Subject: [PATCH 00/20][V5]: PVH xen: version 5 patches...
Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 17:52:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1368579168-30829-1-git-send-email-mukesh.rathor@oracle.com> (raw)
I've version 5 of my patches for 64bit PVH guest for xen. This is Phase I.
These patches are built on top of git
c/s: 4de97462d34f7b74c748ab67600fe2386131b778
Phase I:
- Establish a baseline of something working. These patches allow for
dom0 to be booted in PVH mode, and after that guests to be started
in PV, PVH, and HVM modes. I also tested booting dom0 in PV mode,
and starting PV, PVH, and HVM guests.
Also, the disk must be specified as phy: in vm.cfg file:
> losetup /dev/loop1 guest.img
> vm.cfg file: disk = ['phy:/dev/loop1,xvda,w']
I've not tested anything else.
Note, HAP and iommu are required for PVH.
As a result of V3, there were two new action items on the linux side before
it will boot as PVH: 1)MSI-X fixup and 2)load KERNEL_CS righ after gdt switch.
As a result of V5 a new fixme:
- MMIO ranges above the highest covered e820 address must be mapped for dom0.
Following fixme's exist in the code:
- Add support for more memory types in arch/x86/hvm/mtrr.c.
- arch/x86/time.c: support more tsc modes.
- check_guest_io_breakpoint(): check/add support for IO breakpoint.
- implement arch_get_info_guest() for pvh.
- vmxit_msr_read(): during AMD port go thru hvm_msr_read_intercept() again.
- verify bp matching on emulated instructions will work same as HVM for
PVH guest. see instruction_done() and check_guest_io_breakpoint().
Following remain to be done for PVH:
- AMD port.
- Avail PVH dom0 of posted interrupts. (This will be a big win).
- 32bit support in both linux and xen. Xen changes are tagged "32bitfixme".
- Add support for monitoring guest behavior. See hvm_memory_event* functions
in hvm.c
- Change xl to support other modes other than "phy:".
- Hotplug support
- Migration of PVH guests.
Thanks for all the help,
Mukesh
