Hi, all, I have difficulty on setting up lguest. Basic OS info: gcc 4.1.2 glibc: 2.5.1 binutils: 2.17 kernel: 2.6.23-rc1 Following lguest.txt instruction, I build lguest enaled kernel, disable CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO, the host kernel boot fine, but when booting Qemu image using lguest laucher program, the guest kernel vmlinux panic, attached console.txt is console output, and config.txt is kernel

This is a small series getting rid of paravirt patching by switching completely to alternative patching for the same functionality. The basic idea is to add the capability to switch from indirect to direct calls via a special alternative patching option. This removes _some_ of the paravirt macro maze, but most of it needs to stay due to the need of hiding the call instructions from the compiler

This changes the pv ops code generation to more closely match reality. For example, instead of: callq *0xffffffff81e3a400 (pv_irq_ops.save_fl) vmlinux will now show: pushfq pop %rax nop nop nop nop nop which is what the runtime version of the code will show in most cases. This idea was suggested by Andy Lutomirski. The benefits are: - For the most common runtime cases
