| Summary: Xen Virtualization: BIOS and device emulation for unmodified guests | |
Xen is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of
multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of
performance and resource isolation.
This package contains the needed BIOS and device emulation code to
support unmodified guests. (You need virtualization support in hardware
to make use of this.)
Modern computers are sufficiently powerful to use virtualization to
present the illusion of many smaller virtual machines (VMs), each
running a separate operating system instance. Successful partitioning
of a machine to support the concurrent execution of multiple operating
systems poses several challenges. Firstly, virtual machines must be
isolated from one another: It is not acceptable for the execution of
one to adversely affect the performance of another. This is
particularly true when virtual machines are owned by mutually
untrusting users. Secondly, it is necessary to support a variety of
different operating systems to accommodate the heterogeneity of popular
applications. Thirdly, the performance overhead introduced by
virtualization should be small.
Xen uses a technique called paravirtualization: The guest OS is
modified, mainly to enhance performance.
The Xen hypervisor (microkernel) does not provide device drivers for
your hardware (except for CPU and memory). This job is left to the
kernel that's running in domain 0. Thus the domain 0 kernel is
privileged; it has full hardware access. It's started immediately after
Xen starts up. Other domains have no access to the hardware; instead
they use virtual interfaces that are provided by Xen (with the help of
the domain 0 kernel).
Xen does support booting other Operating Systems; ports of NetBSD
(Christian Limpach), FreeBSD (Kip Macy), and Plan 9 (Ron Minnich)
exist. A port of Windows XP was developed for an earlier version of
Xen, but is not available for release due to license restrictions.
In addition to this package you need to install kernel-xen, xen, and
xen-tools to use Xen.

support on HVM.
* Mon Jun 26 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Include patch from HP to fix a domU migration failure ("Kernel
BUG at mm/mmap.c:1961"). Force L1/L2 page tables to be updated
at the end, to avoid them from being dirtied and not transferred.
(#162865)
* Fri Jun 23 2006 - kallan@novell.com
- Updated xen-bonding.diff to enable bonding again after the latest
patches to network-bridge etc. (#161888)
* Wed Jun 21 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Clean up the useless "Nothing to flush" messages, from 'ip addr
flush', in /var/log/xen-hotplug.log
- Fix race condition in domUloader.py, when another process did
losetup -d while domUloader was running. This would result in
the mount failing, and so the VM would fail to start.
* Tue Jun 20 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Revamp balloon.py to account for pages currently being
scrubbed. (#185135)
* Mon Jun 19 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Update to xen-3.0-testing tree, changeset 9749.
- DomUs are getting starved for CPU (up to 40 seconds was seen)
when dom0 has a load. This can cause pathological behavior, and
can cause OCFS2 to fence (panic) the domain. (#179368, #178884)
- Import Gerd's fix to network-bridge script for bug #161888.
* Wed Jun 14 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Pull out accidentally-included debugging code.
- Drop xenvers patch; this was for backwards compatibility for
some early internal builds.
- Update from Jan on the console patch. Not all graphics cards /
drivers properly reflect the state in the register being tested.
Improved the check, to prevent screen corruption. (#161541)
* Tue Jun 13 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Resync with new tarball from xen-3.0-testing; changeset 9738.
* Mon Jun 12 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Drop BUILD_BUG_ON and pirq-shared patches. Last week's pirq
sharing patch from upstream (for bug #152892) makes these patches
redundant. Dropping these makes our shared_info structure match
upstream again, which is needed for compatibility with other
paravirtualized guests.
- Import changeset 9734 from xen-3.0-testing. This fixes a hyper-
call (used by the pcifront driver) to work on MP guests. Without
this, the pciback driver can hang on MP. (#181467)
- Import changeset 9733 from xen-3.0-testing. This patch is
required to match the Linux kernel, since Linux always calls
this operation from VCPU0 during secondary VCPU bringup.
Without this, process run-time accounting on secondary CPUs is
completely wrong.
- Updated README: Documented work-around for bug #180058.
* Fri Jun 09 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Include Jan's patch: "IOPL is ignored for VM86 mode port
accesses. Fix Xen emulation to match native behaivour." Fixes
some X lockup issues. (#179045)
- Include Keir's patch to allow reading from port 0x61, to avoid
an X server lockup. (#171087)
- Include xen-3.0-testing changeset 9726, which is needed to
support the latest kernel-xen. With this support, Linux will
only trigger unhandled IRQ path if IRQ is not shared across
multiple guests (another guest may have handled the interrupt).
This is more upstream work that goes with bug #152892.
- Add versioning to the Requires lines, to guard against mixing
binary incompatible versions. (#183292)
- I accidentially dropped part of Clyde's fix for bug #162244.
