[XenPPC] Xencomm for xen/ia64

2006-08-16 Thread Tristan Gingold
Hi, [xen-ppc-devel is on CC just for info] I am porting xen-ppc's xencomm to xen/ia64. Currently on xen/ia64 copy_from/to_guest uses guest virtual address. This works well as long as the virtual addresses are in the TLB. When not in TLB (or vTLB) the hypercall can't success without domain

Perhaps, this is just mythology/warm-n-fuzzy for me, but I really like having 1 PHDR. Lemmy collect my thoughts and come up with a rational reason. 1 PHDR works just as well; the important thing is to explicitly define your PHDRs in the linker script. Segher

Mini-os on x86 seems to work. Someone working with us has successfully augmented it with a stripped down version of the J9 JVM. I have another question related to small, non-linux, os'es that can be used as a model to build a domU for xen/ppc. I am basically redoing a similar thing, that is

I just pushed three patches to xen-ppc-unstable that enable domU loading via xend. In particular, things like initrd loading and boot arguments in the xm create config file work properly[1]. This will cause merge headaches down the road, because Keir wants xc_linux_build() and related python to
