Hi everyone, When I set CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR, CONFIG_CPU_IDLE and CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE to y then I cannot boot Xen; there is a crash. If I turn CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE off then the boot goes well and, after dom0 has booted, xenpm works and gives some sane output, see below. I have tested this with kernels 3.2 to 3.4.6. Is it impossible to use INTEL_IDLE with Xen? If this is a known issue then maybe

New versions of tboot support ACPI GAS (Generic Address Structure) for handling sleep states. This required a change to the tboot_shared_t data structure that is not backwards compatible. This patch requires that new version makes use of GAS when invoking tboot on shutdown. Signed-off-by: Shane Wang <shane.wang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Joseph Cihula <joseph.cihula@intel.com> diff

Hello, The following patches are a solution to a problem we have encountered when using the Xen hypervisor: - Need Pxx/Cxx states to save on power consumption when using Xen (we do want those datacenters to consume less power!), - Also need to figure out the Turbo mode so that the scheduler can properly boost a core for CPU bound guests. In essence the Xen hypervisor requires that

Hmmm... It appears I never posted the corrected version of this patch so it never made it upstream. See: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg00587.html http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg02145.html It would be good if this very minor fix was also applied to 4.2 (and, if possible, 4.1). Thanks, Dan =================== The program xen-tmem-list-parse

I see that "xl list" shows a domain waiting idly for console input as "r", whereas "xm list" shows the same domain as "b". I also see that the State field for "xl list" contains only three characters (e.g. "r--"), whereas "xm list" shows six (e.g. "-b----"). Is this expected/intended (e.g. "r" in xm list

Implement APEI ERST feature to Xen APEI are ACPI4.0 new features. It consists of ERST, BERT, HEST, and EINJ. ERST is used to save fault error log to a platform persistent storage, so that when reboot os can retrieve the error log and handle it. This patch is used to implement ERST feature to Xen. It consists of 3-level hierarchy: operation level, action level, and instruction level. Instruction

Hi, I would like to improve the debugging experience for ASan. The idea is to have a couple of useful commands in LLDB (probably implemented as Python scripts) that could help the user when they are debugging an ASan-enabled binary. We already have some debugging API (asan_interface.h): // Print the description of addr (useful when debugging in gdb). void __asan_describe_address(void

Various versions of Linux under various circumstances select TSC as the primary clocksource for the kernel. This is especially true for uniprocessor kernels, but also in some cases for multiprocessor kernels. In most cases, this is because a processor bit (tsc_invariant? constant_tsc?) is passed through directly from the hardware via Xen and tested by the hvm guest and the result implies that

FYI, it is likely that ocfs2 will not work on 3.7-rcN until the following one-line patch is merged, as the code in ramster that provoked it is directly leveraged from ocfs2 o2net. > From: Tejun Heo [mailto:tj at kernel.org] > Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 5:39 PM > To: Dan Magenheimer > Cc: linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org; Konrad Wilk > Subject: [PATCH] workqueue:

Folks, The second release candidate for Xen 3.4.0 is available at http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg, tagged as ''3.4.0-rc2''. Please test! -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

A while ago (I think at the Xummit), I recall someone saying that the structure of the files in xenlinux may change soon so that the xen-specific files would move to a subdirectory or arch/<arch> (e.g. linux/arch/i386/xen instead of linux/arch/xen/i386). Is this still planned? If so, what is the timing? If it''s in progress, I''d like to get in the loop... Thanks, Dan

Hi Linux kernel folks and Xen folks -- Effective July 5, I will be resigning from Oracle and "retiring" for a minimum of 12-18 months and probably/hopefully much longer. Between now and July 5, I will be tying up loose ends related to my patches but also using up accrued vacation days. If you have a loose end you''d like to see tied, please let me know ASAP and I will do my

Am I correct in reading the code that there is no "noht" (turn off hyperthreading) option in Xen (except in powerpc)? This was a surprise to me as I've seen it documented in various places and I recently suggested it as a diagnostic to a customer. =================================== If Xen could save time in a bottle / then clocks wouldn't virtually skew / It would save every

This patch replaces the Xen xmalloc engine with tlsf, an allocation engine that is both more space efficient and time-bounded, especially for allocation sizes between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. The file xmalloc.c is deprecated but not yet deleted. A simple switch of a comment line in common/Makefile will change back to the legacy xmalloc/xfree if needed for testing. Code adapted from Nitin

I was playing with suspending and resuming Xen domains. Suspend and restore seems to work. However, when I reconnected with ''xm console'', I got the following error message on screen. Should I be concerned? [root@ROUGE xen]# xm console FedoraCore2 ************ REMOTE CONSOLE: CTRL-] TO QUIT ******** xen_blk: Unexpected blkif status disconnected in state connected blkfront:

These xm info, top, dmesg and log requre no parameter. But log''s error message differs from other 3 command''s error messages, when parameter is given. # xm log 1 Error: ''xm log'' requires 0 argument. log Print the xend log Other 3 commands ignore parameter.
