XenBus - The Xen Paravitual Bus Device Driver for Windows

The XenBus package consists of three device drivers:

  • xenbus.sys is a bus driver which attaches to a virtual device on the PCI bus and provides child devices for the other paravirtual device drivers to attach to.

  • xen.sys is a support library which provides interfaces for communicating with the Xen hypervisor

  • xenfilt.sys is a filter driver which is used to handle unplugging of emulated devices (such as disk and network devices) when paravirtual devices are available

Miscellaneous

For convenience the source repository includes some other scripts:

kdfiles.py

This generates two files called kdfiles32.txt and kdfiles64.txt which can be used as map files for the .kdfiles WinDBG command.

clean.py

This removes any files not checked into the repository and not covered by the .gitignore file.

get_xen_headers.py

This will import any necessary headers from a given tag of that Xen repository at git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.
