FW: [Xen-ia64-devel] Add ptc.l emulation for 2.6.17 xenlinux to fixfederon-xen-ia64 boot

In 2.6.16 kernel flush_tlb_range will call global_tlb_purge directly, so ptc.l shouldn't be used when CONFIG_SMP enable. But in order to enhance performance (maybe), 2.6.17 kernel in smp environment will do mm check first. If mm is current->active_mm and the mm (corresponding process) just runs on the local processor, kernel only needs to do ptc.l at local processor instead of global purge. So ptc.l emulation is necessary for 2.6.17 kernel. Hi Aron, With this patch, federon-xen-ia64 with rhel4-u2 can boot to "switch to new root". Seems this error is related to FC6 OS, due to lack of FC6 at hand, we couldn't try to boot it on FC6. Anyway, this patch is a must for boot 2.6.17 kernel. In addition, I attached the boot log, anyone can help to try on FC6 with this patch? Thanks -Xiantao

expected disk performance?
by Ben 24 May '06

24 May '06

Today I upgraded to the new xen and kernel packages that just came out, as I'd been looking forward to all the IO cleanup supposedly in xen 3.0.2. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that my domU's virtual disks still seem to be throttled at around 2MB/s sustain writes for some reason. My dom0 is "much" better at ~14MB/s sustained writes. Is this what other people are seeing? It's painful.

fedora-xen-ia64 first pass
by Aron Griffis 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hello, I've made a first pass at modifying the Fedora Rawhide xen and kernel rpms to support ia64. There is still a lot of work to do before this would be suitable for inclusion in Fedora, but hopefully this represents a proof-of-concept that can be improved to that point. If you'd like to browse or contribute, the bits are available as mercurial repositories at: http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/ There are 5 repositories presently: fedora-xen-rpm Tracks xen.src.rpm from rawhide. fedora-xen-ia64 Pulls from fedora-xen-rpm, contains (trivial) modifications for ia64 fedora-kernel-rpm Tracks kernel.src.rpm from rawhide. fedora-kernel-ia64 Pulls from fedora-kernel-rpm, contains modifications for ia64 xen-ia64-unstable-2.6.17 Forward port of xen-ia64-unstable sparse tree from 2.6.16.13 to 2.6.17, generates linux-2.6-xen.patch for fedora-kernel-ia64 Here is my non-comprehensive list of notes/issues for fedora-kernel-ia64: 1. Upstream xen is presently based on 2.6.16.13. Fedora kernel is (or was yesterday) based on 2.6.17-rc4-git5. To port xen forward, the most maintainable method seems to be to do the port in the context of a xen-ia64-unstable mercurial clone (xen-ia64-unstable-2.6.17 above). Using this method makes it relatively easy to: (a) port forward to a new kernel at any time using the sparse-merge script (b) pull new changes from upstream xen and avoid most manual merging (c) extract a patch at any time that represents the forward-port of xen to a new kernel (d) generate a patch at any time that adds xen support to the fedora kernel (linux-2.6-xen.patch generated with "make mkpatches") The only caveat here is that I probably didn't do the forward port perfectly. In particular I know I bungled the TPM stuff because there are lots of changes going into kernel.org and xen simultaneously. Additionally I didn't pay a lot of attention to other architectures for the moment. Hopefully 2.6.17 will pop any day now, then xen upstream will move to it, and we won't have to carry the forward port in the Fedora patch. If by some chance this doesn't happen, then my forward porting work will need to be revisited. 2. This first pass was created using the xen-ia64-unstable repo instead of the xen-unstable repo. This is because xen-unstable is broken recently on ia64. When the two have been resynced upstream, and xen-unstable works on ia64, we should move this prototype to using xen-unstable (which is what the current Fedora Xen patch is based on). 3. The bare metal config is built for Generic. The xen0 and xenU configs are built for DIG-Compliant. It seems that the kernel won't build for Generic with CONFIG_XEN enabled. Using DIG-compliant for the xen kernels is probably okay for now, but it would be good to get Generic building. 4. After applying patch700 (linux-2.6-xen.patch), the spec file executes xen-mkbuildtree-pre if it exists for the architecture. In effect, this is applying an ia64-specific patch, even though it looks more generic in the spec. The special modifications being made by xen-mkbuildtree-pre need to be folded into linux-2.6-xen.patch to prevent architecture-specific maintenance headaches in the stack of Fedora kernel patches. 5. My forward port broke the exec-shield patch application. Juan has this resolved in his version, but that's based on an older xen-unstable changeset. I commented out patch810-812 for the moment. 6. The xen patch is missing some function prototypes. (I believe this is a problem in xen upstream not something introduced by my port.) The Fedora kernel build normally turns on -Werror-implicit-function-declaration in patch1018 (linux-2.6-debug-Wundef.patch). I commented out this patch for the moment. 7. The hypervisor doesn't build on ia64 with "debug=y verbose=y crash_debug=y". For the moment it builds with default flags on ia64 instead. 8. /sbin/new-kernel-pkg doesn't handle installation of the hypervisor to the EFI partition. This should be a trivial fix. 9. Various other rpms need trivial updates to build/install on ia64, for example libvirt. 10. Anaconda needs updates to handle installation of xen on ia64 (interaction with elilo, etc) 11. After finally getting a full build, I tested it once on my rx2620. The hypervisor booted, but the console didn't get hooked up for xen0, and eventually the machine reset. Hopefully these are trivial configuration or elilo.conf updates, but there may be more work involved. If you'd like to build these rpms for yourself, here's the quick and dirty guide (thanks Anil): hg clone http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/fedora-kernel-ia64 # or http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/fedora-xen-ia64 cd fedora-kernel-ia64 mkdir -p BUILD RPMS/ia64 source bashrc-snippet # might want this in your ~/.bashrc cd SPECS rpmbuild -ba kernel-2.6.spec Regards, Aron

Hi, Aron We have tried to boot xen with your tip, but found the configuration for domain0 opens dom0_VP mode, however, the dom0_VP option of xen was closed by default. Maybe this is the main reason why xen dies at booting xen0. Correct? If they don't match, it is impossible to boot up. Due to not familiar with rpmbuild scripts, so we have to modify it manually to try.
