Subject: [PATCH 13/16] xen/events: Add the hypervisor interface for the FIFO-based event channels
Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 13:49:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381236555-27493-14-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1381236555-27493-1-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com>
From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>
Add the hypercall sub-ops and the structures for the shared data used
in the FIFO-based event channel ABI.
The design document for this new ABI is available here:
http://xenbits.xen.org/people/dvrabel/event-channels-F.pdf
In summary, events are reported using a per-domain shared event array
of event words. Each event word has PENDING, LINKED and MASKED bits
and a LINK field for pointing to the next event in the event queue.
There are 16 event queues (with different priorities) per-VCPU.
Key advantages of this new ABI include:
- Support for over 100,000 events (2^17).
- 16 different event priorities.
- Improved fairness in event latency through the use of FIFOs.
The ABI is available in Xen 4.4 and later.
