Xen is an open-source virtualization hypervisor.
Recent Activity
- xen/arm: gic-v3: Introduce CONFIG_GICV3_NR_LRS
Ayan Kumar Halder: Add a Kconfig option that lets an integrator hard-code the number of GICv3 List Registers Xen uses. - tools/libxenguest: remove Mini-OS specific parts
Juergen Gross: The last Mini-OS use case of libxenguest is gone, so remove the Mini-OS specific parts of libxenguest. - RISC-V: split xen-syms linking rule
Jan Beulich: Doing so, besides (hopefully) adding clarity (not the least by way of [re-]using pattern rules where possible), also avoids explicit recursive $(MAKE) invocations. By re-using the generic rules introduced when the respective x86 rule was split,- the .map file now isn't created after the final binary anymore,- --strip-debug is passed to $(LD) during early linking passes (for consistency the option is also explicitly added to the optional linking pass rule),- CONFIG_{SUPPRESS_DUPLICATE_SYMBOL_WARNINGS,ENFORCE_UNIQUE_SYMBOLS} are now properly respected. - Arm: split xen-syms linking rule

Julian Vetter: When creating a domain on ARM, and passing XEN_DOMCTL_CONFIG_GIC_NATIVE for the gic_version field in the struct xen_arch_domainconfig, arch_sanitise_domain_config() resolves this to the approrpiate GIC_V2 or GIC_V3 version the domain actually has, based on the host's gic_hw_version(). - drivers/char: Panic when the requested UART fails to initialise
Michal Orzel: uart_init() cannot tell its caller that the UART the user asked for did not come up: every failure path only printks. - x86/mm: limit deferred TLB flushing to PV domain support
Roger Pau Monne: The current logic on x86 will mark all domain owned pages as needing a TLB flush before being re-used. - x86: split xen-syms/xen.efi linking rules
Jan Beulich: Doing so, besides (hopefully) adding clarity (not the least by way of using pattern rules where possible), also avoids explicit recursive $(MAKE) invocations. - oxenstored: Reset the watches trie on domain reconnect
Andrii Sultanov: oxenstored maintains two datastructures about watches; one global trie, and one hashtable tracked per domain. - x86/time: avoid early uses of NOW() to return zero
Jan Beulich: Waiting loops like the one in flush_command_buffer() will degenerate to infinite ones when used early enough for NOW() to still return constant zero.
Xen Release Tags
- Update QEMU_UPSTREAM_REVISION for 4.4.0-rc4
Ian Jackson - QEMU_UPSTREAM_REVISION update
Ian Jackson - xen: arm: fix build after libelf changes
Ian Campbell: ed65808a8ed4 "libelf: check all pointer accesses" caused: kernel.c: In function 'kernel_elf_load': kernel.c:162:18: error: 'struct elf_binary' has no member named 'dest' make[4]: *** [kernel.o] Error 1 The field is now called dest_base. - gnttab: drop unused GNTCOPY_can_fail
Jan Beulich - libxc: limit cpu values when setting vcpu affinity
Ian Jackson: When support for pinning more than 64 cpus was added, check for cpu out-of-range values was removed. - x86/hvm: avoid p2m lookups for vlapic accesses
Tim Deegan: The LAPIC base address is a known GFN, so we can skip looking up the p2m: we know it should be handled as emulated MMIO. - Config.mk: update QEMU_TAG and QEMU_UPSTREAM_REVISION for 4.3.0-rc1
