Hi,
Even I am pretty much new to Xen source. I am trying to add an adaptive nature to the xen scheduler, so that it dynamically alters between two scheduling policies (algorithms) without having to recompile xen. I am finding little difficulty in learning where exactly the scheduler is called and how the context of the domain is stored, so that I can do a context switch between domains while toggling between different scheduling policies.

Regards
Ananth

Hi,
I am new to Xen and want to understand the Xen design from the source code. Please could you let me know the entry points in the Xen HyperVisor?
Also what are the files I should look into as a beginner. I have started looking into the domain_create() function from the domain.c file.
Thanks,
Sumeet
