similar to: [PATCH V3] libxl: write IO ABI for disk frontends

I''ve addressed all (I think/hope) of the review comments. The main change is to expose the guest virtual platform (e.g. memory layout and interrupt usage etc) to the toolstack via the public interface. This is then used during FDT generation. I have just codified the current defacto standard layout, it''s probably not the best layout but any change can be a separate patch/series.

Biggest change is to switch the new DTB node to /xen-core-devices instead of /xen at Stefano''s request. I also dropped the few patches title HACK etc which weren''t supposed to be there and fixed up some bits and pieces which folks commented on. George, WRT the freeze I think this is functionality which we cannot ship Xen 4.4 without. The impact is entirely constrained to the

Hi, I''m running Xen 4.2.0 with Linux kernel 3.7.0 and I''m seeing a flood of these messages in xen dmesg: (XEN) traps.c:3156: GPF (0060): ffff82c480159247 -> ffff82c4802170e4 (XEN) traps.c:3156: GPF (0060): ffff82c480159247 -> ffff82c4802170e4 (XEN) traps.c:3156: GPF (0060): ffff82c480159247 -> ffff82c4802170e4 (XEN) traps.c:3156: GPF (0060): ffff82c480159247 ->

Hi, I''m trying to get Windows Server 2008 R2 installation booting on Xen 4.0.4. Using the following config: kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder = "hvm" shadow_memory = "8" memory = "4096" name = "ts" vcpus = "8" cpus = ["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5",

This patch series is a reworking of a series developed by Mukesh Rathor at Oracle. The entirety of the design and development was done by him; I have only reworked, reorganized, and simplified things in a way that I think makes more sense. The vast majority of the credit for this effort therefore goes to him. This version is labelled v13 because it is based on his most recent series, v11.

The following two patches allow the parallel use of memsharing, xenpaging and xen-access by using an independent ring buffer for each feature. Please review. v2: - update mem_event_check_ring arguments, check domain rather than domain_id - check ring_full first because its value was just evaluated - check if ring buffer is initialized before calling mem_access_domctl/mem_paging_domctl

ging_prep ensures that an mfn is backing the paged-out gfn, and transitions to the next state in the paging state machine for this page. Foreign mappings of the gfn will now succeed. This is the key idea, as it allows the pager to now map the gfn and fill in its contents. Unfortunately, it also allows any other foreign mapper to map the gfn and read its contents. This is particularly dangerous

xc_dom_alloc_page deals with virtual address not physical address. When an ELF is loaded, virtual address and physical address may be different.

The following two patches are about how to speed up in xenpaging when page in pages. On suse11-64 with 4G memory,if we page out 2G pages,it will cost about 15.5 seconds, but take 2088 seconds to finish paging in.If page-in costs too much time,it will cause unmesurable problems when vm or dom0 access the paged_out page,such as BSOD,crash. What鈥檚 more,the dom0 is always in high I/O pressure.

Changes from v3: - mini-os configuration files moved into stubdom/ - mini-os extra console support now a config option - Fewer #ifdefs - grant table setup uses hypercall bounce - Xenstore stub domain syslog support re-enabled Changes from v2: - configuration support added to mini-os build system - add mini-os support for conditionally compiling frontends, xenbus -

This patch allows core-dumping to work on a cross-bit host/guest configuration, whereas previously that was not supported. It supports both PV and FV guests. The core file format generated by the host, needs to match that of the guest, so an alignment issue is addressed, along with the p2m frame list handling being done according to the guest size.

Hi, All Intel QA conducted a full validation for xen 4.1 rc1, it includes VT-x, VT-d, SRIOV, RAS, TXT and xl tools testing. 24 issues were exposed. Refer the bug list, please. We already assigned 14 bugs to Intel developers (which has an ''Intel'' tag in the bug title), most of the rest 10 bugs are related xl command. For the these bugs, need community''s help to fix

This patch series adds support for preservation of the VM generation ID buffer address in xenstore across save/restore and migrate, and also code to increment the value in all cases except for migration. Patch 1 modifies the guest ro and rw node creation to an open coding style and cleans up some extraneous node creation. Patch 2 modifies creation of the hvmloader key in xenstore and adds

While doing migration, sometimes found suspend lock file was not unlinked in previous operations, then there is an obsolete lock file in place, which causes the current and later migration cannot get lock. That happens seldomly but do happen. After checking the source code, I found there are some places that potentially cause lock file unlinked, including: 1) in lock_suspend_event() function,

This patch series adds support for preservation of the VM generation ID buffer address in xenstore across save/restore and migrate, and also code to increment the value in all cases except for migration. The vast majority of the code is in second patch. The first patch merely changes the xenstore key name used by hvmloader to store the buffer address.

I''m using the CentOS 6 bundle of xen from http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/xen-c6/ and ran into an issue when creating domains with multiple VHD tap disks. Comparing unstable to the 4.2.1 code I''m using, it seems this issue still applies. I''m using a configuration line that looks something like disk = [
