Hello I have trouble with Quard Core Opteron and windows 2008(x86). By the way Windows device manager show 4 processors, BUT task manager show only one core. I found that my problem is not new. But solutions, provided by those people did not helped me. By the way, my windows is enterprise version, and as far as I know, it allows up to 8 processor sockets, so the trouble is not, that windows

I want to be able to test live migration... I have an intel box and an amd box, so live migration between them won''t ''just work''. From what I''ve read though, I should be able to use cpuid to turn off all the cpu features which might be different between them. Is this do-able? I''m willing to accept any resulting loss of performance etc. James

Specifically, what values are or aren''t accepted as CPU identifier, and how the values get interpreted should be consistent across sub-commands (intended behavior now: non-negative values are okay, and along with omitting the argument, specifying "all" will also be accepted). For error handling, error messages should get consistently issued to stderr, and the tool should now

Hi, while testing some APERF/MPERF semantics I discovered that this feature is enabled in Xen Dom0, but is not reliable. The Linux kernel''s scheduler uses this feature if it sees the CPUID bit, leading to costly RDMSR traps (a few 100,000s during a kernel compile) and bogus values due to VCPU migration during the measurement. The attached patch explicitly disables this CPU capability

The current early-printk support for ARM is rather hard-coded, making it hard to add machines or tweak settings. This series slightly moves some code to gather UART settings in xen/arch/arm/Rules.mk instead of the actual .c files. Also it allows two different machines with different settings to share the same driver, which the last patch exploits to add support the Calxeda Midway hardware. This

Hi, When dom0 is under heavy load any Vista or Windows 2008 HVM''s that are running and have multiple cpu''s assigned often BSOD with code 0x00000101 "A clock interrupt was not recevied ona secondary processor within the allocated time interval" It only happens if the load in dom0 is high enough to make the mouse pointer lagged, once the mouse fails to track in

Hi, the implementation of xl cpupool-numa-split is broken. It basically deals with only one poolid, but there are two to consider: the one from the original root CPUpool, the other from the newly created one. On my machine the current output looks like: root@dosorca:/data/images# xl cpupool-numa-split libxl: error: libxl.c:2803:libxl_create_cpupool Could not create cpupool error on creating

Hi, currently we go through the emulator every time a HVM guest does an I/O port access (in/out). This is unnecessary most of the times, as both VMX and SVM provide all the necessary information already in the VMCS/VMCB. String instructions are not covered by this shortcut, but they are quite rare and we would need to access the guest memory anyway. This patch decodes the information from

Hi, we have some problems with acpidump running on Xen Dom0. On 64 bit Dom0 it will trigger the OOM killer, on 32 bit Dom0s it will cause a kernel crash. The hypervisor does not matter, I tried 4.1.3-rc2 as well as various unstable versions including 25467, also 32-bit versions of 4.1. The Dom0 kernels were always PVOPS versions, the problems starts with 3.2-rc1~194 and is still in 3.5.0-rc3.

Hi, if there is no UUID specified in the config file, we generate one during the _parsing_ process. Since xl list -l parses the config file again, the UUID will be generated again in this case and the reported version does probably not match the used one. Fix this by retrieving the UUID from dominfo (like xl list -v does). Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Regards,

Hi, during some experiments with many guests I get crashing Dom0s because of too less memory. Actually the OOM killer goes ''round and kills random things, preferably qemu-dm''s ;-) The box in question has 128GB of memory, I start with dom0_mem=8192M (or 16384M, doesn''t matter). I also used "dom0_mem=8192M,min:1536M", but that didn''t make any

Hi, although advertised via the usage output, xl cpupool-list -l just returns ERROR_NI, which does not show up on the console. Instead the output is empty, which is not exactly what --long hints to. To avoid confusion remove the line from the help output and just ignore the -l option properly until it gets finally implemented. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com>

Hi, this patch introduces a new config file option (numanodes=[x]) to specify a list of valid NUMA nodes for guests. This will extend (but not replace) the recently introduced automatic placement. If several nodes are given, the current algorithm will choose one of them. If none of the given nodes has enough memory, this will fall back to the automatic placement. Signed-off-by: Andre
