similar to: Re: [Xen-changelog] Move xcs to unix domain sockets.

Just forwarding this changelog from yesterday. xcs now uses Unix domain sockets in unstable. This was a hot thread a couple months back with strong opinions on both sides and no clear resolution on the list, so I thought some people might like to know the developers'' resolution. This should be good news for those seeking tighter dom0''s, particularly those who

Currently xcs is run by xend in xen-unstable by simply making it a child process. If you launch xend from an ssh session, the session won''t exit because the xcs still is connected to it''s controlling terminal. xcs should daemonize itself to prevent this from happening. This patch does that along with making the domain id => port mapping dynamically allocated. Regards, --

I cleaned up the top level makefile in the tools directory. No major changes. Except I have it so that ioemmu is compiled only with x86_32.

Hi, Is there some easy way to install both 2.x and unstable xen tools at the same machine? Seems /usr is hardcoded everythere in the tools Makefiles, looks like there is no easy way to put them to different paths (say, prefix /opt/xen2 and /opt/xen3) :-/ Gerd _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Introduce a write acessor for updating the current LDT. This is required for hypervisors like Xen that do not allow LDT pages to be directly written. Testing - here's a fun little LDT test that can be trivially modified to test limits as well. /* * Copyright (c) 2005, Zachary Amsden (zach@vmware.com) * This is licensed under the GPL. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h>

Hello, I''m trying to get PDB working in accordance with the instructions at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sos22/replay.bk/docs/misc/XenDebugger-HOWTO and a message from this list: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2004-08/msg00017.html When I try to build pdb I first get errors because the Makefile is configured to treat warnings as errors, and there are some warnings.

Hi there! I was wondering what the general opinion on autotoolizing xen is? I am volunteering to do so, if there is interest in updating the build system to use autoconf, automake and/or libtool. Is one configure script for all of xen enough or do you want to be able to configure all/some tools separately? I know that Anthony is no fan of libtool... are there more reservations about some

Hi *, i am coming from UML, and now i evaluate Xen on my desktop: Xen-2.0.4 linux-2.6.10 "CONFIG_MODULES is not set" "CONFIG_AGP is not set" "CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y" FC3, [/usr]/lib/tls moved away It works, but some desktop applications crash once in a while within dom0: metacity-2.8.6 firefox-1.0.1 wnck-applet (from gnome-panel-2.8.1) But

google yields nothing except for indicating that it is a boot loader problem. my dom0 partition is on a 9 GB SCSI disk drive. I have a raid1 device (md0) which I have created a series of partitions via lvm2. on boot, xm create /etc/xen/xm-single -c I get what looks like a normal boot until TCP: Hash tables configured (established 4096 bind 8192) NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET:

Hi all, With the new vm-tools we are trying to get top like capabilities going correctly. Currently we have a program vm-list that has some of this capability but is dependent on the cpu time given by libxc calls (xc_get_dom_info & xc_domain_get_cpu_usage). These two functions give you how much time (in nanoseconds, why is this not documented) the domain has been actively used. Approaches:

Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0: a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros. b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.) c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them. d. Change the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros. Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert

Hi, I''m using xen on two-node redhat cluster (CVS devel version), using lvm as storage backend. redhat cluster is used to synchronize LVM metadata (using clvmd) and as storage for domain configs and dom-U kernels (with gfs). Latest version of redhat cluster works with xen-2.0.4, but not with xen-2.0-testing. ccsd failed to start on 2.0-testing. Anyone knows what the problem is? I

Hi. I have a Shuttle box with an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ and 1GB of RAM. I''m normally running it with Debian sarge/sid and kernel 2.6.10-1-k7, as built by Debian. I want to use Xen on it. I built a xen0 kernel which is as close to the Debian kernel as I can (no power management, no HPET timers, broken ISA drivers disabled), disabled /lib/tls, and booted with the new kernel. Everything works.

Hi folks, I have OpenVPN (respect for it developers) running on my FW. Is has two external NICs and on internal everything is fine, except I want OpenVPN (UDP port 1194) going not via default route/network interface. I use such commands: iptables -t mangle -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p udp --dport 1194 -j MARK --set-mark 0x990 ip rule add fwmark 0x990
