Use strstr() to look for "bimodal" string in ELF notes, to allow guests to use
"yes,bimodal", so they are correctly identified as PAE on older hypervisors.
[XEN] More emulator fixes:
1. Emulate LAHF/SAHF instructions
2. #GP if instruction is longer than 15 bytes
3. Accept any number of prefix bytes (up to
15-byte total instruction length)
4. Repeated addr/data-size overrides are sticky
rather than toggling.

[PATCH] kexec/kdump: remove unnecessary incusion of asm/fixmap.h
I think this a legacy of an older revision of this code,
but asm/fixmap.h does not seem to be needed in
asm-x86/x86_32/kexec.h or asm-x86/x86_64/kexec.h
That is, neither of these incarntations of kexec.h seem
to do anything related to fixmap directly or indirectly.

This simple patch allows domains created in the xm-test suite to be
created as managed domains using either a parameter to the
XenTestDomain() constructor or by setting the environment variable
XM_MANAGED_DOMAINS and running the tests with it.
[XEN] Emulate DAA/DAS the hard way. We cannot execute the instruction
directly within the emulator as it is unavailable if the emulator runs

When booting via xm, only run the bootloader if it's in non-interactive mode:
otherwise we lose the user's named kernel and try to bootload the temporary
file pygrub returned.
Tim Deegan [Tue, 9 Jan 2007 13:24:40 +0000 (13:24 +0000)]
Pass in kernel/ramdisk settings to pygrub; if specified, don't try to use
grub.conf; this allows hands-off bootloading in the absence of a grub.conf.
It's also useful for specifying temporary changes etc.

[linux build] Build Linux kernels with output files in a separate directory.
Use a single source tree (linux-2.6-xen) and use Linux' O= option to
make the build put output files in a
build-linux-$(LINUX_VER)-$(EXTRAVERSION)_$(XEN_TARGET_ARCH) directory,
making it possible to build both x86_32 and x86_64 kernels in the same

[TOOLS] Improve information displayed by the xm sched-credit command.
The improvement is as follows.
1. The display form is changed like the xm sched-sedf command.
2. When -d option is omitted, information on all domains is
displayed.
Examples:
# xm sched-credit -d vm1
Name ID Weight Cap
vm1 1 512 100
# xm sched-credit
Name ID Weight Cap
Domain-0 0 256 0
vm1 1 512 100
vm2 2 512 50
Enable compatibility mode operation for HYPERVISOR_domctl. Also add logic
to switch a domain to/from compatibility mode (supposed to happen early
after domain creation only).
Enable compatibility mode operation for HYPERVISOR_memory_op,
HYPERVISOR_update_descriptor, HYPERVISOR_update_va_mapping. This also
introduces infrastructure to do argument translation.
Adjust emulation code to deal with compatibility mode guests. This
includes enhancements to emulate_privileged_op() that aren't directly
related to such guests.
Handle the creation of startup info for compatibility mode guests. This
includes a script to auto-generate checking or translation code between
native and compatibility mode hypercall argument structures.
Add logic to generate headers reflecting the compatibility mode layout
of hypercall arguments. Provide infrastructure for accessing handles
passed from compatibility mode guests. Vector those hypercalls not
needing any translation to their native implementations.
Introduce _DOMF_compat and infrastructure as well as several conditionals
dealing with operations that need to distinguish between native and
compatibility mode guests.

Added session.last_active field. Removed the constructors and destructors for
session and task classes -- these are implicitly added and removed, so we
should not have explicit constructors and destructors for them.
Xen 3.0.3 pre-pended all configuration prior to the user-specified
args in the boot cmdline. Restore this behaviour to fix
incompatabilities with fragile parsers in some domU kernels.
