Hi, V6: The only change from V5 is in patch #6: - changed comment to reflect autoxlate - removed a redundant ASSERT - reworked logic a bit so that get_page_from_gfn() is called with NULL for p2m type as before. arm has ASSERT wanting it to be NULL. Tim: patch 4 needs your approval. Daniel: patch 5 needs your approval. These patches implement PVH dom0. Patches 1 and 2

This patch series restores the use of superpages when restoring or migrating a VM, while retaining efficient batching of 4k pages when superpages are not appropriate or available.

While looking at the origin of very frequently executed hypercalls (as usual, kernel builds are what''s being measured), I realized that the high page accessor functions in Linux would be good candidates to handle in the hypervisor - clearing or copying to/from a high page is a pretty frequent operation (provided there''s enough memory). However, the measured results

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

I''ve encountered a rather unusual bug while I''m implementing live migration on arndale board. After resume, domU kernel starts invoking hypercalls and at some point the hypercall parameters delivered to xen are corrupted. After some debugging (with the help of HW debugger), I found that cache polution happens, and here is the detailed sequence. 1) DomU kernel allocates a local

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

Coverity generates false positives when read_atomic() and write_atomic() are called with pointers to objects smaller than 64 bits (because it can''t see that the 64-bit access in the switych statement is dead code). I don''t want to automatically suppress all ofthose, because read_atomic() and write_atomic() could still be called with mis-cast pointers, but for atomic_t accessors

Add hypercall (shadow op: enable/disable and clean/peek dirtied page bitmap). It consists of two parts: dirty page detecting and saving. For detecting, we setup the guest p2m''s leaf PTE read-only and whenever the guest tries to write something, permission fault happens and traps into xen. The permission-faulted GPA should be saved for the toolstack (when it wants to see which pages

Make sure MFN read from pte is valid before accessing the page info structure associated with it. Drop guest-to-machine-physical translation from ptwr code.

Populate-on-demand: Check pages being returned by the balloon driver This patch series is the second result of my work last summer on decreasing fragmentation of superpages in a guests'' p2m when using populate-on-demand. This patch series is against 4.1; I''m posting it to get feedback on the viability of getting a ported version of this patch into 4.2. As with the previous

Hi, Olaf we have tested the xenpaging feature and found some problems. (1) the test case like this : when we start a VM with POD enable, the xenpaging is started at the same time. this case will cause many problems ,finally, we fixed the BUG, the patch is attached below. (2) there is a very serious problem. we have observed many VM crash examples, the error code is not always the same.

hi, what''s the best way (if at all) to iterate through all of a domain''s page tables within xen 2.0.6? i need to find all references to a specific pte value (which is a given). essentially, a reverse page-table lookup. i''m hesitant to switch to 3.0, but if it''s easier to do what i want, just let me know. thanks, -A. -- Aaron Marks Distributed Systems Lab

__map_domain_page() *must* be matched with an unmap_domain_page(). These five static inline functions each map a page (or two), then throw away the context needed to unmap it. Each of the changes are limited to their respective functions. In two cases, this involved replacing a large amount of pointer arithmetic with memcpy() (all callers were relying on memcpy() semantics of positive/negative

Hi, Can anybody shed light on the Xen function map_domain_page (in xen/arch/x86/x86_32/domain_page.c)? What is it doing? Jinpeng Wei _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

From: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> With virtual EPT support, L1 hyerpvisor can use EPT hardware for L2 guest''s memory virtualization. In this way, L2 guest''s performance can be improved sharply. According to our testing, some benchmarks can show > 5x performance gain.

Hi, I am trying to release domU pages from page_list and xenpage_list after domU shutdown while retaining the rest of the domain information. To achieve this in __domain_finalise_shutdown i call domain_relinquish_resources. This is failing to release pages from page_list for type PGT_l2_page_tables and crashing dom0. To be specific, while testing on mini-os i saw that when

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
