similar to: Switching to user mode from domU kernel

I''m porting a light weight kernel to run under the Xen hypervisor and have run into a problem while trying to switch to my page tables on x86-64. After a minor problem with switching to the new PML4 table that was cleared up when Mark Williamson suggested mapping everything read-only in the current map before switching, as well as switching the memory management code to use the

Hi all, Does anyone have thoughts on extending v->arch.hvm_vcpu.single_step to support pre-MTF systems, in a way that would mimic the MTF? So far I''m emulating PUSHF/POPF to hide the hypervisor''s trap flag, and eventually I''ll multiplex it down to the guest, but I''m having issues. Right now, I''m enabling X86_EFLAGS_TF in vmx_intr_assist, just like

The winbind now works...my getent passwd & groups returns the domain users/groups What should be the next step? my clients (Win2K & Win9x) are still prompting for a password and I cannot login to my linux box using DOMAIN*domainuser. Must I add each domain user as a user on the linux box? Regards Winston Nimchan -----Original Message----- From: Sean Trammell

This set of patches converts the way frames gets created from using PUSHes/POPs to using MOVes, thus allowing (in certain cases) to avoid saving/restoring part of the register set. While the place where the (small) win from this comes from varies between CPUs, the net effect is a 1 to 2% reduction on a combined interruption entry and exit when the full state save can be avoided. 1: use MOV

Hi, This is the Xen implementation for the paravirt_ops interface. The series is based on 2.6.22-rc1-mm1, and I think its ready to be cooked in -mm with a view to being merged in 2.6.23. The first part of the series is some small changes to the core kernel. Apart from the new code added in "Allocate and free vmalloc areas" (posted many times before), they are simply a few one-liners

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-git3 + ff patches-2.6.21-git3-070501-1.tar.gz. Changes since the last posting: - reviews of xenbus (me), netfront (hch, rusty, herbert xu) and blockfront (hch), with most comments addressed. Netfront review revealed a couple of real bugs, and the code for all three is looking cleaner

Hi, I''m trying to use the SYSCALL/SYSRET opcodes with a minios kernel without much success. Going by the manuals (and linux sources) I first have to setup the STAR and LSTAR registers to define the segment and instruction pointer to be used for SYSCALL: /* * LSTAR and STAR live in a bit strange symbiosis. * They both write to the same internal register. STAR allows

The following series of 10 patches is a merge of the xenfb and xenconsoled functionality into the qemu-dm code. The general approach taken is to have qemu-dm provide two machine types - one for xen paravirt, the other for fullyvirt. For compatability the later is the default. The goals overall are to kill LibVNCServer, remove alot of code duplication and/or parallel impls of the same concepts, and

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-rc7 + your patches + the last batch of pv_ops patches I posted. This patch generally restricts itself to Xen-specific parts of the tree, though it does make a few small changes elsewhere. These patches include: - some helper routines for allocating address space and walking pagetables - Xen

Natural fallout after my recent testsuite additions that fixed a couple of ocaml bugs in the setters. However, on at least the OCaml code, I'm not sure what we should do if a newer libnbd ever returns a bit that an older NBD.mli was not expecting at the time the OCaml compiler ran (see below). I'm also not sure if there is a more efficient way to avoid outputting Val_FOO() converters for
