Hi, I'm instresting with the PVH mode, is there any wiki available to boot up a PVH guest? I used the following source code to compile the xen and dom0. I have tried adding pvh=1 in xl.cfg file as pv mode, but guest still uses qemu device model. This patch series can also be pulled from this git tree: git://xenbits.xen.org/people/gdunlap/xen.git out/pvh-v15 The kernel code for PVH guests

Hello @ all, i wonder if there is any support for Xen PVH (https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Software_Overview) within libvirt. If i parse a xen native domU config file with 'virsh domxml-from-native' in which i set type='pvh' it changes it in the libvirt xml output to normal pv. Also the docs of libvirt do not state something like pvh. I am currently running Xen 4.10.0 with

This information will be mirrored on the Xen 4.4 Roadmap wiki page: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Roadmap/4.4 Our timeline had us start the code freeze last Friday. However, we have not released an RC0 because we have been waiting for PVH dom0 support. Adding bug fixes during RCs makes sense, but RC0 should contain all of the functionality we expect to be in the final release. PVH dom0 support

George, since you asked on Friday, I though about the situation some more over the weekend. On PV, the requirement to trap all INs and OUTs is a result from us needing the enforce two levels of restrictions - Xen''s and the guest kernel''s. I.e. we can''t make use of the hardware''s access control mechanisms, as we can''t put two I/O bit maps in place, and

The aim of this patch is to define a stable way in which PVH is going to do AP bringup. Since we are running inside of a HVM container, PVH should only need to set flags, cr3 and user_regs in order to bring up a vCPU, the rest can be set once the vCPU is started using the bare metal methods. Additionally, the guest can also set cr0 and cr4, and those values will be appended to the default values

Hello, I''ve had a look at PVH support, and I have a few questions: - events are still dispatched the PV way through the callback, right? - I guess FPU errors don''t trigger an INT13, so I don''t need to handle that? - How about the console and store MFNs from the boot info? Are they still MFNs, or actually PFNs? - How about PV network in non-copy mode? It used to be

It was decided during xen patch review that xen map the iomem transparently, so remove xen_set_clr_mmio_pvh_pte() and the sub hypercall PHYSDEVOP_map_iomem. --- arch/x86/xen/mmu.c | 14 -------------- arch/x86/xen/setup.c | 16 ++++------------ include/xen/interface/physdev.h | 10 ---------- 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) diff --git

This patch set should make it easier to maintain PV-GRUB2 installations. The general idea is based on discussions I had with Xen developers (mainly Ian Jackson) at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in May 2011; though I never did manage to get the core port done and Vladimir beat me to that, I think the configuration approach we discussed there is still valid and useful. The idea here is that people

Hey all, We've been on 4.9 for some time now, and while it's still supported, I think it's time to start thinking about upgrading, and I'd like input from the community about which version to move up to. 4.19 has been out for almost 5 months now. It will include PVH domU support, and PVH dom0 support in what _is believed_ to be the final form; so when the Virt SIG moves to a

But, it's not working. I get this error Error in match.fun(FUN) : element 1 is empty; the part of the args list of 'is.function' being evaluated was: (FUN) which, to

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.

From: Mukesh Rathor <mukesh.rathor@oracle.com> Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the assembler from putting null char after each string before \.

Hello, The Xen community is working on a new virtualization mode (or maybe I should say an extension of HVM) to be able to run PV guests inside HVM containers without requiring a device-model (Qemu). One of the advantages of this new virtualization mode is that now it is much more easier to port guests to run under it (as compared to pure PV guests). Given that FreeBSD already supports
