Re: [XenPPC] noHV status

Mark F Mergen wrote:

The problem state Linux on Xen-PPC has been mostly running for about a week, but with some instability due to loose ends in pte flush. This area of Linux has changed significantly since the version used for the prototype based on Rhype, so it's taken a few days to find the right place in Linux to modify. I've generalized the noHV pte insert code in Xen as part of this.

As I predicted in my last note to this list, we've reached the end of progress on simulator. Everything I know how to run on the simple ramdisk system runs and seems stable. Further progress requires integration with Maria's bringup base on Apple G5 hardware, which was set aside for other priorities.

As usual, patches for Xen and Linux are available for interested parties. For those with access to my source tree /a/kix/homes/kix/mergen/xen, the Xen patch is in xen-nohv/xen-nohv and the Linux patch is in linux/linux-2.6.prlp/linux-prlp. You also need the two new Xen files arch/powerpc/powerpc64/nohv.c and include/asm-powerpc/nohv.h. These mods work against Xen and Linux trees from xensource at the time of this note.

Beside the patches and the files you mentioned before, nohv.[hc] what else does one need. Currently I cannot compile
