similar to: [PATCH] x86: retrieve keyboard shift status flags from BIOS

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Hi all, This series adds a new microcode driver for Xen. The Xen hypervisor can deal with all the low-level details of doing a microcode update (Intel vs AMD, doing all the physical CPUs present on the system, current and future, etc), so all the driver has to do is make a hypercall to upload the microcode into Xen. This only

Apparently some players are ill-prepared for us claiming that a decoder exists only to have creating it fail, and express this poor preparation with crashes (e.g. flash). Check that firmware is there to increase the chances of there being a high correlation between reported capabilities and ability to create a decoder.

While compiling XEN with XSM_ENABLE=y and FLASK_ENABLE=y, I received the following error. gcc -O1 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -m64 -g -fno-strict-aliasing -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused-value -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -fno-builtin -fno-common -Wredundant-decls -iwithprefix include -Werror -Wno-pointer-arith -pipe

Hello, This series has been split into two patches, one for arm and one for x86. I figured that this was easier than doing it as a single combined patch, especially as the changes are functionally independent. x86 has been boot tested, but arm has not even been compile tested as I lack a suitable cross compiler. However, the changes are just text replacement, so I dont expect any issues. The

Enable cpufreq support in Xen for AMD Operton processors by: 1) Allowing the PowerNow! driver in dom0 to write to the PowerNow! MSRs. 2) Adding the cpufreq notifier chain to time-xen.c in dom0. On a frequency change, a platform hypercall is performed to scale the frequency multiplier in the hypervisor. 3) Adding a platform hypercall to the hypervisor the scale the frequency multiplier and reset

Hi Ingo, Here''s the chunk of patches to add Xen Dom0 support (it''s probably worth creating a new xen/dom0 topic branch for it). A dom0 Xen domain is basically the same as a normal domU domain, but it has extra privileges to directly access hardware. There are two issues to deal with: - translating to and from the domain''s pseudo-physical addresses and real machine

Hey, There has been some discussion about EFI and SecureBoot and such. Most of the time I get questions in the form of "How do I get Fedora 17 with Xen to do EFI", I am going to concentrate on Fedora, but I think this applies to other distros too. From my reading (I hadn't actually tried EFI yet), there are two ways to bootup a system: - Using grub2.efi. Grub2 does the EFI API

Folks, A new release candidate for 3.2.0 has just been checked into the xen-unstable tree. It''s available from staging and will be in the main tree when it has passed internal regression tests. Meanwhile, in preparation for 3.1.3, please let me know if there are any further patches from xen-unstable that should be backported into the 3.1 branch. You can pull the xen-3.1-testing.hg

I have a IBM System x3600 series server with UEFI. I managed to compile the xen EFI (xen-4.2-unstable.efi). The machine is currently running Ubuntu with grub2. I can see a grubx64.efi in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi Where should I put the xen efi ? I tried creating a efi/EFI/xen/xen-4.2-unstable.efi and added it as a boot option using efibootmgr. All I get in that case is a blank screen. I

Basic infrastructure for Xen S3 support with a common CPU context save/restore logic for both 32bit and 64bit. Wakeup code is split into two parts: - the first locates after trampoline code, to share all the tricks on the latter, like relocation base and identy mapping - the 2nd part locates in xen code segment, to do the actual CPU context restore Signed-off-by Ke Yu

Hello, Has any more work been done on this front? The message below is from Sept. 2006. In particular, the LT/TXT Technology Enabling Platform (TEP) is now available from MPC Corp. Where can one obtain an appropriate AC SINIT module (i.e., like lpg_sinit_20050831_pae.auth.bin below)? I would like to begin using Xen with TXT support. Thanks, -Jon This patch adds SMP support to the
