similar to: Big Bug:Time in VM running on xen goes slower

Finally I got around to breaking up the similarly named monolithic patch that caused a regression shortly before the 4.2 release and got therefore reverted. This series consists of the broken up pieces that - according to my testing - don''t expose the reported lockup; the 7th will need debugging to understand what''s wrong there. 1: use RTC_* names instead of literal numbers 2:

This patch series makes suspend support in qemu alot more useful. Right now the guest can put itself into s3, but qemu will wakeup the guest instantly. With this patch series applied the guest will stay suspended instead and there are a few events which can kick the guest out of suspend state: A monitor command, ps/2 input, serial input, rtc. Not much yet, but it''s a start with the

I am confused with a problem: I have a blade with 64 physical CPUs and 64G physical RAM, and defined only one VM with 1 CPU and 40G RAM. For the first time I started the VM, it just took 3s, But for the second starting it took 30s. After studied it by printing log, I have located a place in the hypervisor where cost too much time, occupied 98% of the whole starting time. xen/common/page_alloc.c

The UIP(update in progress) is set when RTC is in updating. And the update cycle begins 244us later after UIP is set.

Hi In rtc_set_time, mktime is called to calculate seconds since 1970/01/01, input parameters of mktime are required to be in normal date format. Such as: year=1980, mon=12, day=31, hour=23, min=59, sec=59. However, the current input parameter of mktime is tm->tm_year, and it is the number of years since 1900. (For example, if current time is 2012/12/31, and tm->tm_year is 112). This is

Hi there, I got a daily cron (rdate to local time server) job wich adjusts time and which constantly gives me headache. Every day my dovecot suicides with: "dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 11 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now." Of course my onboard clock is constantly off by more than 5 secs. I don't want to abandon time

I'm playing around with an ALIX 2D2 board (http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d2.htm). It's a fanless, x86 system using an AMD Geode processor with 256MB of RAM. Also available are two network interfaces, two USB ports and one serial port (no keyboard or VGA). I'm using the Voyage Linux distro, which basically is Debian Lenny optimized for this board. Asterisk 1.6.1.12 runs fine on the

Hi, When using lapic as timer source the hypervisor delivers timer interrupts late. In the source xen/arch/x86/hvm/vpt.c function create_periodic_time creates a timer element with a "bonus" of 50% of the desired time until the interrupt: pt->scheduled = NOW() + period; /* * Offset LAPIC ticks from other timer ticks. Otherwise guests which use * LAPIC ticks for

Hi everyone, I just installed asterisk on my system with the purpose of rerouting calls on sip channels. I don't think i need any hardware for that. I am using LIPZ4(zultys) and sjphone as softphones. I tried setting up both of them and to call one from the other on the same machine, however could not. I 1-) I could connect sjphone in isolation to freeworld dialup howver i got no sounds

When running on PowerPC, we don''t have native PIO support. There are a few hacks around to enable PIO access on PowerPC nevertheless. The most typical one is the isa-mmio device. It takes MMIO requests and converts them to PIO requests on the (QEMU internal) PIO bus. This however is not how real hardware works and it limits us in the ability to spawn eventfd''s on PIO ports

Hi, After c/s 18694 changed vHPET to vpt, for single HVM RHEL 5u1 guest idle case, our box will consume ~0.8W more power than before. The reason is two periodical vpts'' expires are hard to be aligned in the 50us soft timer SLOP. So we are considering a vpt specific enhancement which could try to just align periodical timers within vpt. A generic enhancement is to add a new interface
