Hi, This series integrate the processor.h header. There are a lot of things that are deeply architectural differences between architectures, but I've done my best to come to a settlement. With this series, I am very close to have selectable paravirt for x86_64, It applies ontop of today's x86 git, mm branch.

With removal of lguest some of the paravirt functions are no longer needed. Remove them.

Paravirt ops is currently only capable of either replacing a lot of Linux internal code or none at all. The are users that don't need all of the possibilities pv-ops delivers though. On KVM for example we're perfectly fine not using the PV MMU, thus not touching any MMU code. That way we don't have to improve pv-ops to become fast, we just don't compile the MMU parts in! This

This series removes some no longer needed stuff from paravirt infrastructure and puts large quantities of paravirt ops under a new config option PARAVIRT_XXL which is selected by XEN_PV only. A pvops kernel without XEN_PV being configured is about 2.5% smaller with this series applied. tip commit 5800dc5c19f34e6e03b5adab1282535cb102fafd ("x86/paravirt: Fix spectre-v2 mitigations for

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,

Hi, this is a series of patches that unify the struct desc_struct and friends across x86_64 and i386. As usual, it provides paravirt capabilities as a side-effect for x86_64. I consider the main goal, namely, of unifying the desc_struct, an ongoing effort, being this the beginning. A lot of old code has to be touched to accomplish that. I don't consider this patch ready for inclusion.
