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 |
Expose Wallclock time to guests
| Contact: xen-devel@lists.xen.org |
| Description: Current Xen on ARM does not popular the wallclock time fields of the shared info with anything useful. It should do so... |
| References: Partial/incomplete code http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/220265 |
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 |
Support for DT /chosen/stdout-path node
| Contact: xen-devel@lists.xen.org |
| Description: ePAPR 1.1 3.5 defines the /chosen/stdout-path property which contains the path to the serial device as a string.
We could potentially make two uses of this:

VCPU virtual time support
| Contact: xen-devel@lists.xen.org |
| Description: Currently the concept of virtual time exposed to the guests is very simplistic and is just a static offset from physical time based on the time when the guest was started. We need to consider if this is actually what is needed/wanted and consider cases such as stolen time etc. |
