* vt-d: add a vt-d howto setup documentKeir Fraser2007-10-251-0/+50
| | | | | | | docs/misc/vtd.txt is a vt-d how-to document that should answer questions about how to use vt-d with latest Xen. Signed-off-by: Allen Kay <allen.m.kay@intel.com>
* [IA64] Don't share privregs with hvm domainAlex Williamson2007-10-221-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't share privregs with hvm domain and twist IA64 xen dump core format slightly. Xen shares privregs pages with IA64 HVM domain for xm dump-core to dump the pages. However sharing the page allows hvm guest domain peek/destroy the page contents that might cause xen crash. And the xen dump core file doesn't need privregs page because cpu context should be obtained from vcpu context in case of IA64 HVM domain. Although this patch modify xen dump core format, current crash utility (at least crash 4.0-4.7) doesn't look into .xen_ia64_mmapped_regs section and I don't know any other tools to understand xen dump core file. So this format modification doesn't cause incompatibility issue. Signed-off-by: Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp>
* Replace sysctl.physinfo.sockets_per_node with more directly usefulKeir Fraser2007-10-191-1/+0
| | | | | | | | sysctl.physinfo.nr_cpus. This also avoids miscalculation of sockets_per_node by Xen where the number of CPUs in the system is clipped. From: Elizabeth Kon <eak@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Keir Fraser <keir@xensource.com>
* [vTPM] Add set/get_other_config to Xen-API.Keir Fraser2007-10-111-0/+67
| | | | | | | | | Add get_- and set_other_config methods to the vTPM class. Write the parameters into the xenstore while the domain is running prefixing it with 'oc_'. Also I add the methods to the C library as well as the documentation. Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@us.ibm.com>
* Extend 'xm dumppolicy' to support Xen-APIKeir Fraser2007-10-031-1/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I am extending 'xm dumppolicy' to be used via the Xen-API. For this there are two new functions in the ACM policy class: - get the currently enforced policy including statistical data from the hypervisor - get the ACM 'ssidref' of a Domain. Since this may be a ACM-specific variable or type (int) I put it into the ACM class. I extended the Xen-API documentation with the two new functions. Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <Stefanb@us.ibm.com>

* acm: Changes to XML schema of the policykfraser@localhost.localdomain2007-04-251-26/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the XML schema of the ACM policy to require a version and that every conflict set have a name. Every VM label must have one Chinese Wall Type and every resource label one Simple Type Enforcement Type. As a consequence of this some example policies needed to be changed. Also not offering that many configuration options for compiling xen anymore to make things simpler. Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@us.ibm.com>
