Presumably the guest at this point is happily running on the page size of its choice? Yes, dom0 might run with its own page size. But as soon as page operations are involved (domain construction, xenstore, grant operations) xen page size has to be known. Xen and domains have to agree on what is a page.

Security is a shaky argument when it comes to the console for me. Personally, I almost think of the console as a form of physical access to the system. Access to the console should be secured at a higher level. Just my 2 cents though. Thanks, Just my two .02 euros: It really depends on the system. Here the console can be remote and the system management is done with a dedicated console.

You need to set parameter xencons on command line and to disable serial in linux kernel. You may also want to set xencons on command line when using vga console. At the risk of upsetting transparent paravirtualization, should we be setting CONFIG_XEN_DISABLE_SERIAL in our buildconfig? I'd really like to see some way to do it dynamically so we can still build the 8250 driver into a kernel for a serial console on bare metal, but getting a working serial console is currently too confusing. Thoughts? Thanks, After more thoughts: I'd like to to use noxencons instead of xencons and enabling xenconsole by default. For users like me who prefer to keep trans para virt, I can set noxencons and reset CONFIG_XEN_DISABLE_SERIAL. BTW, I'd prefer a better name for noxencons. Maybe noxenconsin ?

Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] PATCH: slightly improve stability

I think this patch is also needed.
I got the following message. I guess the cause is as follows

1. Right before mov loc8=0, vcpu is switched to another cpu.
2. While the vcpu is waiting for cpu, the tlb entry which backs the rse
stack is purged.
3. The vcpu gets cpu again, tlb miss fault occurs with isr.ir = 1.
4. xen ia64_do_page_fault() calls handle_lazy_cover() which sets
cr.ifs = 0.
5. xen returns cpu execution to the guest.
6. mov loc8 = 0 is executed with cfm = 0.
Illigal operation fault is raised
7. priv_handle_op() is called. but it fails to emulate because
mov loc8 = 0 isn't privileged op.
8. ia64_handle_privop() calls panic_domain().

Hi,
as reported earlier, this patch seems to improve stability: crashes are at
least more coherent and maybe less frequent.
RSE handling seems to have a bug: crahes are now due to either a bad value
in
a stacked register or a use of an invalid stacked register (although cfm
seems correct in gdb!)
I'm looking at this too,
Yes there is a bug about handle_lazy_cover.

Major Issues: == 1. 2 VTI coexisting testing may cause Xen0 reboot, after some workload running on VTI domain. 2. Xen0 Xwindows can not start up. 3. Xen0 control terminal can not use keyboard and mouse. 4. By default Xen0 can not bring up with 2 vcpus, if there are only 2 Logic CPU. Bugs fixed: == 1. Xiantao help to fix bug of ptc.ga virtulization of SMP VTI creating failure. 2. credit schedule issue (Fujita has mentioned.) Now there are 7 case in nightly testing.

Hi Akio, I don't know how to maintain this file in linux-xen. I could almost go for deletion of lines instead of #ifndef XEN, but that still makes the maintenance problem more manual. There's no indication where the lines below came from though, I can't find the version of mca_asm.S in linux/ia64 that contains them.

[Xen-ia64-devel] boot problems with latest xen kernel rpm
I just tried booting the latest kernel rpm from Aron's yum repo: kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2293_agriffis I am having trouble booting on my HP rx4640 (base install is rawhide-20060619). I notice we now no longer have xen0 and xenU kernels. Do I need to pass in special boot options so it boots properly as dom0? Here is my elilo.conf: image=vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2293_agriffisxen label=xen vmm=xen.gz-2.6.17-1.2293_agriffis initrd=initrd-2.6.17-1.2293_agriffisxen.img root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 read-only append=sched=bvt sync_console -- rhgb quiet xencons=ttyS8 console=ttyS8 root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 however, when I boot I get a LOT of the folowing: (XEN) bad hyperprivop; ignored (XEN) iim=0, iip=0xa0019d00 (XEN) bad hyperprivop; ignored (XEN) iim=0, iip=0xa0019d00 (XEN) bad hyperprivop; ignored (XEN) iim=0, iip=0xa0019d00 (XEN) bad hyperprivop; ignored these messages scroll so fast that I don't know if the kernel is making progress but is slow or if it is stuck in an infinite loop. Are the boot options I am using OK? thanks, - Doug ___ Xen-ia64-devel mailing list Xen-ia64-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-ia64-devel

Looks like the file in the tree is based more on 2.6.14 than 2.6.13. Not sure how that happened.

Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] [8/9] add mca.c for supporting INIT handler
On Fri, 2006-06-23 at 01:50 +0900, Akio Takebe wrote: This is main patch for supporting INIT handler. I update this patch. - into xen/arch/ia64/xen - make smaller mca.c. (non-ifdef code) Hi Akio, Maybe the question I should have asked the first time around was why is init handling so different between Xen/ia64 and Linux/ia64? I know I mentioned splitting this out into a separate file as a possibility, but I still have concerns about how we maintain this long term, especially as we add more components of MCA handling in the (near) future. I'm certainly willing to live with large chunks of CPE/CMC/MCA specific code #ifdef'd out. Would it make things any better if we pulled in updates to the files from newer Linux/ia64 source? MCA handling has undergone some overhauling in upstream kernels that may help. Is this separate file approach really the right answer?

[Xen-ia64-devel] [PATCH] Change of VTi guest firmware name and default directory in xmexample
This trivial patch changes VTi guest firmware default name and directory in xmexample to new directory /usr/lib/xen/boot/guest_firmware.bin. This aligns with IA32 firmware directory and good to integrate into Fedora Core.
