similar to: [PATCH] [Xend] Move some backend configuration

This patch was created for 3.1.0. Based on inspection, I believe the current version has the same problem, but I did not actually try it. I hope you''ll find the patch useful anyway. Xen cannot work when xenstored''s tdb is corrupt. When that happens somehow (and we''ve seen it happen), even reboot doesn''t recover from it. It could: there is no state in tdb

16396:055d98aa2dd0 almost works but not quite. 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

xend has a timeout such that if an ''xm shutdown'' request does not result in the domain shutting down within a certain time period, the domain is violently destroyed. This seems like a strange choice - if the domain isn''t responding properly to such requests, then it must be in a buggy state, and should surely be preserved for administrator action (dumping core,

Hi, on my system (Linux 2.6.18.8 - ia64), if a domain write on the xencons before xenconsole is initialized the domain gets back what it wrote. This patch fixes this issue by making raw the pty slave very early. (I suppose it doesn''t happen with linux as a guest because it takes a little bit of time before writing to xencons).

This patch series adds support for preservation of the VM generation ID buffer address in xenstore across save/restore and migrate, and also code to increment the value in all cases except for migration. The first patch modifies creation of the hvmloader key in xenstore and adds creation of a new read/write hvmloader/generation-id-addr key. The second patch changes hvmloader to use the new key (as

(Sorry, lost Keir''s mail). I''m unclear on why we have to have the mapping part of solving the xendev problem. Can''t we just allocate a transaction as usual if we see an ID without a transaction existing, mark it as pre-fail, and when we see the transaction end, discard the copy as if it had raced? Surely the ID lookup is guaranteed to fail in the circumstances we care

It seems that VCPU system time isn''t monotonic (using 3.0.4). It seems it might be correlated to when a VCPU is switched across real CPUs but I haven''t conclusively proved that. But e.g.: { old = { time = { version = 0x4ec pad0 = 0xe8e0 tsc_timestamp = 0x22cc8398b7194 system_time =

This patch series adds support for preservation of the VM generation ID buffer address in xenstore across save/restore and migrate, and also code to increment the value in all cases except for migration. Patch 1 modifies the guest ro and rw node creation to an open coding style and cleans up some extraneous node creation. Patch 2 modifies creation of the hvmloader key in xenstore and adds

Hey Keir, I committed the last of the big outstanding tools blockers for 4.2 yesterday. Currently they are still in staging because they added some new xenstore paths which tickled the leak detector in the test system What do you think of doing an rc0 release next week? There''s still some smaller issues remaining but I think they can wait until rc1. Ian.

Folks, A new release candidate for 3.2.0 has just been checked into the xen-unstable tree. It''s available from staging and will be in the main tree when it has passed internal regression tests. Meanwhile, in preparation for 3.1.3, please let me know if there are any further patches from xen-unstable that should be backported into the 3.1 branch. You can pull the xen-3.1-testing.hg

We currently ship a PAE 32-bit domU that we can trivially make bimodal, except that if we set it to "bimodal", then older Xens will default to thinking the domU is not PAE: 353 dsi->pae_kernel = PAEKERN_no; 354 if ( dsi->__elfnote_section ) 355 { 356 p = xen_elfnote_string(dsi, XEN_ELFNOTE_PAE_MODE); 357 if ( p != NULL && strncmp(p,

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

Add public HVM definitions header for firmware passthrough support (including comment describing the feature''s use). In addition this header is used to collect the various xenstore string values that are used in HVMLOADER.
