similar to: [PATCH 0/3] SMBIOS table passthrough support

Passthrough support for the SMBIOS structures including three new DMTF defined types and support for OEM defined tables. Passed in SMBIOS types override the default internal values. Default values can be enabled for the new type 22 portable battery using a xenstore flag. All other new DMTF defined and OEM structures will only be added to the SMBIOS table if passthrough values are present.

The series "HVM firmware passthrough" series in Jan 2013 from Ross Philipson cause two regressions for HVM guests which sadly found their way into the Xen 4.3 release. The first regression causes an incorrect count of tables to be placed in the main header, and can be seen by running dmidecode in any applicable HVM domain. The second regression found its way into the public ABI, making

Xen control tools support for loading the firmware passthrough blocks during domain construction. SMBIOS and ACPI blocks are passed in using the new xc_hvm_build_args structure. Each block is read and loaded into the new domain address space behind the HVMLOADER image. The base address for the two blocks is returned as an out parameter to the caller via the args structure.

This patch introduces support for two new parameters in libxl: smbios_firmware=<path_to_smbios_structures_file> acpi_firmware=<path_to_acpi_tables_file> The changes are primarily in the domain building code where the firmware files are read and passed to libxc for loading into the new guest. After the domain building call to libxc, the addresses for the loaded blobs are returned and

The following patches are a cleaned up version of the HVM SMBIOS patches I submitted last Friday. Differences include (1) SMBIOS is no longer optional for HVM domU''s. (2) The refactoring I did of hvmloader wasn''t really necessary, so I got rid of it. (3) The patches have been tested on changeset 10671:b20580cf7fc1bfe5119597bb5b576cdd020551d5 (4) The versions of strcpy() and

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

OK, cut two of the iommu reserved memory issue patch as we discussed... This patch adds a boolean boot parameter to xen to allow inclusive mapping of all memory below 4GB to the iommu mappings for dom0. The unusable ranges and memory occupied by xen are still excluded. The parameter is "iommu_inclusive_mapping=1" and is off by default. In addition to the parameter, a warning is also
