[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 0/6] Support calling functions on dedicated physical cpu

Some hardware (e.g. Dell Studio laptops) require special functions to be called on physical cpu 0 in order to avoid occasional hangs. When running as dom0 under Xen this could be achieved only via special boot parameters (vcpu pinning) limiting the hypervisor in it's scheduling decisions. This

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 2/6] virt, sched: add generic vcpu pinning support

Add generic virtualization support for pinning the current vcpu to a specified physical cpu. As this operation isn't performance critical (a very limited set of operations like BIOS calls and SMIs is expected to need this) just add a hypervisor specific indirection. Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 3/6] smp: add function to execute a function synchronously on a cpu

On some hardware models (e.g. Dell Studio 1555 laptop) some hardware related functions (e.g. SMIs) are to be executed on physical cpu 0 only. Instead of open coding such a functionality multiple times in the kernel add a service function for this purpose. This will enable the possibility to take

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 6/6] hwmon: use smp_call_on_cpu() for dell-smm i8k

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 4/6] xen: add xen_pin_vcpu() to support calling functions on a dedicated pcpu

Some hardware models (e.g. Dell Studio 1555 laptops) require calls to the firmware to be issued on cpu 0 only. As Dom0 might have to use these calls, add xen_pin_vcpu() to achieve this functionality. In case either the domain doesn't have the privilege to make the related hypercall or the
