set console.limit command in the test was never being run. The select in
Console.py was never timing out because there was always someting to read on
the fd, the OOM messages are constant. So the test would hang.
The fix includes:
1) Changing MEM in 15_create_smallmem_pos.py to 32MBs, which is the default
for the tools that should work.
2) Change the XmConsole init to add an argument to set the console limit
when it's created.
3) Set a default large limit for console so we won't hang in the future.
4) Added a new 16_create_smallmem_neg.py test to handle failure situation.
5) Added comment in README.

and missed pit timer injections. The Xen hypervisor should get back to
the normal mode when the gdb connection is closed. With the attached
patch gdbserver properly detaches from the guest when the gdb detaches
or quits.

drive image or a TPM, to be migrated to a remote machine. The patch
hooks into the checkpointing (XendCheckpoint.py) code and performs
migration in 4 different steps:
In a 1st step (step = 0 in the code) migration of all devices of a
domain is 'tested', that means their driver implementations (blkif.py,
netif.py, tpmif.py, usbif.py, pciif.py) are queried whether migration is
possible at all. Currently all device representations respond with a
'yes' (=0), although probably a VM mounting a hard drive partition
should respond with a 'no' (-1) already. This first step is a quick
check to see whether devices can be migrated.
The 2nd step is to do whatever can be done before the domain is
suspended. At this point migration of the device could be initiated, if
at all possible.
The 3rd step is to migrate a device after the domain has been suspended,
meaning that it is not scheduled anymore and the VM is 'settled'. All
devices are called again and a good implementation would initiate the
migration in a background process to achieve as much concurrency as
possible.
The 4th step is to synchronize with the 3rd step. At this point the
implementor has to make sure that anything that was initiated in step 3
has completed. Once all steps 4 have been processed, the VM will resume
on the remove machine.
I have implemented hooks for migration of a virtual TPM in
xen/xend/server/tpmif.py. These hooks call a configurable external
migration tool using the os.popen() call with a fixed command line
parameter set. The implementation refuses to migrate a VM attached to a
virtual TPM if no tool has been provided for migration.
All other devices do not currently overload the 'migrate' method defined
in the DevController.py and therefore will just let migration happen.
I have added hooks for error recovery such that whatever part of
migration has been initiated can be rolled back when any of the devices
fail to migrate in one of the steps. The interface (in tpmif.py) to the
external application now uses os.popen() to allow error handling by
reading the application's output.

The primary purpose of this patch is to add support for non-polling
access to the xen trace buffers. The hypervisor changes have already
been accepted.
Also included are a few bug fixes and some minor new features:
1. If xenmon is run without first allocating trace buffers (via
'setsize') and enabling them (via 'tbctl'), then this is done
automatically using sensible defaults.
2. There was a bug that caused the first second's worth of data output
from xenmon to be erroneous; This has been fixed.
3. There was a bug that caused xenmon to sometimes not display data for
newly created domains; This has also been fixed.
4. The xenmon display has a 'heartbeat' which flickers once per second.
This is to show that xenmon is still alive, even though the display
isn't changing at all, a situation that can happen sometimes when there
is nothing at all happening on a particular cpu.
5. Added cpu utilization display to the top of the xenmon window.
6. Added a bunch of options in xenmon to control exactly which metrics
are displayed, so the screen doesn't get cluttered with stuff you're not
interested in. The new options are:
--allocated
--noallocated
--blocked
--noblocked
--waited
--nowaited
--excount
--noexcount
--iocount
--noiocount
7. Added an option ("--cpu=N") to xenmon to specify which physical cpu
you'd like data displayed for.
8. Updated the README with information about default trace buffer size, etc.

not found in the CD drive then main() in vl.c exits and the guest appears
to hang. This patch modifies vl.c slightly to check for the presents of
media. If the cdrom cannot be opened then the cd entry is removed from
hd_filename[] and bs_table[] allowing the guest to continue initializing.
If the guest requires the CD media then the guest should report, gracefully
or otherwise, that it's missing.

paravirtualized and fully virtualized. This approach uses the new
sched_op to handle other domains than the current domain. The new
code, SCHEDOP_remote_shutdown, is very much like SCHEDOP_shutdown, but
is called with the id of the domain which is to be shut down. This
allows fully virtualized shutdown and para-virtualized shutdown to be
identical from that point forward.
A paravirtualized domain uses sched_op to shut down and set the reason
code. This will send a VIRQ_DOM_EXC, which can be handled in dom0 by
control software. In some ways, this resembles SIGCHILD/waitpid, and
is a reasonable model.
The fully virtualized case has qemu invoke xm directly. This is a
different path than paravirtualized. It also removes decision and
policy making choices from the rest of the control software and places
it within qemu. When any dom0 logic eventually gets a VIRQ_DOM_EXC,
the information about the domain is gone having been destroyed by xm.
A libxenctrl wrapper, xc_shutdown_domain has been added and qemu now
calls it.
As a freebie, #if 0 some very verbose logging code in qemu. Totally
unrelated, but as long as I was there...

As reported in the thread:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-03/msg00721.html,
pygrub does not open ext2 file systems in partitioned images or sub
partitions on e.g. CentOS/RHEL 4, because e2fsprogs ext2fs_open does not
support an offset into the file to be opened.
With this patch, the error is correctly reported instead of a generic
"unable to open file" (and leaving the user searching in the dark).
