Hi Guys, Thanks for the interest in the xen hypervisor debugger, prev known as kdb. Btw. I''m gonna rename it to xdb for xen-debugger or hdb for hypervisor debugger. KDB is confusing people with linux kdb debugger and I often get emails where people think they need to apply linux kdb patch also... Anyways, attaching patch that is cleaned up of my debug code that I accidentally left in

From: Mukesh Rathor <mukesh.rathor@oracle.com> Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the assembler from putting null char after each string before \.

Hi, (Assume VPID is available and enabled.) I''m trying to figure the TLB stuff with VPIDs. I understand from the poorly written chapter in the intel manual that if an HVM vcpu is running then only the TLBs tagged with the vcpu.VPID will be used. If xen or a PV guest is running, then VPID 0 TLBs are what will be used. Now I understand the hvm_asid_flush_vcpu upon new guest cr3, will

Hi, kdb: to debug xen hypervisor, could also debug guests gdbsx: to debug PV/HVM linux guests The tree is : http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/debuggers.hg See README-dbg. You''ll need to setup serial access for kdb. Thanks, Mukesh > > Hi Dan, > > I''m currently using your version of ssplitd as it is. I haven''t tried > kdb. For some reason I

Hi Ian/Stefano: I changed over to the PV clock for hybrid liked we talked at the hackathon. I still have the hang in update_wall_time() after dom0 switches to xen as clocksource. The source of hang seems to be in xen stime_local_stamp in cpu_time that suddenly jumps to a large 64bit value. I''ve been chasing to figure where that happens, and why for the hybrid and not PV. It appears the

The aim of this patch is to define a stable way in which PVH is going to do AP bringup. Since we are running inside of a HVM container, PVH should only need to set flags, cr3 and user_regs in order to bring up a vCPU, the rest can be set once the vCPU is started using the bare metal methods. Additionally, the guest can also set cr0 and cr4, and those values will be appended to the default values

Hi, I''m looking at a system hang on a large box: 160 cpus, 2TB. Dom0 is booted with 160 vcpus (don''t ask me why :)), and an HVM guest is started with over 1.5T RAM and 128 vcpus. The system hangs without much activity after couple hours. Xen 4.0.2 and 2.6.32 based 64bit dom0. During hang I discovered: Most of dom0 vcpus are in double_lock_balance spinning on one of the locks:

Hi, I am bit confused about the do_update_va_mapping call that dom0 makes in xen_ident_map_ISA() to map ffff8800000a0000 to mfn a0. The mfn belongs to DOMID_IO. Before the mfn is mapped, the l1 entry is not empty: 0000000139d08500: 00100001380a0027 After the mapping: 0000000139d08500: 00100000000a0467 as expected. However, the mfn 1380a0 still seems to belong to dom0. Shouldn''t

Hi guys, Looks like the MPT entry still has the pfn after PV dom0 call to decrease_reservation(). Not sure if this is a major bug, but confusing for debugging. For HVM guests, the MPT seems invalidated as side effect of invalidating the p2m. Btw, this in xen 4.1.3-rc1. Thanks, Mukesh

This on xen 3.4.0. We discovered that following would cause a PV guest (5u3) to panic: - xm save guest - xm restore guest - xm save guest again <-- panic in _FIRST_CPU+0X0/0X1A We''ve narrowed it down to c/s 18634. Now we''re trying to find out why that change was made? Was that fixing some other bug? Thanks, Mukesh

Hi guys, At a loss trying to figure why if (has_eflag(X86_EFLAGS_ID)) returns false in my HVM domU. Standard function has_eflag() in cpucheck.c running in real mode. Works fine on PV dom0, but fails when guest is booting on my hybrid dom0. LMK if any ideas. I''ll keep digging in the manuals, but nothing so far. thanks, Mukesh

Hi, I''m trying to boot up with lot more than 32 vcpus on this very large box. I overcame vcpu_info[MAX_VIRT_CPUS] by doing vcpu placement hypercall in guest, but now running into evt channel limit (lots of devices): unsigned long evtchn_pending[sizeof(unsigned long) * 8]; which limits to 512 max for my 64bit dom0. The only recourse seems to create a new struct shared_info_v2{},

Hmm... I don't know whats the real cause. Is it during boot of the HVM guest, or is the guest completely up and you are trying to set breakpoing? For immediate use, can you just rebuilt the kernel with module built in? I don't have a setup right now to debug/fix it, and am very busy with PVH and preparing for xen summit, so need some time to debug and fix it. thanks, mukesh PS: please
