similar to: alloc_heap_pages is low efficient with more CPUs

Dear all: I have found a big bug on xen concerning time virtualization. Please let me show you the whole process: 1 Phenomenon when I run a JVM based program in IE browser in my Virtual Machine, I have found clearly that time at the right bottom corner in my VM gets more slower and slower. I studied the bug deeply, and found something below. 2 Xen vmx_vmexit_handler --> ......... -->

Hi, page->tlbflush_timestamp is used to filter and flush the TLB whenever type change of page happens. But why does xen flush TLB upon the type change? And we already know that guest kernel will flush the TLB in order to make the page table modifications take effect. Thanks!

This is a fourth cut of the hypervisor patch of the proposed XENMEM_claim_pages hypercall/subop, taking into account feedback from Jan and Keir and IanC, plus some fixes found via runtime debugging (using privcmd only) and some added comments/cleanup. [Logistical note: I will be out tomorrow (Friday) plus US holidays next week so my responsiveness to comments may be slower for awhile. --djm]

This patch adds a per-node bucket to the heap structure in Xen. During heap initialization the patch determines which bucket to place the memory. We reserve guard pages between node boundaries in the case that said boundary isn''t already guarded by the MAX_ORDER boundary to prevent the buddy allocator from merging pages between nodes. -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology

Address some credit2 issues. This patch series, along with the recent changes to the cpupools interface, should address some of the strange credit2 instability. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

With pretty trivial user mode programs being able to crash the kernel due to the ref counter widths in Xen being more narrow than in Linux, I started an attempt to put together a kernel side fix. While addressing the plain hypercalls is pretty strait forward, dealing with multicalls (both when using them for lazy mmu mode batching and when explicitly using them in e.g. netback - the backends are

Hello everyone, this is the fourth version of the patch series that introduces ARMv7 with virtualization extensions support in Xen. The series allows Xen and Dom0 to boot on a Cortex-A15 based Versatile Express simulator. See the following announce email for more informations about what we are trying to achieve, as well as the original git history: See

After way to many months here is the fifth version of the guest page hinting patches. Compared to version four a few improvements have been added: - Avoid page_host_discards() calls outside of page-states.h - The discard list is now implemented via the page_free_discarded hook and architecture specific code. - PG_state_change page flag has been replaced with architecture specficic
