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

Today paravirtualization is a all-or-nothing game: either a kernel is compiled with no paravirtualization support at all, or it is supporting paravirtualized environments like Xen pv-guests or lguest additionally to some paravirtualized tuning for KVM, Hyperv, VMWare or Xen HVM-guests. As support of pv-guests requires quite intrusive pv-hooks (e.g. all access functions to page table entries,

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge at citrix.com> Hi all, This is a revised version of the pvticket lock series. The early part of the series is mostly unchanged: it converts the bulk of the ticket lock code into C and makes the "small" and "large" ticket code common. The only changes are the incorporation of various review comments. The latter part of

This series replaces the existing paravirtualized spinlock mechanism with a paravirtualized ticketlock mechanism. The series provides implementation for both Xen and KVM. The current set of patches are for Xen/x86 spinlock/KVM guest side, to be included against -tip. I 'll be sending a separate patchset for KVM host based on kvm tree. Please note I have added the below performance result
