similar to: [PATCH] [VT] clean up VMX builder

Ian, Keir, This patch is to boot 32-bit VMX guest on the 64-bit host. Double-compile is used to make both 64-bit guest and 32-bit guest can work, the shadow page-table uses current 64-bit shadow code''s structure to simulate 32-bit guest''s 2-level page-table.

Hi all, I wonder where I can find that file mentioned in xmexample.vmx: kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/vmxloader" I currently use debian from http://packages.debianbase.de/sarge/i386/xen3/, but this file is not included.

Hi Keir, this patch changes common code of xen hypervisor, but seems we have to, because current call to do_boot_vcpu is always from domains, however, for SMP VMX guest AP bring up, we need call it from xen hypervisor, so we''d like to split it. What''s your opinion? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

a clean up to vmx.c: 1) move some functions from vmx.h to vmx.c, since they are private. 2) adjust vmx_set_cr0 handling. 3) majorly coding style tidying.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello folks I played a lot with Xen last days, isnt it possible to access PCI devices which are hidden from dom0? I didnt get it - at least my windows domain didnt get it. Another question: Im using hvmloader but many pages also talk about the vmxloader, was it prior the hvmloader coz it doesnt exist anymore? cheers - -- Georg

Hi, Keir: the gdtr information in oldctx is an address for guest, not for vmxassist. When access descriptor on guest gdt, we need to go through guest page table if guest enable paging. This error may happen if guest enable PE/PG in one instruction. This patch fix this issue. Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Xin Li <xin.b.li@intel.com> Thanks

Cleanup vmx vmexit handler. Current code doesn''t handle vmexits caused by triple fault, INIT, SIPI, etc, which are listed in IA32 Architecture System Programming Guide 2, Appendix I VMX Basic Exit Reasons, and calls __hvm_bug() when not handling such cases, actually domain crash should be good enough.

Keir, It''s a resending patch for the timeout mechanism to deal with the shared interrupt issue for vt-d enabled hvm guest. We modify the patch following your comments last time and make some other small fix: 1) We don''t touch the locking around the hvm_dpci_eoi(). 2) Remove the HZ from the TIME_OUT_PERIOD macro which may confuse others. 3) Add some
