From 159251a04afcdcd8ca08e9f2bdfae279b2aa5471 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liu Jinsong <jinsong.liu@intel.com> Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 06:38:15 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 4/4] XSA-60 security hole: flush cache when vmentry back to UC guest This patch flush cache when vmentry back to UC guest, to prevent cache polluted by hypervisor access guest memory during UC mode. The elegant way to do this

CPUIDLE: Avoid remnant LAPIC timer intr while force hpetbroadcast LAPIC will stop during C3, and resume to work after exit from C3. Considering below case: The LAPIC timer was programmed to expire after 1000us, but CPU enter C3 after 100us and exit C3 at 9xxus. 0us: reprogram_timer(1000us) 100us: entry C3, LAPIC timer stop 9xxus: exit C3 due to unexpected event, LAPIC timer continue running

This patch allows a core to go to deeper C states

Since lguest was removed, only the native version of wbinvd() is used. The paravirt interface is no longer needed.

This patch series enables the Last Branch Recording feature for the guest. Instead of trapping each LBR stack MSR access, the MSRs are passthroughed to the guest. Those MSRs are switched (i.e. load and saved) on VMExit and VMEntry. Test: Try "perf record -b ./test_program" on guest.

I recently realized that the original way of dealing with the DebugCtl MSR on VMX failed to make use of the dedicated guest VMCS field. This is being fixed with this patch. What is puzzling me to a certain degree is that while there is a guest VMCS field for this MSR, there''s no equivalent host load field, but there''s also no indication that the MSR would be cleared during a

Hi there, I tried to export the names of country to a csv file with write.csv(). In the resulted file, ?land was coverted to <c5>land. Is there any way could prevent this happening? Thanks! > abc [1] "?land" > write.table(abc, file = "") "x" "1" "<c5>land" Best, Jinsong

Hi there, I am a Chinese R user. I hope to display Chinese character in a plot, and than save it in PostScript format. I have read the article titled "Non-Standard Fonts in PostScript and PDF Graphics", especially the section about CJK fonts. I also tried the code: > pdf("chinese.pdf", width=3, height=1) > grid.text("\u4F60\u597D", y=2/3,

Hi, This is updated xen vMCE design foils, according to comments from community recently. This foils focus on vMCE part of Xen MCA, so as Keir said, it''s some dense. Later Will will present a document to elaborate more, including Intel MCA and surrounding features and Xen implementation. Thanks, Jinsong

Intel recently release a new tsc adjust feature at latest SDM 17.13.3. CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported. Basically it is used to simplify TSC synchronization, operation of IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR is as follows: 1). On RESET, the value of the IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR is 0; 2). If an execution of WRMSR to the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR adds (or subtracts) value X from the

When hotplug hvm vcpu by ''xm vcpu-set'' command, if it add/remove many vcpus by 1 ''xm vcpu-set'' command, it has a bug that it cannot add/remove all vcpus that want to be added/removed. This patch is to fix the bug. It delays trigger sci until all xenstore cpu node status are watched. Signed-off-by: Liu, Jinsong <jinsong.liu@intel.com>

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

Dear all, I hope to remove a whole column from a data frame or matrix (> 2000 columns). All value in the column are same. The first thing is to select those columns. For instance, I hope to remove the V3~6 column, for all the value in those colume is zero. V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 V8 V9 V10 1 0 0 0 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 2 0 0 0 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 3 0 0 0
