search for: cpu_initialize_context

When secondary cpus are initialized during an i386 pv-guest restore (due to save/restore or live migration), and the guest has a load that generates a fair number of interrupts (e.g., parallel kernel make), a stack overflow can occur because cpu_initialize_context() has a 2800 byte structure it declares on its stack. linux-i386 has 4K stacks, by default. Using 2800 bytes out of 4K by a single function in a call list isn''t nice; add the beginning of interrupt handling at just the right point, before the switch to the interrupt stack is made... and.....

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-rc7 + your patches + the last batch of pv_ops patches I posted. This patch generally restricts itself to Xen-specific parts of the tree, though it does make a few small changes elsewhere. These patches include: - some helper routines for allocating address space and walking pagetables - Xen

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-git13 + patches-2.6.21-git7-070507-1.tar.gz (I think "unwinder" is the only patch which doesn't apply to git13, and the sched-clock patches are the only ones which this series actually needs). Changes since the last posting: - More netfront review and cleanup - Added ability to

Hi, This is the Xen implementation for the paravirt_ops interface. The series is based on 2.6.22-rc1-mm1, and I think its ready to be cooked in -mm with a view to being merged in 2.6.23. The first part of the series is some small changes to the core kernel. Apart from the new code added in "Allocate and free vmalloc areas" (posted many times before), they are simply a few one-liners

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-git3 + ff patches-2.6.21-git3-070501-1.tar.gz. Changes since the last posting: - reviews of xenbus (me), netfront (hch, rusty, herbert xu) and blockfront (hch), with most comments addressed. Netfront review revealed a couple of real bugs, and the code for all three is looking cleaner

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21 + 2.6.21-070428-1 + the patches I've posted over the last couple of days. Changes since the last posting: - update per review comments - comment each file - comment barrier use - use common cpu sibling setup - fixed a few minor bugs, specifically a traceirq mismatch warning - some

Hi Andi, This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest as a paravirt_ops backend. The features in implemented this patch series are: * domU only * UP and SMP guest support (NEW!) * dynamic ticks (NEW!) * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning (no shadow pagetable support) * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes (non-PAE may be broken at the moment) * xen hvc console
