NUMA node-specific memory allocation
Entry point: xenguest --mode hvm_build
xenguest --mode hvm_build:
It calls
do_hvm_build(),
which calls
stub_xc_hvm_build().
stub_xc_hvm_build()
It starts the HVM/PVH domain creation by filling out the fields of struct flags and struct xc_dom_image and calls hvm_build_setup_mem().
hvm_build_setup_mem()
- Gets
struct xc_dom_image *dom,max_mem_mib, andmax_start_mib. - Calculates start and size of most parts of the domain’s memory maps
- taking memory holes for I/O into account, e.g.
mmio_sizeandmmio_start.
- taking memory holes for I/O into account, e.g.
- It then uses those to calculate
lowmem_endandhighmem_end. - Finally, calls
xc_dom_boot_mem_init().
xc_dom_boot_mem_init()
In all cases, xc_dom_boot_mem_init() is called.
It calls the architecture-specific meminit hook for the domain type:
rc = dom->arch_hooks->meminit(dom);
