A Xen-aware bootloader would set xen,xen-bootargs for Xen, xen,dom0-bootargs

Creating Multiple Domains directly from Xen
|
||||
===========================================
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to have Xen create other domains, in addition to dom0,
|
||||
out of the information provided via device tree. A kernel and initrd
|
||||
(optional) need to be specified for each guest.
|
||||
|
||||
For each domain to be created there needs to be one node under /chosen
|
||||
with the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
- compatible
|
||||
|
||||
For domUs: "xen,domain"
|
||||
|
||||
- memory
|
||||
|
||||
A 64-bit integer specifying the amount of kilobytes of RAM to
|
||||
allocate to the guest.
|
||||
|
||||
- cpus
|
||||
|
||||
An integer specifying the number of vcpus to allocate to the guest.
|
||||
|
||||
- vpl011
|
||||
|
||||
An empty property to enable/disable a virtual pl011 for the guest to use.
|
||||
|
||||
- #address-cells and #size-cells
|
||||
|
||||
Both #address-cells and #size-cells need to be specified because
|
||||
both sub-nodes (described shortly) have reg properties.
|
||||
|
||||
Under the "xen,domain" compatible node, one or more sub-nodes are present
|
||||
for the DomU kernel and ramdisk.
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel sub-node has the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
- compatible
|
||||
|
||||
"multiboot,kernel"
|
||||
|
||||
- reg
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the physical address of the kernel in RAM and its
|
||||
length.
|
||||
|
||||
- bootargs (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Command line parameters for the guest kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
The ramdisk sub-node has the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
- compatible
|
||||
|
||||
"multiboot,ramdisk"
|
||||
|
||||
- reg
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the physical address of the ramdisk in RAM and its
|
||||
length.
