps to F000:FFF0 to execute. But because VMX is turned on, switching to real-mode would incur problems? I don’t find any clue to turn on the vm86 mode as Readme in the tools/firmware directory puts.

This bug, at its core, is that currently there is no supported solution for VGA passthrough on Xen for stable version Jessie from Debian. After browsing Xen's repositories, I found out that Xen did not claim to support VGA passthrough with the upstream qemu-xen device model until Sep 25, 2015, the date the xl.cfg man page was updated to indicate support for VGA passthrough with upstream

Hi Trying to get WinXP HVM to install as domU on AMD. Got latest Xen Kernel and Xen package (NOT unstable or debug). When start, a window pops up for few seconds.. then it dies and another one comes up... and it disappears too. (Xen is trying to restart and giving up because the restart happens in 2 seconds..) It seems DomU is not able to read/understand something from Cirrus VGABIOS.

The SeaBIOS ROM image may validly exceed 128k in size, it''s only our interface code that so far assumed that it wouldn''t. Remove that restriction by setting the base address depending on image size. Add a check to HVM loader so that too big images won''t result in silent guest failure anymore. Uncomment the intended build-time size check for rombios, moving it into a
