similar to: [PATCH][4/6] Add to virtual device operations

Hi, In many places xen uses "unsigned long" instead of the l*_pgentry_t types to pass around page table entries. Here is a patch which fixes this in a number of places (mostly in shadow mode code). Thats what I''ve trapped in so far, maybe more of these patches follow. Fixing this is needed for adding PAE support to xen. In PAE paging mode the page table entries are 64 bit

Memory mapped and port I/O is currently broken under VMX when the partition is running in VM8086 mode. The reason is that the instruction decoding support uses 32-bit opcode/address decodes rather 16-bit decodes. This patch fixes that. In addition, the patch adds support for the "stos" instruction decoding because this is a frequently used way to clear MMIO areas such as the screen. As

We seem to find an interesting bug, but not for sure. Each time before xen returns to hvm domain, it checks local_events_need_delivery to see whether any events pending and if yes, inject event by callback_irq into the virtual interrupt controller. However, the interesting point is, we never found any place, either in xen or in PV drivers, to clear evtchn_upcall_mask at any time. The initial

Hello, as some might have read in my previous postings, I have a Mini-OS dom0 that constructs a Mini-OS domU on x86 xen-3.0.4-testing. As the memory layout my Dom0 builds does not guarantee, that pages the DomU Mini-OS tries to use as page tables are mapped to existing memory, I changed new_pt_frame in arch/x86/mm.c in the following way: The pt_pfn is mapped R/W, then it is zeroed by a

The memory relating guest domain should be allocated from NUMA node on which the guest runs. Because the latency of the same NUMA node is faster than that of a different one. This patch fixes memory allocation for Address Translation Structure of VT-d. VT-d uses two types of Structures for DMA address translation. The one is Device Assignment Structure. The other is Address Translation

This patch adds a per-node bucket to the heap structure in Xen. During heap initialization the patch determines which bucket to place the memory. We reserve guard pages between node boundaries in the case that said boundary isn''t already guarded by the MAX_ORDER boundary to prevent the buddy allocator from merging pages between nodes. -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology

Add hypercall (shadow op: enable/disable and clean/peek dirtied page bitmap). It consists of two parts: dirty page detecting and saving. For detecting, we setup the guest p2m''s leaf PTE read-only and whenever the guest tries to write something, permission fault happens and traps into xen. The permission-faulted GPA should be saved for the toolstack (when it wants to see which pages

Hi, Olaf we have tested the xenpaging feature and found some problems. (1) the test case like this : when we start a VM with POD enable, the xenpaging is started at the same time. this case will cause many problems ,finally, we fixed the BUG, the patch is attached below. (2) there is a very serious problem. we have observed many VM crash examples, the error code is not always the same.
