This patch series enables use of the 'APIC assist' enlightenment in Xen. See section 13.3.4.1 of the Microsoft Hypervisor Top Level Function Specification v4.0b at:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyperv_on_windows/develop/tlfs for more information. Patch #1 modifies the viridian code to keep the guest APIC assist pages mapped for the lifetime of the domain (and incorporates a straightforward data-structure change). Patch #2 adds a new viridian code and a configuration option to the toolstack that, when enabled, allows the local APIC emulation to make use the APIC assist pages. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
