Lguest currently requires a TSC, which breaks older machines and Matt Mackall who boots the host with "notsc". In addition, there is no good solution to changing TSC speeds (informing all the guests about the TSC impending change before it happens would be a great deal of code and have issues with disobedient guests). This patch makes the host determine if the TSC is both constant and

The following patches are the latest update of the TSC and hrtimer patches I posted on 29/03. Rusty's original TSC patch has been resynced to the latest lguest repo, as has the hrtimer patch, which also incorporates feedback from Jeremy & Rusty: - Change clock event hrtimer to absolute time. 'now' is captured in the host during the hypercall. - Propagate -ETIME back to the

The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO. Noone ever read it. So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.

Hi all, I've been working on lguest64 and in order to do this, I had to move a lot of the i386 specific out of the way. Well, the lguest64 port is still not ready to display, but before Rusty makes too many changes I would like this in upstream so I don't have to keep repeating my changes :-) So this patch series moves lguest32 out of the way for other archs. -- Steve

[ Changes since last version. - Move lg.h to include/asm instead (suggested by Rusty Russel) - All steps of the series compiles (suggested by Stephen Rothwell) - Better ifdef header naming (suggested by Stephen Rothwell) - Added Andi Kleen to CC (forgot to on V1) ] Hi all, I've been working on lguest64 and in order to do this, I had to move a lot of the i386 specific out of the

Hi all, These are the patches I'm planning to submit for 2.6.24. Comments gratefully accepted. Along with the usual cleanups and improvements are Jes' de-i386-ification patches, and a new "virtio" mechanism designed to be shared with KVM (and hopefully other hypervisors). Cheers, Rusty.

Hi Linus, Here's a set of patches to update paravirt_ops and Xen for 2.6.24 A quick overview of the patchset: paravirt_ops: Remove the monolithic paravirt_ops structure, and replace it with smaller structures of related functions. Also, clean up the handling of lazy mode to make it easier to implement. x86/mm/init.c: remove a chunk of dead code Xen: - remove duplicate includes -
