From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Chris Wright Subject: [PATCH 0/7] x86 paravirtualization infrastructure Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2006 19:45:04 -0700 Message-ID: <20061029024504.760769000@sous-sol.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: virtualization-bounces@lists.osdl.org Errors-To: virtualization-bounces@lists.osdl.org To: akpm@osdl.org, ak@muc.de Cc: virtualization@lists.osdl.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: virtualization@lists.linuxfoundation.org The following patches introduce the core infrastructure needed to paravirtualize the 32-bit x86 Linux kernel. This is done by moving virtualization sensitive insn's or code paths to a function table, paravirt_ops. This structure can be populated with hypervisor specific calls or native stubs and currently support running on bare metal, VMI, Xen, or Lhype. These patches apply to 2.6.19-rc2-mm2 plus the last set of paravirt prep patches that Rusty sent. thanks, -chris -- From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org via listexpand id S964943AbWJ2Co5 (ORCPT ); Sat, 28 Oct 2006 22:44:57 -0400 Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org id S964947AbWJ2Co5 (ORCPT ); Sat, 28 Oct 2006 22:44:57 -0400 Received: from 216-99-217-87.dsl.aracnet.com ([216.99.217.87]:60584 "EHLO sous-sol.org") by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S964943AbWJ2Co5 (ORCPT ); Sat, 28 Oct 2006 22:44:57 -0400 Message-Id: <20061029024504.760769000@sous-sol.org> User-Agent: quilt/0.45-1 Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2006 19:45:04 -0700 From: Chris Wright To: akpm@osdl.org, ak@muc.de Cc: Rusty Russell , Jeremy Fitzhardinge , Zachary Amsden , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, virtualization@lists.osdl.org Subject: [PATCH 0/7] x86 paravirtualization infrastructure Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The following patches introduce the core infrastructure needed to paravirtualize the 32-bit x86 Linux kernel.
