similar to: gdbserver-xen fix for vmx gustes

Hi Keir, Ian, Today if we stop the guest for debugging using the gdbserver and then continue with the guest execution the PIT finds that the time has gone ahead and it missed to inject so many timer ticks, and it tries to inject all of those one by one. So after the gdb continue command the guest just handles the timer interrupts for a long time before it can do anything else. This patch

Hi Ian, Keir This patch enaables the ejection of the physical cdrom tray, when user enters "eject cdrom" in the control console of a VMX guest.

Is this PAE or non-PAE? Please can you try forceing emulation mode by toggling the "#if 0" in arch/x86/mm.c ptwr_do_page_fault The other thing to try is modifying set_pte_pfn_ma to call xen_l1_update rather than set_pte. You could try set_pte_at too. This will help narrow down the issue. Thanks, Ian > Keir, Ian, > With PCI mmconfig option on, and with the PCI express >

Keir, Ian, With PCI mmconfig option on, and with the PCI express enabled BIOS, the dom0 kernel reads the PCI config from fix-mapped PCI mmconfig space. The PCI mmconfig space is of 256MB size, and it''s access is implemented differently on i386 & x86_64. On x86_64 the whole 256MB is mapped in the Kernel virtual address space. On i386 it will consume too much of the kernels

Keir, The checks in the function passive_domain_do_rdmsr() were not sufficient. Also the same checks were done in the function passive_domain_do_wrmsr(). So these common checks are moved in a new single function passive_domain_msr_op_checks().

Ian, Keir, This patch is to boot 32-bit VMX guest on the 64-bit host. Double-compile is used to make both 64-bit guest and 32-bit guest can work, the shadow page-table uses current 64-bit shadow code''s structure to simulate 32-bit guest''s 2-level page-table.

We have test latest xen on VT platform with Intel 915 chipset and Here is the test summary: IA32: Build&Boot SMP xen0 without problem Can startup unmodified 2.4/2.6 linux on VMX domain Can startup VMX & Xen with different configuration Part of LTP runs well in VMX domain(2.6) IA32E: Build&Boot SMP xen0 without problem Can startup unmodified 2.6 linux on

Hi, gdbserver-xen coredump after i step through a few lines of code. build dom0 with debug_domu. Enable debuginfo and frame pointer for dom U and attach the domu with gdbserver . In gdb put breakpoint at say sys_open and after going through few lines of code gdbserver-xen coredumps. The resulting core file has the below stack $gdb /usr/local/bin/gdbserver-xen ./core GNU gdb 6.3-debian

This patch clean up VMX builder. Since now we have vmxloader, old code loading linux kernel directly is not needed. 1. remove linux parameters. 2. remove init ramdisk. 3. remove e820 memmap config file parse. Also e820 map handling code is changed in vmx_setup_platform. 4. remove provisional GDT, and construct_init_guest_vmcs is updated greatly. 5. remove some ugly tailing space. Thanks Keir for

Hi Keir, this patch changes common code of xen hypervisor, but seems we have to, because current call to do_boot_vcpu is always from domains, however, for SMP VMX guest AP bring up, we need call it from xen hypervisor, so we''d like to split it. What''s your opinion? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hello, I need to test a linux device driver. I am wondering whether it''s possible to run the kernel with the new driver on hvmloader? Is it possible to run gdb/gdbserver-xen against? Has anyone done this? Any pointer will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Test. --------------------------------- Never miss an email again! Yahoo! Toolbar alerts you the instant new Mail

Package: xen-utils-3.1-1 Version: 3.1.0-2 Severity: normal Hi, With HVM, Xen now has a way to gdb the kernel of a domain by running a gdbserver, available in tools/debugger/gdb. It would be useful to build it. Samuel -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1,

Keir: This patch is to remove the pit_timer when the vmx domain is inactive to save HV external IRQ caused by ac_time and some cleanup for ioapic in HV.

The previous order of relinquish resource is: relinquish_domain_resources() -> vcpu_destroy() -> nvmx_vcpu_destroy(). However some L1 resources like nv_vvmcx and io_bitmaps are free in nvmx_vcpu_destroy(), therefore the relinquish_domain_resources() will not reduce the refcnt of the domain to 0, therefore the latter vcpu release functions will not be called. To fix this issue, we need to
