similar to: [PATCH] Xen Guest Kexec

Hi, This set of patches contains initial kexec/kdump implementation for Xen v2 (previous version were posted to few people by mistake; sorry for that). Currently only dom0 is supported, however, almost all infrustructure required for domU support is ready. Jan Beulich suggested to merge Xen x86 assembler code with baremetal x86 code. This could simplify and reduce a bit size of kernel code.

Does anyone know if the Xen 3.1.0 kernels as distributed in the "open source" tarballs (x86_64 version) are vulnerable to the recently-announced vulnerability CVE-2007-4573? IF so, is there any plan to release patched tarballs anytime soon? Thanks Steve Timm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven C.

Hi all, Here I am sending as attachments patches enabling kexec/kdump support in Xen PV domU. Only x84_64 architecture is supported. There is no support for i386 but some code could be easily reused. Here is a description of patches: - kexec-tools-2.0.3_20120522.patch: patch for kexec-tools which cleanly applies to version 2.0.3, - kexec-kernel-only_20120522.patch: main kexec/kdump kernel

vmcoreinfo file could exists under /sys/kernel (valid on baremetal only) and/or under /sys/hypervisor (valid when Xen dom0 is running). Read only one of them. It means that only one PT_NOTE will be always created. Remove extra code for second PT_NOTE creation.

Hi, In the case of linux, crash_kexec() is occured by "sysrq c". In the case of DomainU on xen, Help is occured by "sysrq c" now. So The way of dumping DomainU''s memory manualy is nothing. I fix this issue by the following way. 1. Panic is occured by "sysrq c" on both Domain0 and DomainU. 2. On DomainU, coredump is generated in /var/xen/dump (on Domain0).

Hi, --- background ---------------------------------------------------- * what the makedumpfile is: To shorten the size of the dumpfile and the time of creating the dumpfile, makedumpfile copies only the necessary pages for analysis to the dumpfile from /proc/vmcore. You can specify the kind of unnecessary pages with dump_level. If you want to shorten the size further, enable the
