This Monday, at 18:30, Haifa Linux CLub will once again gather to hear
Muli Ben-Yehuda talk about
The Xen Hypervisor and its IO subsystem,
with a concentration on IOMMUs
Abstract
The Xen hypervisor provides fast, secure, open-source virtualization that
allows multiple operating system instances to run on a single physical
machine. Xen supports modified guest operating systems using a technique
known as para-virtualization, and unmodified guests using hardware
virtualization support on the latest Intel VT enabled processors. Xen
offers near native performance for guest operating systems, and supports
live migration of guests between servers with typical application impact
of less than 100ms.
This talk will have three parts: in the first part, I will discuss the
origins, architecture and current status of the Xen hypervisor. In the
second part, I will focus on Xen's IO subsystem: the split driver
architecture, driver domains and hardware access from multiple virtual
machines. The third part will be dedicated to IOMMUs: both software
mechanisms (Xen's grant tables and Linux's swiotlb) and hardware IOMMUs.
