similar to: cpu frequency scaling in xen 3.3.1

Hi, Is there any documentation on enabling hypervisor support for both C and P-state control? On xen-unstable and linux-2.6.18-xen.hg, if I enable cpuidle=1 on the xen command line and then run xenpm, I will get output for C-states (shown below) but it complains that "Xen cpufreq is not enabled!" cpu id : 0 total C-states : 2 idle time(ms) : 73264 C0

Hi! Attached patch makes xen-tools and stubdom-dm going independent from hardcoded pathes. It is no possible to install into /usr/local or any other non-default directory and use it out-of-the box. This allows us to have different Xen versions in different directories, simplifies packaging for distributions. It also finds ''hvmloader'' and

Hi everyone, When I set CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR, CONFIG_CPU_IDLE and CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE to y then I cannot boot Xen; there is a crash. If I turn CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE off then the boot goes well and, after dom0 has booted, xenpm works and gives some sane output, see below. I have tested this with kernels 3.2 to 3.4.6. Is it impossible to use INTEL_IDLE with Xen? If this is a known issue then maybe

Currently, enable/disable turbo mode on AMD is broken: $ xenpm enable-turbo-mode 0 <-- works and proper CPU MSR bit is set $ xenpm enable-turbo-mode 1 <-- silently broken, MSR bit not set Since ->turbo is per policy, when user requests to enable/disable turbo mode, we need to set the bit in all of the ->cpus that this policy affects. --- xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpufreq/powernow.c | 2

Hello, I''ve tried to get the CPUFreq plugin of collectd running in dom0. But I mentioned that it isn''t so easy to get a file in sysfs on the rigth place. I know that the value has to come from hypervisor and I''ve seen the code in xenpm. The only value I need is "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq" which would create cpufreq.c. Can anyone

Currently cpufreq and xenpm are out of sync. Fix cpufreq reporting of if turbo mode is enabled or not. Fix xenpm to not decode for tristate, but a boolean.

Hi, All, I have some problem of using dvfs in Xen 3.4.1 and 2.6.18 kernel. I enabled Speed option in BIOS and add "cpufreq=xen" in the grub file. But when I entered my dom0 and type "xenpm get-cpufreq-XXX" (any xenpm argument), it returns "[CPU0] failed to get CPU P state". I am wondering if I should enable some feature of 2.6.18 during the kernel configuration.

Xen Community: As many of you are aware, the Xen 4.0 hypervisor is due to ship tomorrow (shhhh, don''t tell anyone) and I wanted to get submissions underway for Xen 4.1 features. I have updated the Roadmap Wiki page (http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenRoadMap) with a new section for Xen 4.1 features to be added. Feel free to add your ideas or send me your features and I will update the

Does anyone know what is the latest version of dom0-kernel, that supports fully xenpm hypercalls? I tried from 3.0 to 3.3 with xen-4.1.3, but none of them has xenpm working. On the other hand native kernel cpufreq is OK with all of them. My CPU is Xeon family 6 on PowerEdge 1950 III box. Regards, Dimitar Kazakov

- use consistent error values (stop mixing of [positive] errno values with literal -E... ones) - properly format output - don''t use leading zeros in decimal output - move printing of average frequency into P-state conditional (rather than a C-state one) - don''t print some C-state related info when CPU idle management is disabled in the hypervisor - use calloc() for array

Jup, 64 Bit Kernel build is done now and works, but 32 Bit kernel config is different, as I use 64 Bit in Dom0 and DomU, 32 Bit only in DomU incl. DomU with DVB etc. XEN options are the same, it''s only the selection of drivers... Andrew, any idea? Boris, do you know a safe way to create a 64 Bit config out of a 32 Bit one? Sorry, I am not so used to kernel building... BR, Carsten.

Hey, I''m experiencing strange problem: non-deterministic PV domain hang, only on some machines (with fast SSD drive).
