Hi, I have set maxvcpus and vcpus options in my domU configuration file, and I can see that X number of vcpu are set for the domU. I tried to activate all the vpcus by using vpcu_avail option (using decimal to represent vpcu bitmask e.g. 24=11000) but it doesn''t seem to work, and only the first vpcu is activated (i.e. has -b- state) while all other vpcu''s set for the domU are

As discussed in a previous e-mail, this patch series implements yield for the credit scheduler. This allows a VM to actually yield (give up the cpu to another VM) when it wants to. This has been shown to be effective when used in the spinlock code to avoid wasting time spinning when another vcpu is not currently scheduled. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

When using a vtsc, hvm_set_guest_time changes hvm_vcpu.stime_offset, which is used in the vcpu time structure to calculate the tsc_timestamp, so after updating stime_offset we need to propagate the change to vcpu_time in order for the guest to get the right time if using the PV clock. This was not done correctly, since in context_switch update_vcpu_system_time was called before vmx_do_resume,

Hi, Dan, This patch fixes strange behavior on IA64, that IDLE is scheduled more than Dom0 with default sEDF scheduler. The key point is reprogram_ac_timer at the end of ac_timer dispatcher, which programs local apic timer with expire of next ac_timer on x86. Higher precision lapic timer can trigger ac_timer more precisely than simply done in PIT interrupt handler. That works perfectly on x86

Hi, I don''t want to hijack this thread. But as I lately posted a question which mainly was about weight and cap and this fits in perfectly (and also you seem to be an expert here), I repeat it below. In the meantime I saw an academic article Ludmilla Cherkasova et al. from which I understood that you have to careful that a Dom0 doesn''t get too much weight, as otherwise

Hi all, With the new vm-tools we are trying to get top like capabilities going correctly. Currently we have a program vm-list that has some of this capability but is dependent on the cpu time given by libxc calls (xc_get_dom_info & xc_domain_get_cpu_usage). These two functions give you how much time (in nanoseconds, why is this not documented) the domain has been actively used. Approaches:

I''m working on a new hypercall, do_confer, which allows the directed yielding of a vcpu to another vcpu. It is mainly used when a vcpu fails to acquire a spinlock, yielding to the lock holder instead of spinning. I ported the ppc64 spinlock implementation for the i386 linux portion. In implementing the hypercall, I''ve been trying to figure out how to get the scheduler

Hi all, I am having confusion regarding the way a newly created domain is allocated vcpu. Initially during dom0 creation alloc_vcpu is called to create vcpu structs for all the available cpu''s and assigned to dom0. But its not the case for domU creation. 1. So how will dom0 relinquish/share vcpu to/with a newly created domU. Does this happen as part of the shared_info page mapping??

Hi all, I need a periodic timer running at ideally at 125 microseconds and at least 500 microseconds. I''ve just found the VCPUOP_set_periodic_timer, however there is a comment saying "periods less than one millisecond may not be supported". I will be running on an x64 machine. Is this supported? If not, is there any alternate means of generating a fast interrupt? Regards.

Hello all ;) Tell I have a Xeon server with 4 vcpus If on this box I have some guets, tell 10, what is the best solutions : - Set all guests to 1 vcpu ? - Set all guests to 4 vcpus ? I well understand that if I set a guest with 4 vcpus and all others only with one vpcus, then the one with 4 vcpus will have more "cpu time" available than others guests. But in case I''d like

Hi all, this patch series introduces support for runstate_memory_area on ARM. The first patch moves VCPUOP_register_runstate_memory_area to common code, while the second one add VCPUOP_register_runstate_memory_area to the whilelist of vcpu_op hypercalls supported on ARM and properly updates the runstate_memory_area during vcpu context switch.
