similar to: [RFC] i386 highmem assist hypercalls

While looking at the origin of very frequently executed hypercalls I realized that the high page accessor functions in Linux would be good candidates to handle in the hypervisor - clearing or copying to/from a high page is a pretty frequent operation (provided there''s enough memory in the domain). While prior to the first submission I only measured kernel builds (where the results are not

Assumes hypervisor interface headers have been sync-ed after the hypervisor side patch was applied. As usual, written and tested on 2.6.27.3 and made apply to the 2.6.18 tree without further testing.

Please CC as I''m not subscribed to valgrind-developers. Under Xen the toolstack is responsible for managing the domains in the system, e.g. creating, destroying, and otherwise manipulating them. To do this it uses a number of ioctls on the /proc/xen/privcmd device. Most of these (the MMAPBATCH ones) simply set things up such that a subsequenct mmap call will map the desired guest

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

I''ve encountered a rather unusual bug while I''m implementing live migration on arndale board. After resume, domU kernel starts invoking hypercalls and at some point the hypercall parameters delivered to xen are corrupted. After some debugging (with the help of HW debugger), I found that cache polution happens, and here is the detailed sequence. 1) DomU kernel allocates a local

Hi, V6: The only change from V5 is in patch #6: - changed comment to reflect autoxlate - removed a redundant ASSERT - reworked logic a bit so that get_page_from_gfn() is called with NULL for p2m type as before. arm has ASSERT wanting it to be NULL. Tim: patch 4 needs your approval. Daniel: patch 5 needs your approval. These patches implement PVH dom0. Patches 1 and 2

Today is my day! This is with Xen 4.4 (pulled today) when I build a kernel in dom0 and have two guests launching at the same time. This is what I get: (XEN) Assertion ''l1e_get_pfn(MAPCACHE_L1ENT(hashent->idx)) == hashent->mfn'' failed at domain_page.c:203 and it blows up.

__map_domain_page() *must* be matched with an unmap_domain_page(). These five static inline functions each map a page (or two), then throw away the context needed to unmap it. Each of the changes are limited to their respective functions. In two cases, this involved replacing a large amount of pointer arithmetic with memcpy() (all callers were relying on memcpy() semantics of positive/negative

Hi, Can anybody shed light on the Xen function map_domain_page (in xen/arch/x86/x86_32/domain_page.c)? What is it doing? Jinpeng Wei _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

x86:x2apic: Disable x2apic on x86-32 permanently x2apic initialization on x86_32 uses vcpu pointer before it is initialized. As x2apic is unlikely to be used on x86_32, this patch disables x2apic permanently on x86_32. It also asserts the sanity of vcpu pointer before dereference to prevent further misuse.

The following two patches allow the parallel use of memsharing, xenpaging and xen-access by using an independent ring buffer for each feature. Please review. v2: - update mem_event_check_ring arguments, check domain rather than domain_id - check ring_full first because its value was just evaluated - check if ring buffer is initialized before calling mem_access_domctl/mem_paging_domctl

Make sure MFN read from pte is valid before accessing the page info structure associated with it. Drop guest-to-machine-physical translation from ptwr code.
