Hi, taking into account Hollis comments I now submit this patch. IA64 specific stuff will be posted to xen-ia64-unstable after merge. Tristan. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hi, on IA64 flushing the whole TLB is very expensive: this is a cpu tlb flush and clearing 16MB of memory (virtual tlb). However, flushing an address range is rather cheap. Flushing an address range on every processors is also cheap (no IPI). Unfortunatly Xen common code flushes the whole TLB after unmapping grant reference. Currently, this is not done on IA64 because domain_dirty_cpumask

Hi, for ia64, I''d like to add xc_domain_setdebugging() in the xenctrl API. This patch implements it and modifies xc_ptrace.c to use it. The rationnal is enabling debugging tool not based on the ptrace API. The ptrace API is based on Linux ptrace which (at least on ia64) doesn''t have many privilegied registers. I''d prefer this patch being integrated on

Hi, on ia64, the do_* functions for hypercalls are called in C. However, they are not declared in any .h file. I think it is cleaner to declare them in an header file rather than locally. The question is in which header file. Thank you for any suggestion. The do_* functions are at least: extern long do_ni_hypercall(void); extern long do_dom0_op(dom0_op_t *u_dom0_op); extern long

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/xen domU support based on ia64/pv_ops frame work which was sent as another patchest. Changes from take 5 are rebased to Linux 2.6.26-rc3, bug fix ivt.S paravirtualization and multi entry point support. I believe these patches can be applied to the linux ia64 repository. This patchset does the followings. - Some preparation work. Mainly importing header files to

clean up of xencomm.c. is_phys_contiguous() is arch dependent function that depends on how virtual memory are laid out. So split out the function into arch specific code.
