| | | | | | | | | Add a couple of documentation details about PV-GRUB support - the menu.lst content can be passed as a ramdisk. - virtual partitions are not supported. Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org>

* stubdom: drop lwip supportKeir Fraser2009-04-231-15/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Network support is still provided the same way: using the tap interface, created in qemu using netfront. The lwip stack is still available to avoid additional compilation issues. However the stubdom is not going to have its own vif anymore, this means that the only vnc server supported is the one in dom0. You can still enable the vnc server in a stubdom at compile time, if you want so. Probably the most important change caused by this patch to xen users is that you don't have to specify two vif in the stubdom config file anymore, but just one: -vif = [ '', 'ip=10.0.1.1,mac=aa:00:00:12:23:34'] +vif = ['ip=10.0.1.1,mac=aa:00:00:12:23:34'] Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com>

* Add PV-GRUBKeir Fraser2008-06-181-10/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | This fetches GRUB1 sources, applies the {graphical, print function, save default, and ext3_256byte} patches from debian, and applies a patch to make it work on x86_64 and port it to Mini-OS. By using libxc, PV-GRUB can then "kexec" the loaded kernel from inside the domain itself, hence permitting to avoid the security-concerned pygrub.

* stubdom: use PVFB so as to e.g. permit SDL displayKeir Fraser2008-02-281-18/+57
| | | | | | | | This adds support in ioemu for PVFB frontend as stubdomain display. This permits for instance to use SDL in dom0 to perform the eventual display. Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@eu.citrix.com>

* Add stubdomain support. See stubdom/README for usage details.Keir Fraser2008-02-121-0/+41
- Move PAGE_SIZE and STACK_SIZE into __PAGE_SIZE and __STACK_SIZE in arch_limits.h so as to permit getting them from there without pulling all the internal Mini-OS defines. - Setup a xen-elf cross-compilation environment in stubdom/cross-root - Add a POSIX layer on top of Mini-OS by linking against the newlib C library and lwIP, and implementing the Unixish part in mini-os/lib/sys.c - Cross-compile zlib and libpci too. - Add an xs.h-compatible layer on top of Mini-OS' xenbus. - Cross-compile libxc with an additional xc_minios.c and a few things disabled. - Cross-compile ioemu with an additional block-vbd, but without sound, tpm and other details. A few hacks are needed: - Align ide and scsi buffers at least on sector size to permit direct transmission to the block backend. While we are at it, just page-align it to possibly save a segment. Also, limit the scsi buffer size because of limitations of the block paravirtualization protocol. - Allocate big tables dynamically rather that letting them go to bss: when Mini-OS gets installed in memory, bss is not lazily allocated, and doing so during Mini-OS is unnecessarily trick while we can simply use malloc. - Had to change the Mini-OS compilation somehow, so as to export Mini-OS compilation flags to the Makefiles of libxc and ioemu.
