Hi Linus, Here's a set of patches to update paravirt_ops and Xen for 2.6.24 A quick overview of the patchset: paravirt_ops: Remove the monolithic paravirt_ops structure, and replace it with smaller structures of related functions. Also, clean up the handling of lazy mode to make it easier to implement. x86/mm/init.c: remove a chunk of dead code Xen: - remove duplicate includes - yield if the target vcpu of an IPI is not currently running - add post-batch callbacks for multicalls [*] - deal with unpinning pagetables when another vcpu still [*] has a cr3 reference - deal with split ptelocks by pinning each pte page separately under lock - determine the kernel/hypervisor address split dynamically - use the right arg structure for register_vcpu_info [*] - add extra debugging output for failed multicalls XFS: - eagerly unmap vmapped areas to avoid confict with Xen [*] bugfix needed for 2.6.23. I've also cc:d them to stable@xxxxxxxxxx Diffstat: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c | 4 arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets_32.c | 14 arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S | 2 arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_32.c | 234 ++++++++----- arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c | 211 ++++++------ arch/x86/mm/init_32.c | 22 - arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c | 295 +++++++++------- arch/x86/xen/mmu.c | 149 ++++++-- arch/x86/xen/multicalls.c | 52 ++ arch/x86/xen/multicalls.h | 5 arch/x86/xen/smp.c | 14 arch/x86/xen/time.c | 6 arch/x86/xen/xen-ops.h | 10 drivers/char/hvc_lguest.c | 2 drivers/lguest/core.c | 6 drivers/lguest/lguest.c | 154 ++++---- drivers/lguest/lguest_bus.c | 2 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_buf.c | 13 include/asm-x86/paravirt.h | 507 ++++++++++++++++------------- include/asm-x86/pgtable-3level-defs.h | 2 include/xen/interface/vcpu.h | 5 mm/Kconfig | 1 22 files changed, 1027 insertions(+), 683 deletions(-) Thanks, J _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
