So far this is mostly just the basic handover of a stream of migration data from one Xen to the next, and allowing the new Xen to vmap and process it early enough, and reserve the pages which already contain domain data during its "boot". In our development tree, we have a PV Dom0 surviving the transition. We're working on turning those hacks into something we can show in public. I have updated the wiki page at https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Live-Updating_Xen which includes a reference to the handover protocol documentation. This also depends on the hypervisor side of non-cooperative live migration, mentioned below. But as well as that, parts of the memory management are going to intersect with the secret hiding work that you *didn't* call out in this email AFAICT. > * Non-Cooperative Live Migration > - Paul Durrant > > === x86 === > > * Intel Processor Trace virtualization enabling (v1) > - Luwei Kang > > * Linux stub domains (RFC v2) > - Marek Marczykowski-Górecki > > * Fixes to #DB injection > - Andrew Cooper > > * CPUID/MSR Xen/toolstack improvements > - Andrew Cooper > > * Improvements to domain_crash() > - Andrew Cooper > > * EIBRS > - Andrew Cooper > > * Xen ioreq server (v3) > - Roger Pau Monne > > === ARM === > > == Completed == > > > Paul Durrant Attachment:
