This patch set mainly allows the user to build a seabios or rombios only version of hvmloader. In addition, when building a seabios only hvmloader, Option ROMs like vgabios and etherboot are no longer required, and therefore can be disabled from the build. Dependency on the bcc compiler can also be avoided the same way. v2: Separate patches for separate issues Introduced config option to

A "main" function is defined in Xen-3.1.0-source/tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c. In this main function, rombios, vgabios and vmxassist are copied to specified address, with following commands memcpy((void *)ROMBIOS_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, rombios, rombios_sz); ... memcpy((void *)ETHERBOOT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, etherboot, sizeof(etherboot)); .... But after searching the whole

When booting HVMs with SeaBIOS, the BIOS itself takes care of extracting option ROMs from the PCI devices. These ROMs are usually provided with by the device model (qemu). Thus, hvmloader should not require any longer the rombios, stdvga, cirrusvga or etherboot ROMs to be present. Also, the 32bitbios_support.c file is specific to rombios and should not be built when building hvmloader with

I have a self built system using an Intel D 920 processor and a MB that supports VT. I''m able to run HVM domains fine, but have trouble getting multiple VCPUs for these domains. Here is an example of one of my configs. # -*- mode: python; -*- #============================================================================ # Python configuration setup for ''xm create''. #

Hello, I found out what the problem in my other thread was, now I need to solve it: I need to port a modified Bochs bios to Xen x86. However, a file of the original source seems missing: acpi-dsdt.hex. It''s neither in the tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi directory nor in the tools/firmware/rombios one. Also applying the diffs or manually editing the source probably won''t work since

Hi, These set of patches are affected by replacing bios_relocate hook with bios_load hook in hvmloader. The patches for code files config.h and hvmloader.c also contains part of the contents of Enabling UEFI BIOS(OVMF) support in Xen-unstable HVM. Is there any problem with these patches? Thank you very much. # HG changeset patch # User gbtju85@gmail.com # Replace bios_relocate hook with

Hi Trying to get WinXP HVM to install as domU on AMD. Got latest Xen Kernel and Xen package (NOT unstable or debug). When start, a window pops up for few seconds.. then it dies and another one comes up... and it disappears too. (Xen is trying to restart and giving up because the restart happens in 2 seconds..) It seems DomU is not able to read/understand something from Cirrus VGABIOS.

Some firmware, such as OVMF relies on this value to get the size of extra memory above 4GB. Seabios in Xen doesn''t need this as it gets e820 directly from Xen. Rombios doesn''t read this value.

The SeaBIOS ROM image may validly exceed 128k in size, it''s only our interface code that so far assumed that it wouldn''t. Remove that restriction by setting the base address depending on image size. Add a check to HVM loader so that too big images won''t result in silent guest failure anymore. Uncomment the intended build-time size check for rombios, moving it into a

This patch adds an implementation of the TCG BIOS extensions to the Bochs BIOS and enables logging of boot measurements using the previously implemented support for TCPA ACPI tables. A low-level driver for a TPM TIS device and an Atmel device is provided. The implemented specification is described here:

Thank you. I notice the system then jumps to F000:FFF0 to execute. But because VMX is turned on, switching to real-mode would incur problems? I don’t find any clue to turn on the vm86 mode as Readme in the tools/firmware directory puts.

Hi, when I boot my windows, the bios that is used is a qemu bios. I''m searching for the bios file on my system that is used by the hvmloader. I found bios files from bochs : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131072 2008-06-28 03:05 /usr/share/bochs/BIOS-bochs-latest -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 2008-06-28 03:05 /usr/share/bochs/BIOS-bochs-legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131072 2008-06-28 03:05

Hello, I am currently trying to suspend a HVM domU via ACPI. However, after "xl trigger vm s3suspend" the virtual machine freezes after 2-3 seconds (I get a prompt at xl console before that!), and keeps printing the following lines: [ 240.428145] INFO: task jbd2/xvda1-8:146 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [ 240.437649] "echo 0 >

This patch series adds the ability to selectively disable the S3 and S4 ACPI power states for HVM guests. Since there is a general move towards retiring the hvm_info_table structure, the first patch moves the acpi_enabled flag out of the hvm_info_table and into a xenstore key (platform/acpi). The second patch then introduces the acpi_s3 and acpi_s4 configuration parameters to the xl config file

This bug, at its core, is that currently there is no supported solution for VGA passthrough on Xen for stable version Jessie from Debian. After browsing Xen's repositories, I found out that Xen did not claim to support VGA passthrough with the upstream qemu-xen device model until Sep 25, 2015, the date the xl.cfg man page was updated to indicate support for VGA passthrough with upstream
