Add a blkdev_start parameter to libxl__device_disk_local_attach: it is going to be used in a following patch. blkdev_start specifies the first block device to be used for temporary block device allocations by the toolstack.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | xl remus acts as a frontend to enable remus for a given domain. * At the moment, only memory checkpointing and blackhole replication is supported. Support for disk checkpointing and network buffering will be added in future. * Replication is done over ssh connection currently (like live migration with xl). Future versions will have an option to use simple tcp socket based replication channel (for both Remus & live migration).

* xl: introduce specific VCPU to PCPU mapping in config fileDario Faggioli2012-05-151-7/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xm supports the following syntax (in the config file) for specific VCPU to PCPU mapping: cpus = "0-3,5,^1" # all vcpus run on cpus 0,2,3,5 cpus = ["2", "3"] # VCPU0 runs on CPU2, VCPU1 runs on CPU3 Allow for the same in xl. This fixes what happened in changeset 54000bca7a6a, which introduced suppot for the `cpus=` option within xl, but used both the list (cpus=[2, 3]) and the string (cpus="2,3") syntax for achieving the same behaviour (pin all guest's vcpus to the pcpus in the list/string).

* libxl: Remove libxl_tmem_destroy and associated xl commandIan Campbell2012-04-161-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dan Magenheimer explains in <4c2f7fca-dda2-4598-aaab-3a6a3fe532cd@default>: I think the tmem_destroy functionality pre-dates the existence of tmem "freeable" memory* and was a way for a toolset to force the hypervisor to free up the hypervisor memory used by some or all ephemeral tmem pools. Once the tmem allocation/free process was directly linked into alloc_heap_pages() in the hypervisor (see call to tmem_relinquish_pages()), this forcing function was no longer needed. So, bottom line, I *think* it can be ripped out, or at least for now removed from the definition of the stable xl API/UI. The libxl.c routine libxl_tmem_destroy() could also be removed if you like, but I guess I'd prefer to leave the lower level droppings in xc.c and in the hypervisor in case I am misremembering. Accordingly remove this interface from libxl and xl but don't touch libxc or the hypervisor. This is the only libxl_tmem_* function which might potentially have required conversion to be asynchronous and which therefore might have been a potential API stability concern.

* xl, libxl: Add per-device and global permissive config options for pci ↵George Dunlap2012-04-041-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | passthrough By default pciback only allows PV guests to write "known safe" values into PCI config space. But many devices require writes to other areas of config space in order to operate properly. One way to do that is with the "quirks" interface, which specifies areas known safe to a particular device; the other way is to mark a device as "permissive", which tells pciback to allow all config space writes for that domain and device. This adds a "permissive" flag to the libxl_pci struct and teaches libxl how to write the appropriate value into sysfs to enable the permissive feature for devices being passed through. It also adds the permissive config options either on a per-device basis, or as a global option in the xl command-line. Because of the potential stability and security implications of enabling permissive, the flag is left off by default.

Since this rather directly exposes a libxl data structure it's not clear what sort of forward compatibility guarantees we can make.