SMP support in HVM is working in xen-unstable, so upstream
dropped the HT CPUID masking code, which we then inheirited.
Re-add HT CPUID masking. (#162244)
- Updated README: VNC installations, known issues.
* Thu Jun 08 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Drop our XCHG patch for the equivalent upstream patch, to fix
patch application order. No code change.
* Wed Jun 07 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Updated README: HVM issues/tips, CDROM tips, known issues.
- Add patch from Intel to decode LODS/STOS instructions to fix
Windows installation. Only affects HVM. Xen changeset #9725
consolidates this patch and xen-hvm-decode.diff; drop our 2 in
favor of the consolidated upstream patch. (#176717)
* Tue Jun 06 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Drop xen-8-way-bios patch, because it breaks Windows HVM
installation. The patch was only necessary when running SMP HVM
with "acpi=0" on the kernel command line. (#181974)
- Include two patches from xen-3.0-testing that change the
interface between Xen and guests. Including these now to help
forward-compatibility:
+ 9709: Changes interface for accessing %cr3 so that extra bits
(>4GB) for PAE pgdirs are placed in low-order bits of %cr3.
Kernels without support for this will still run fine.
+ 9721: Use explicitly-sized types in the dom0_ops and privcmd
structures.
- Fix ability to change ISOs images for HVM guest. (#181895)
- Removed pointless whitespace changes from xen-removable.diff, for
better maintainability. Cut the patch size in half; no code
changes.
* Mon Jun 05 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Include select patches from xen-3.0-testing:
+ 9698: Official fix for bug #159001. Dropped our patch.
+ 9702: Fix MMU_NORMAL_PT_UPDATE when passed a page that is no
longer of type page-table.
+ 9703: Modification to fix for bug #159001; ignore empty PTEs.
+ 9704: Fix for obvious typo in map_pages_to_xen: When replacing
a pte, free the page table pointed to by the old entry, not the
new entry.
+ 9705: Jan's previous signed-ness patch (c/s 9695) was changed
when accepted upstream, which broke it; this changeset
attempts to fix the breakage.
+ 9708: HVM: Fix a hang when doing an "xm destroy" of Windows VM.
+ 9717: HVM: Interrupts must be kept disabled when entering Xen
for external interrupt processing.
* Fri Jun 02 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Include xen-3.0-testing changeset 9693. This scales the
ballooning timeout with the amount of memory being requested
(necessary for large memory machines). This is a more proper fix
for Novell bug #175805, and addresses XenSource bug #650.
* Thu Jun 01 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Update the README, regarding how to make the mouse work properly
with VNC in HVM.
- Update help text in mk-xen-rescue-img.
* Wed May 31 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Jan's backport of xen-unstable changesets 9517, 9518, and 9529.
This allows Xen to boot on 4-node configurations without
crashing. (#150114)
- Include patch from Jun Nakajima at Intel to fix inability to
start XWindows after creating HVM guest. (#159001)
- Include select patches from xen-3.0-testing:
+ 9697: Fix infinite recursion loop in get_page_type() error path
- Include xen-unstable changeset 9967, to improve Summagraphics
tablet emulation, to help mouse tracking in HVM. (#167187)
- Include 3 patches from AMD to fix SMP support in HVM. (#176171)
- Add CPUID masking patches from AMD and Intel for HVM. This
prevents the OS from seeing (and trying to use) various hardware
features that are not supported within the VM. (#180879)
* Fri May 26 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Fix deadlock between xm and qemu. Qemu should not call xm;
issue xc commands directly. This deadlock was exposed when
making qemu exit nicely and clean up. (#176400)
- Include Gerd's update to his previous REP MOVS fix. Calculating
high_addr and low_addr is more complicated than previously
thought, and the count was wrong. (#165448).
- Drop previous patch that forcefully turns off Xen's console
logging to avoid video corruption; instead use Jan's patch which
only turns logging off when in graphical mode. (#161541)
- Include Jan's patch to call machine_halt rather than inline
assembly "hlt" when Xen crashes to sync display, disable watchdog
timers, etc.
- Tweak the auto-ballooning patch to limit the VM itself to the
requested amount of memory, don't include the overhead, as
suggested by Intel. Separate calls exist elsewhere to increase
the max as needed. (#149179)
- Include select patches from xen-3.0-testing:
+ 9688, 9696: These remove some broken assembly string
functions. This is prep work from Jan for bug #160066.
+ 9695: Updates in the hypervisor to EDI and ESI could be
incorrect, due to sign not being handled correctly.
* Fri May 19 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Update from Intel to previous patch to fix installation of HVM
W2k. Adds decoding for two more instructions. (#176717)
- Updated the README.
