similar to: [PATCH 2/3] SMBIOS table passthrough support

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

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

Add public HVM definitions header for firmware passthrough support (including comment describing the feature''s use). In addition this header is used to collect the various xenstore string values that are used in HVMLOADER.

SMBIOS table pass-through is useful in supporting vendor/OEM specific functionality in HVM guests. There are numerous OEM software packages and drivers that depend on having certain SMBIOS tables surfaced in a guest for their proper functioning. This also includes drivers and software needed for device pass-through. This series of patches introduces support for SMBIOS pass-through in the

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 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 adds a boolean boot parameter to xen to allow reserved memory regions to be added to the iommu mappings for dom0. The parameter is "iommu_include_reserved" and is off by default. A warning is also traced when incorrect RMRR to system memory map values are detected. This is being added to address some incorrect BIOS''s that do not report correctly the requied reserved memory

I have pulled a recent (today''s) clone of staging/xen-unstable.hg and I get a failure when trying to create a domain with xend/xm. The failure I get is: Error: (''<domain GUID>'', ''VM_metrics'') I have traced the problem down to where the pci = [ ''02:00.0'' ] parameter (which is the value in my case) from my configuration

ACPI table passthrough support allowing additional static tables and SSDTs (AML code) to be loaded. These additional tables are added at the end of the secondary table list in the RSDT/XSDT tables.

When I run smbclient -L "myhostname" I get added interface ip="First IP address" bcast = xxx.xx.xx.xxx nmask=255.255.0.0 added interface ip="Second IP address" bcast = xx.xxx.xxx.xx nmask=255.255.255.0 protocol negotiation failed . any insights on why this is happening.

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.

Hi, The new smbmount that comes with Samba 2.0.5a doesn't seem to recognize the '-P' command line option. This means that I cannot automatically mount shares from a script, as I need to manually enter the password for each mount. This used to work with the older smbmount, and also with the newer 'smbmount -c ...'. Is this (passing a password on the command line) not supported

Hello XCI developers, I have a HP6930, downloaded xenclient from the git. And by following the instruction in HOWTO, I could get xenclient boot up fine. I try then to start a guest using xenvm.readme as template and nothing shows on the screen for the guest, although xenops shows 2 doms running. Can you point me to how to start a guest. And also, is the tree downloaded from git enough to arrive

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

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
