Hi Andi, This is a series of patches based on your latest queue (as of the other day, at least). It includes: - the most recent patch to compute the appropriate amount of percpu space to allocate, using a separate reservation for modules where needed. - make the percpu sections page-aligned, so that percpu variables can be page aligned if needed (which is used by gdt_page) -

OK, here it is. Benchmarks still coming. This is against Andi's 2.6.18-rc7-git3 tree, and replaces the patches between (and not including) i386-pda-asm-offsets and i386-early-fault. One patch is identical, one is mildly modified, the rest are re-implemented but inspired by Jeremy's PDA work. Thanks, Rusty. -- Help!

Hi Jeremy, all, Sorry this took so long, spent last week in Japan at OSDL conf then netconf. After several false starts, I ended up with a very simple implementation, which clashes significantly with your work since then 8(. I've pushed the patches anyway, but it's going to be significant work for me to re-merge them, so I wanted your feedback first. The first patch simply changes

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.

Seems to work OK for native and Xen. I had to play a bit with the paravirt-sched-clock patch to deal with the VMI changes. Zach, can you check that it still works? Thanks, J
