[Xen-devel] Xen supported LAPIC features

["Hoyer, David" <David.Hoyer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am working at getting VxWorks to boot as a guest OS on Xen/Debian as an SMP 
guest (HVM).   I have run into a couple problems that I was hoping could be 
addressed by this group.   None of the other groups seemed to discuss at a low 
enough level which is why I am starting here.

I noticed that the LAPIC timer does not seem to be supported by Xen.  Is this 
correct and if so, are there plans of supporting it?   VxWorks defaults to 
LAPIC timer for the system timer so it would be beneficial to have that support 
in XEN if we are to be able to run with an unmodified VxWorks kernel.

I also noticed that reading from address 0xfee00020 always returns 0 when it 
should be returning which core is running.   I found a way around that by using 
a CPUID command but this begs the question of what else is not supported of the 
LAPIC commands.
