similar to: [PATCH RFC] add domain builder support for bzImage kernels

I have just applied this to staging-4.1. Since my own backport and Bastian''s were entirely identical, I haven''t tested it other than to compile it...

xc_dom_alloc_page deals with virtual address not physical address. When an ELF is loaded, virtual address and physical address may be different.

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.

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,

Biggest change is to switch the new DTB node to /xen-core-devices instead of /xen at Stefano''s request. I also dropped the few patches title HACK etc which weren''t supposed to be there and fixed up some bits and pieces which folks commented on. George, WRT the freeze I think this is functionality which we cannot ship Xen 4.4 without. The impact is entirely constrained to the

Here are two patches that let xm create, save and restore extract and preserve elfnotes read by the domain builder. This is handy for a few things. In particular, I''d like it so that xm can decide whether or not guest domains support fast resume (if save fails, or for checkpointing). _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hi all, I have recently started to go through xen source. I want to know the usage of XEN_GUEST_HANDLE. I see thats its just a macro which will prefix each data type with __guest_handle_ . And DEFINE_XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(name) will just typedefs ''__guest_handle_name'' to be a pointer to a data type ''name '' . What is the reason for such abstraction? And how

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, This is a trivial patch which adds the two fields to start_info_t for the shared page and event channel port for the share. Feel free to destroy this in any way. The python binding just fills zeros in for the moment, making it harmless. Mike Wray has a nicer version in his tree, but this is the minimal version. (Thanks to Mike for the .esp fix, too). Cheers, Rusty. diff -ur

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
