In a virtualized environment, virtual machines will time share the system with each other and with other processes running on the host system. Therefore, a VM's virtual CPUs (VCPUs) will be executing on the host's physical CPUs (pcpus) for only some portion of time. The VMI exposes a paravirtual view of time to the guest operating systems so that they may operate more effectively in a

Hello all, Here's a new version of the paravirt_ops x86_64 patch. With this message, I'm sending an incremental patch. The complete patches can be found , from now on, at http://et.redhat.com/~gcosta/paravirt_ops/ The main aim of this new update, is to fix a critical bug, namely, Rusty's name. However, I took the opportunity to write some new less important pieces of code,

Hi all, I've been working on a port of paravirt_ops for the x86_64 architectures for a couple of days. Here's the result so far. I'm posting it soon for early cooments. The more, the better. It's obviously based on the previous work for i386, with the needed modifications. By now, I'm able to boot a bare metal kernel, but there are still some known issues, that are in my TODO

The custom_sched_clock hook is broken. The result from sched_clock needs to be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles. The TSC is insufficient for this purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled). To make the scheduler

This version over last version: (1) Gets rid of the no_paravirt.h header and leaves native ops in place (with some reshuffling to keep then under one #ifdef). (2) Fixes the "X crashes with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y" bug. (3) Puts __ex_table entry in paravirt iret. Another followup patch implements binary patching... Rusty. === Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which

OK, this is the revised paravirt.h (Andi has seen this before), then the second is the binary patching stuff. More things get added to the paravirt struct in future patches, but this basic stuff hasn't changed for some time. ==== This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are function

I am porting llvm-gcc frontend. We have ported GCC4.2 for our target. So I move *.h *.md and *.c to llvm-gcc.  I do not implement any LLVM MACRO, and use default action of llvm-gcc.  I get a new llvm-gcc for our target. But I get a bug. /******************************/ //#include <stdio.h> union MYunion {   unsigned char uc ;   int ui; } myunion; void vfu1(union MYunion  u) {     u.ui =

Dear R helpers Suppose val1 = c(10, 20, 35, 80, 12) val2 = c(3, 8, 11, 7) I want to select either val1 or val2 depending on value of third quantity val3. val3 assumes either of the values "Monthly" or "Yearly". If val3 = "Monthly", then val = val1 and if val3 = "Yearly", then val = val2. I tried the ifelse statement as ifelse(val3 =

When CONFIG_PARAVIRT is enabled, the kernel is ignoring exceptions on the {rd,wr}msr instructions. This makes serious issues (either on the guest kernel, or on the host) be silently ignored, and is different from the native MSR code (which does not ignore the exceptions). As paravirt.h already includes linux/bug.h, I don't see what was the original issue preventing BUG_ON from being used.

Hi Zsombor, Thanks for the patch! Unfortunately I can't apply it because the llvm API has moved from BinaryOperator::create to BinaryOperator::Create. Are you using svn head? Now on the x86_64 part. There has been very little work on porting vmkit on x86_64. If you're having compilation problems, I suppose it's in the garbage collector directory (GCMmap2). If you could make the
