...g up on pending patches is to be expected, but it would be nice if things were restructured to make it harder to miss the subarchitectures on arch/i386. The patch known as x86_64-mm-use-per-cpu-gdt-immediately-upon-boot on -mm currently breaks voyager smp support in some very obvious ways. Making init_gdt a function which is called from voyager_smp.c static in smpboot.c a file that is not even used on voayger is an obvious one. Adding start_pda and not setting it in voyager_smp is another. Rusty do you think you can address this? Eric

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) -

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 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 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
