HVM balloon driver or something, that''s under development, may decrease or increase the machine memory that is taken by HVM guest; in IA32/IA32e host, now Qemu maps the physical memory of HVM guest based on little blocks of memory (the block size is 64K in IA32 host or 1M in IA32E host). When HVM balloon driver decreases the reserved machine memory of HVM guest, Qemu should unmap the

Currently, Xen does not support injecting an NMI to HVM guest OS. Adding this feature is necessary for those softwares which depend on NMI to function correctly, such as KDB and oprofile. The attached patch allows NMI to be injected to guest OS in NMIP capable platforms. It also enables to queue an NMI and then inject it as soon as possible. Signed-off-by: Haitao Shan

For an SMP Linux HVM guest with PV drivers inserted, when we do save/restore (or LiveMigration) for the guest, it might panic after it''s restored. The panic point is inside ap_suspend(): .... while (info->do_spin) { cpu_relax(); read_lock(&suspend_lock); HYPERVISOR_yield(); ----> guest might panic on the invocation of this function.

Hi Jan Beulich, > changeset 15414: 3cf5052ba5e5 x86: machine check exception handling With the c/s, when creating HVM guest, I can only see a white Qemu window. :( Can you have a look? Thanks.

In x64 SMP Vista HVM guest (vcpus=2 in the configuration file), the wall clock time is 50% slower than that in the real world.

Changeset 15046:e527b4ff1948 breaks 32-bit HVM guest: when req->size is 4, "1UL << 32" returns 1 in IA32 system, so the mask becomes 0 wrongly. The attached patch fixes this by using 64-bit left-shift.

Hi all, This is our weekly test report for Xen-unstable tree. No new issue found; P1 bug #1339 still blocks our save/restore related cases. Old Bugs: ===================================================================== 1. TSC not accurate in Windows HVM. http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1291 2. SMP 32e RHEL5.1 timer would be slow,if under working pressure.

This adds a boolean boot parameter to xen to allow reserved memory regions to be added to the iommu mappings for dom0. The parameter is "iommu_include_reserved" and is off by default. A warning is also traced when incorrect RMRR to system memory map values are detected. This is being added to address some incorrect BIOS''s that do not report correctly the requied reserved memory

Hi, Keir, This patch is to fix the problem of Linux guest installation failure and Windows 2000 boot failure.       In the early code, we use vmx_vmexit_handler() -> vmx_io_instruction() function to emulate I/O instructions. But now, we use vmx_vmexit_handler() -> handle_mmio -> hvm_emulate_one() -> x86_emulate() to emulate I/O instructions. Also nowadays, the realmode

On Xen-3.3.0, domain0 Megaraid SAS (SAS 1068 controller) driver is not loading correctly if vtd support in Xen is enabled. It fails at the point of initializing firmware. I wasn''t seeing this error with Xen-3.2.2-rc3 (Unstable version), though with vtd disabled in Xen-3.3.0, it is working. Looks like a degrade problem. Any clues? Thx, Venkat

Hello, I''m also seeing this exact same problem. I''ve posted on xen-users, but did not get an answer. Venkat seems to be experiencing the same problem as me.

Hi, all, The attached patches try to improve the current FLR logic. The idea is: removing the FLR logic from hypervisor and adding the improved logic in Control Panel. The current FLR logic in hypervisor has some issues: 1) Dstate transition is not guaranteed to properly clear the device state; 2) the current code for PCIe FLR is actually buggy: PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_TRPND doesn''t mean the

I think we need this feature at least for debugging purpose, right? Or, do we already have this feature?
