similar to: [PATCH] x86: replace some intpte_t * casts

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.

While working on a database scaling problem using a SAP database test suite we discovered that these enterprise level large shared memory databases are very heavy users of mprotect(), to the extent that the performance overhead in current Xenolinux impacts scaling beyond a few cpus quite badly. A single cpu run under Xen has a nominal impact, but scaling out to 8 cpus results in a performance of

Hi Keir: These two patches remove the need for netloop by performing the copying in netback and only if it is necessary. The rationale is that most packets will be processed without delay allowing them to be freed without copying at all. So instead of copying every packet destined to dom0 we''ll only copy those that linger longer than a specified amount of time (currently 0.5s). As it

The merge of PAE support introduced the intpte_t type and PRIpte format specifier. Most of the shadow mode code was fixed, but debugging printks were not; this broke the compile if shadow mode debugging was enabled. The attached patch should fix the problem. Not tested with PAE enabled, but it shouldn''t make anything worse than it already is. Signed-off-by: Michael Vrable

There has been some progress, but still no joy. Definitely not intended for inclusion at this point. Tim, Wei, I added a Xen command line toggle to disable IOMMU and P2M table sharing. Tim, I verified that changes to p2m-pt.c don''t break shadow mode (64bit hypervisor and Win 7 guest). Hongkaixing, I incorporated your suggestion in patch 2, so I should add your Signed-off-by eventually.

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

Folks -- One more time with the PAE request, this time I''ve brought up the Linux kernel w/ a very recent version of Xen. (Just yesterday I pulled and updated my hg tree.) I still can''t set breakpoints within the guest domain: # gdb vmlinux GNU gdb 6.4-debian <...> (gdb) target remote roti.lab.netapp.com:9999 Remote debugging using roti.lab.netapp.com:9999 [New

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
