similar to: [PATCH] x86/HVM: key handler registration functions can be __init

This patch adds a new ''w'' debug-key, chosen from the limited remaining keys only due to its proximity to ''q'', that dumps the console ring to configured console devices. It''s useful to for tracking down how an unresponsive system got into a broken state via serial console. Signed-off-by: Matt Wilson <msw@amazon.com> diff -r bd953fda6106 -r

This series consists of improvements to Xen''s ability to print traces of its own stack, and specifically for the stack overflow case to be able to use frame pointers in a debug build. I have dev tested the series in debug and non-debug cases, with and without memory guards, and I believe that all the stack traces look correct. However, I would greatly appreciate a second opinion on the

From: Yang Zhang <yang.z.zhang@Intel.com> The follwoing patches are adding the Posted Interrupt supporting to Xen: Posted Interrupt allows vAPIC interrupts to inject into guest directly without any vmexit. - When delivering a interrupt to guest, if target vcpu is running, update Posted-interrupt requests bitmap and send a notification event to the vcpu. Then the vcpu will handle this

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

This patch removes the __init modifier from an extern function declaration in acpi.h. Besides not being strictly needed, it requires the inclusion of linux/init.h, which is usually not even included directly, increasing header mess by a lot.

Hi folks, This patchset adds vhost-blk support. vhost-blk is a in kernel virito-blk device accelerator. Compared to userspace virtio-blk implementation, vhost-blk gives about 5% to 15% performance improvement.

I''m afraid this series is rather a grab bag and it is distressingly large at this stage. With this series I can boot an Xgene board until it fails to find its SATA controller. This is a dom0 issue for which patches are pending from APM (/me nudges Anup). As well as the APM specific platform stuff there are also some generic improvements which were either necessary or useful during this

The device name prefix for IDE hard drives used to be `ad' but now is `ada' (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-naming.html). For virtio hard drives it is `vtbd'. Under an MBR partition table a slice will be used, so the name of the first partitions will be either `ada0s1a' or `vtbd0s1a'. Under a GPT partition table, where no slice is needed, the name of the first

I''m sure everyone has seen the drop of VMI patches for Linux at this point, but just in case, the link is included below. I''ve read this version of the VMI spec and have made my way through most of the patches. While I wasn''t really that impressed with the first spec wrt Xen, the second version seems to be much more palatable. Specifically, the code inlining and
