If m.num is too large then the "m.num * sizeof(*m.arr)" multiplication could overflow and the access_ok() check wouldn't test the right size.

Hi Ian/Stefano, So, I''m back to using pfn space from maxphysaddr below. Stefano, you suggested ballooning, but that would be just too slow. There are lot of pages to be mapped, 4k at a time during guest creation, and I am afraid ballooning and hypercalls to populate EPT will be pretty slow. OTOH, there is tons of address space available between max-physaddr and max pfn in dom0. Stefano,

Hi, I implemented my own Hypercall in xen. Now I wish my application under dom0 could talk to Xen via my hypercall. Currently, I make a stub in dom0''s kernel, which works as a proxy to forward the request. So, my application first makes a system call to dom0, which then makes hypercall to xen. Is this design necessary? May I call hypercalls from user application under dom0 directly?

Hi, All Intel QA conducted a full validation for xen 4.1 rc1, it includes VT-x, VT-d, SRIOV, RAS, TXT and xl tools testing. 24 issues were exposed. Refer the bug list, please. We already assigned 14 bugs to Intel developers (which has an ''Intel'' tag in the bug title), most of the rest 10 bugs are related xl command. For the these bugs, need community''s help to fix

Please CC as I''m not subscribed to valgrind-developers. Under Xen the toolstack is responsible for managing the domains in the system, e.g. creating, destroying, and otherwise manipulating them. To do this it uses a number of ioctls on the /proc/xen/privcmd device. Most of these (the MMAPBATCH ones) simply set things up such that a subsequenct mmap call will map the desired guest

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> The high resolution timer code gets notified of step changes to the system time with clock_was_set() or clock_was_set_delayed() calls. If other parts of the kernel require similar notification there is no clear place to hook into. Add a clock_was_set atomic notifier chain (clock_was_set_notifier_list) and call this in place of clock_was_set().

This series implements ballooning for Xen on ARM and builds and Mukesh''s PVH privcmd stuff to implement foreign page mapping on ARM, replacing the old "HACK: initial (very hacky) XENMAPSPACE_gmfn_foreign" patch. The baseline is a bit complex, it is basically Stefano''s xenarm-forlinus branch (commit bbd6eb29214e) merged with Konrad''s linux-next-pvh branch

Where is the code that maps the kernel of a DomU into memory? i.e, when you do a xm create <config file> what code is called to actually map the kernel into memory? Is it a python script or is it re-directed to Dom0 to do? Thanks. -Brian --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo! Autos.

Thanks. I have already previewed the xenctrl.h. The following is what I understand: libxc is compiled to a file name after 'xc**' endding with '.so', xend communicates with domain0 through xc and domain0 communicates with hypervisor through privcmd.
