This is a list of open work items and known bugs for the Xen on ARM with virtualization extension project.

In progress
Open Work Items
Save/restore and migration
Contact: xen-devel@lists.xen.org |
Description: Make VM save/restore and VM migration work on ARM. |
References: An initial prototype was written a couple of years ago for arm32 but never completed: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-06/msg02076.html |
PCI device assignment to DomUs
Contact: xen-devel@lists.xen.org |
Description: Assign one or more devices to an unprivileged guest, re-program the SMMU accordingly. |
References: Not specified, useful references. |
ITS support
Contact: xen-devel@lists.xen.org |
Description: Physical and virtual ITS support for GICv3. |
References: Work underway: http://marc.info/?i=1426775889-29442-1-git-send-email-vijay.kilari%40gmail.com |
More flexible early printk support
Contact: xen-devel@lists.xen.org |
Description: Allow a single Xen binary to support multiple platforms for early_printk Rather than parsing the DTB early in asm to get the command line it would probably be sufficient to have a magic hex byte at a specific offset which could be edited by a simple tool. |
References: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/msg01880.html |
Investigation on HCR.FB
Contact: xen-devel@lists.xen.org |
Description: Setting HCR.FB will upgrade local flush instructions (TLB, instruction cache, branch predictor) to innershareable. It would be nice to benchmark the performance impact on a UP-aware kernel and see if this could be reduced by flushing when a vCPU is migrating to another physical CPUs. |
