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.

This fixes various problems that cropped up with the vdso patches. - Patch 1 fixes an information leak to userspace. - Patches 2 and 3 fix the kernel build on gold. - Patches 4 and 5 fix Xen (I hope). Konrad, could you could test these on Xen and run 'test_vsyscall test' [1]? I don't have a usable Xen setup. Also, I'd appreciate a review of patches 4 and 5 from some

It will make it easier to handle performance regression reports :) [1]

Hi, here is the next version of changes to enable Linux to run as an SEV-ES guest. The code was rebased to v5.7-rc3 and got a fair number of changes since the last version. What is SEV-ES ============== SEV-ES is an acronym for 'Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State' and means a hardware feature of AMD processors which hides the register state of VCPUs to the hypervisor by