- Included updated version of KY's patch to reserve some lowmem
for PAE, to avoid kernel BUG() during boot. The amounts of
memory reserved at various physical memory sizes have been
adjusted. (#175124)
- Include Intel's patch for unchecked allocations in shadow*.c.
(#149179)
* Thu May 18 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Include Intel's patch to fix installation of HVM W2k. This patch
adds decoding for 'xor' and 'and' instructions. Without this,
the VM crashes when W2k attempts to install network components.
(#176717)
- While tidying xen-hvm-memory-check.diff for submission upstream,
I noticed an error in the patch (such that low-memory while
starting the HVM domain could still crash the physical machine.)
Now all uses of iopm are protected by the check. (#149179)
- Xen must always relinquish control of the VGA console once dom0
has started. Otherwise, it could be over-writing dom0's memory,
causing screen or other memory corruption. Admin can use
"xm dmesg" to view Xen's log instead. (#161541)
- First send a SIGTERM, rather than SIGKILL, to qemu to give it a
chance to clean up. This fixes both mouse and CD-ROM issues
for fully virtualized VMs. This is a work-around; Ross is
still working on the proper fix. (#176400, #171258, #176157)
- Include select patches from xen-3.0-testing:
+ 9682,9683: These patches only affect full virtualization on
AMD. Fixes register corruption, cleans up event injection,
cleans up IO handling.
+ 9685,9686: This patch only affects full virtualization on
Intel. Fixes VM's segment base address, to avoid vmentry
failure. Also remove 32/64 differences in vmx reg store/load.
* Wed May 17 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- When auto-ballooning domain 0's memory for a new HVM domain,
all memory (including memory intended for overhead) was given
to the VM itself. So increasing the memory size calculations
did not actually free up any more memory. Now, treat the amount
to balloon and the amount to give to the VM as separate values.
(#149179)
* Tue May 16 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Include Gerd's fix for HVM emulation of REP MOVS when the copy
spans a page. If the direction flag was set, the emulation code
broke. This caused the VM to freeze when configuring firewall
(#165448).
- Include KY's fix to default to reserving 16M of lowmem for PAE,
to avoid hitting kernel BUG() during boot (#175124).
- Don Dugger's (Intel) fix for HVM screen corruption (#164573).
- Increase maximum time auto-ballooning will wait for domain 0 to
respond, otherwise large VMs will fail to start from yast
(#175805).
* Mon May 15 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Update memory size calculations when auto-ballooning for HVM
to make more stable (#149179).
* Fri May 12 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Include select patches from xen-3.0-testing:
+ 9674: xc_ptrace: Fix reversed conditional, which broke single-
stepping.
+ 9675: xc_ptrace: Fix out-of-bounds memory-access for FPU state.
+ 9678: Fix the performance issues of 2-level paging HVM guests
on the PAE Xen.
- Update man pages.
* Wed May 10 2006 - brogers@novell.com
- Fix loading of binary images which either require PAE or
dynamically support running on both PAE hypervisor and non-PAE
hypervisors. (#174080)
* Wed May 10 2006 - carnold@novell.com
- Handle memory failure when staring fully virtualized
guests to prevent reboot of the box (AMD) or
hanging the box (VT) (#149179).
* Tue May 09 2006 - ccoffing@novell.com
- Include select patches from xen-3.0-testing:
+ 9665: Fix pciif parsing for compatibility variable.
+ 9666: Fix HVM hang; was broken due to previous "hda lost
interrupt" patch. (#169146)
+ 9667: Do not set GP fault in VMCS for VMX (no bug#; from Intel)
* Thu May 04 2006 - cgriffin@novell.com
- Update xen-3.0-testing tree, changeset 9664:
+ Changesets 9663 and 9664 fix AMD fully virtualized
guests causing the system to reboot when
first starting up. (#169855)
* Thu May 04 2006 - cgriffin@novell.com
- With a Xen domain set up with a loop-mountable file as rootfs,
the "xm start " invocation fails. The cause is a bug
domUloader.py (#172586)
* Thu May 04 2006 - rmaxfiel@novell.com
- Added the ability to 'attach' and 'detach' removable media
devices to hvm guests. Also made cdrom eject when the eject
request comes from the hvm guest. (#159907)
- Fixed the loss of mouse when a SDL session ends with 'grab'
in effect. (#159001)
* Thu May 04 2006 - cgriffin@novell.com
- Update xen-3.0-testing tree, changeset 9661:
+ Drop patches merged upstream
+ Took Kier's official patches for dropped patches most
notably spurious interrupts (#152892)
- Took Intel's patch to fix screen corruption when
resizing the screen of windows hvm guests (#164573)
* Wed May 03 2006 - kallan@novell.com
- Added configuring network interfaces when using Xen bridging instructions
to the README.SuSE file as requested by bug #171533.
