This patchset is for more paravirtualization on ia64/pv_ops. - paravirtualize fsys call (fsys.S) by multi compile - paravirtualize gate page (gate.S) by multi compile - support save/restore For this purpose, the followings needs to be paravirtualized - ar.itc instruction - sched_clock() This is because timer may changed before/after saving/restoring. For convenience the working full

This patch set is 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 does - remove existing warnings - paravirtualize fsys call (fsys.S) by multi compile - paravirtualize gate page (gate.S) by multi

Hi. I rewrote the patch according to the comments. I adopted generating in-place code because it looks the quickest way. The point Eddie wanted to discuss is how to generate code and its ABI. i.e. in-place generating v.s. direct jump v.s. indirect function call Indirect function call doesn't make sense because ivt.S is compiled multi times. And it is up to pv instances to choose in-place

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/pv_ops support which is the framework for virtualization support. Changes from take 5 are rebased to Linux 2.6.26-rc3, bug fix ivt.S paravirtualization and multi entry point support. I believe these patches can be applied to the linux ia64 repository. On x86 various ways to support virtualization were proposed, and eventually pv_ops won. So on ia64 the pv_ops

Hi. This patchset implements xen/ia64 domU support. Qing He and Eddie Dong also has been woring on pv_ops so that I want to discuss before going further and avoid duplicated work. I suppose that Eddie will also post his own patch. So reviewing both patches, we can reach to better pv_ops interface. - I didn't changed the ia64 intrinsic paravirtulization abi from the last post. Presumably it
