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 is a new version of the unified lguest launcher that applies to the current tree. According to rusty's suggestion, I'm bothering less to be able to load 32 bit kernels on 64-bit machines: changing the launcher for such case would be the easy part! In the absence of further objections, I'll commit it. Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> -- =

OK, this is the revised paravirt.h (Andi has seen this before), then the second is the binary patching stuff. More things get added to the paravirt struct in future patches, but this basic stuff hasn't changed for some time. ==== This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are function

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

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

[ This patch depends on the cross-architecture ELF cleanup patch. ] This series updates the boot protocol to 2.07 and uses it to implement paravirtual booting. This allows the bootloader to tell the kernel what kind of hardware/pseudo-hardware environment it's coming up under, and the kernel can use the appropriate boot sequence code. Specifically: - Update the boot protocol to 2.07, which

This patch set is intended for the next merge window. They are just enhancements of the already merged patches or ia64 porting from x86 paravirt techniques and that their quality is enough for merge. This patch set is for binary patch optimization for paravirt_ops. The binary patch optimization is important on native case because the paravirt_ops overhead can be reduced by converting indirect
