similar to: [PATCH v6 00/16] xen: arm: 64-bit guest support and domU FDT autogeneration

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.

This series of patches makes Xen pass a (somewhat) valid device tree to dom0. The device tree for dom0 is the same as the one supplied to Xen except the memory and chosen nodes are adjusted appropriately. We don''t yet make use of the device tree to map MMIO regions or setup interrupts for the guest and we still include the UART used for Xen''s console. Note that loading Linux

I am trying to extract and combine the various pieces of information found in [1] and its sub-pages and the Xen in-tree documentation in order to make xen boot (potentially non-smp without some later changes). But since I am not familiar enough with Arm I think I am stuck doing something wrong. I compiled the hypervisor with debug and early printk for midway and use the xen.bin file (I could get

First off, Apologies for the massive patch series... This series boots a 32-bit dom0 kernel to a command prompt on an ARMv8 (AArch64) model. The kernel is the same one as I am currently using with the 32 bit hypervisor I haven''t yet tried starting a guest or anything super advanced like that ;-). Also there is not real support for 64-bit domains at all, although in one or two places I

Hi, I was wondering if there is any documentation on how to write a bare metal application for Xen. I don''t need to parse the device tree and such yet, a simple booting "Hello World" would be fine :-) We wrote one and when trying to boot we get ( this was an uncompressed binary, no image): libxl: notice: libxl_numa.c:451:libxl__get_numa_candidate: NUMA placement failed,

This round implements all of the review comments from V2 and all patches are now acked. Unless there are any objections I intend to apply later this morning. Ian.

This is a patch to forward-port a Xend behaviour. Xend writes IO ABI used for all frontends. Blkfront before 2.6.26 relies on this behaviour otherwise guest cannot boot when running in 32-on-64 mode. Blkfront after 2.6.26 writes that node itself, in which case it''s just an overwrite to an existing node which should be OK. In fact Xend writes the ABI for all frontends including console

Hi all, I noticed that upstream UEFI is now supported ARMv8 on FastModel. I’ve tried it to boot Linux with it. And it works. But it seems it still cannot load Xen hypervisor properly. I’m now looking for the reasons. Is there any difference for a firmware to load Xen and Linux kernel? Cheers, Baozi

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.

Hi, Now that the Arndale board is supported in upstream Xen I don''t get any output on the serial console. I followed the instructions on the wiki with no luck: The xen repository I''m using is: git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git last commit: 61c6dfce3296da2643c4c4f90eaab6fa3c1cf8b3 The linux repository is: git://xenbits.xen.org/people/julieng/linux-arm.git last commit:

Hi Ian, can we push multiboot v2 support for Xen/ARM still into 4.3? It looks like it can coexists with zImage in the same binary - the multiboot structure can be put just behind the zImage header and the code can determine how it has been started: zImage bootloaders clears r0, multiboot one''s would set r0 to the MB magic. I will sketch a patch tomorrow, just wondering if we can have

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 -

Hi, This is the fifth version of this patch series. With the Versatile Express TC2, it''s possible to boot only with A7 or A15. If the user choose to boot with only A7, the CPU ID will start at 0x100. As Xen relies on it to set the logical ID and the GIC, it won''t be possible to use Xen with this use case. This patch series is divided in 3 parts: - Patch 1: prepare Xen
