similar to: [PATCH 0/2] runstate_memory_area on ARM

During context switch is_running is set for the next vcpu before the gic state is actually saved. This leads to possible nasty races when interrupts need to be injected after is_running is set to the next vcpu but before the currently running gic state has been saved from the previous vcpu. Use current instead of is_running to check which one is the currently running vcpu: set_current is called

v6 changes: - Check compiler before using [0] or []. v5 changes: - Fix prototypes in v4v.h for do_v4v_op - Add padding to make sure all the structures are 64 bits aligned - Replace [0] with [] v4 changes: - Stop using ssize_t, use long instead - Return -MSGSIZE for message bigger than 2GB - Fixup size handling - Rename

These two patches were originally part of the XSM series that I have posted, and remain prerequisites for that series. However, they are independent of the XSM changes and are a useful simplification regardless of the use of XSM. The Acked-bys on these patches were provided before rebasing them over the copyback changes in 26268:1b72138bddda, which had minor conflicts that I resolved. [PATCH

Hi all, this patch series introduces stolen ticks accounting for Xen on ARM. Stolen ticks are clocksource ticks that have been "stolen" from the cpu, typically because Linux is running in a virtual machine and the vcpu has been descheduled. To account for these ticks we introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and pv_time_ops so that we can make use of:

When in SYS_STATE_suspend, and going through the cpu_disable_scheduler path, save a copy of the current cpu affinity, and mark a flag to restore it later. Later, in the resume process, when enabling nonboot cpus restore these affinities. v2: Fix formatting problems. remove early return in cpu_disable_scheduler() path. v3: Fix remaining errant tab Move restore_vcpu_affinity() to thaw_domains(),

Hi all, this small patch series implement guest SMP support for ARM, using the ARM PSCI interface for secondary cpu bringup. Stefano Stabellini (4): xen/arm: basic PSCI support, implement cpu_on xen/arm: support for guest SGI xen/arm: support vcpu_op hypercalls xen: move VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info to common code xen/arch/arm/domain.c | 66 ++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi all, this patch series makes the necessary changes to make sure that the current ARM hypercall ABI can be used as-is on 64 bit ARM platforms: - it defines xen_ulong_t as uint64_t on ARM; - it introduces a new macro to handle guest pointers, called XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_PARAM (that has size 4 bytes on aarch and is going to have size 8 bytes on aarch64); - it replaces all the occurrences of

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.

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

I just built 4.3.0 in order to get > 2GB of RAM in domU with GPU passthrough without crashes. Unfortunately, the same crashes still happen. Massive frame buffer corruption on domU before it locks up solid. It seems the PCI memory stomp is still happening. I am using qemu-dm, as I did on Xen 4.2.x. So whatever fix for this went into 4.3.0 didn''t fix it for me. Passing less than 2GB

Hi Keir: These two patches remove the need for netloop by performing the copying in netback and only if it is necessary. The rationale is that most packets will be processed without delay allowing them to be freed without copying at all. So instead of copying every packet destined to dom0 we''ll only copy those that linger longer than a specified amount of time (currently 0.5s). As it
