The following patches are a cleaned up version of the HVM SMBIOS patches I submitted last Friday. Differences include (1) SMBIOS is no longer optional for HVM domU''s. (2) The refactoring I did of hvmloader wasn''t really necessary, so I got rid of it. (3) The patches have been tested on changeset 10671:b20580cf7fc1bfe5119597bb5b576cdd020551d5 (4) The versions of strcpy() and

SMBIOS table pass-through is useful in supporting vendor/OEM specific functionality in HVM guests. There are numerous OEM software packages and drivers that depend on having certain SMBIOS tables surfaced in a guest for their proper functioning. This also includes drivers and software needed for device pass-through. This series of patches introduces support for SMBIOS pass-through in the

For some reason, half of the patches I posted on Friday for HVM SMBIOS support haven''t shown up yet. I''m going to try to post a version of them reworked for changeset 11076:f328519053f5a444af475ec10dc8089a0b176e3f in a few moments, so please ignore the previous posts. Thanks!

The series "HVM firmware passthrough" series in Jan 2013 from Ross Philipson cause two regressions for HVM guests which sadly found their way into the Xen 4.3 release. The first regression causes an incorrect count of tables to be placed in the main header, and can be seen by running dmidecode in any applicable HVM domain. The second regression found its way into the public ABI, making

Move I/O instruction building to the sub-arch layer. Some very crafty but esoteric macros are used here to get optimized native instructions for port I/O in Linux be writing raw instruction strings. Adding a wrapper layer here is fairly easy, and makes the full range of I/O instructions available to the VMI interface. Also, slowing down I/O is not a useful operation in a VM, so there is a VMI

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

LDFLAGS_DIRECT means we end up with: gld -melf_i386 -nostdlib -N -Ttext 0x100000 -o hvmloader.tmp hvmloader.o mp_tables.o util.o smbios.o 32bitbios_support.o acpi/acpi.a Specifying a linker script and asking for -nostdlib is obviously contradictory. Removing $(LDFLAGS_DIRECT) fixes the problem. regards john

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

Greetings. I''ve been asked to work on a PXE solution for booting Xen domU''s from a network, and would like some feedback and any help anyone is willing to provide. I''ve been limiting my work to HVM domU''s at the moment, because I don''t think the NBI''s (as far as I know, these are bootloaders) that I have available work in paravirtualized

I''ve seen some people asking why exposing xenstore attributes via sysfs could be useful. Here''s why I would really like to see such a patch make it into Xen: I''ve been working on getting domU''s to know enough about themselves to be manageable. I require a 128-bit UUID for each domU, and I require that each domU be able to determine its own UUID in userspace.

Hi guys, Does anybody knows if there is an option to set a binary file for smbios? Currently, I'm doing this approach: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='file=/var/run/libvirt/qemu/smbios_type_1.bin'/> </qemu:commandline> Has libvirt a method as <smbios mode='host'/> ? -- Julio Cesar Faracco

Passthrough support for the SMBIOS structures including three new DMTF defined types and support for OEM defined tables. Passed in SMBIOS types override the default internal values. Default values can be enabled for the new type 22 portable battery using a xenstore flag. All other new DMTF defined and OEM structures will only be added to the SMBIOS table if passthrough values are present.

c/s 25336:edd7c7ad1ad2 introduced the concept of a bogus vector, for in irqs delivered through the i8259 PIC after IO-APICs had been set up. However, if supurious PIC vectors are received, many "No irq handler for vector" log messages can be seen on the console. This patch adds to the bogus vector logic to detect spurious PIC vectors and simply ignore them. _mask_and_ack_8259A_irq()

All, What is the current minimum required SMBIOS version for Xen? Assuming it is not already, the SMBIOS version on the platform were to be raised to 2.5, would there be issues?
