Hi Rusty, I had a look over your 011-paravirt-head.S.patch. I'm struggling to come up with a list of any benefits over having separate entrypoints for each hypervisor. Multiple entry pros: * allows maximum startup flexibility for any given hypervisor * for Xen at least, it's pretty simple * the "what hypervisor am I under" question is answered trivially cons:

The following dump-core patches changes its format into ELF, adds PFN-GMFN table, HVM support, and adds experimental IA64 support. - ELF format Program header and note section are adopted. - HVM domain support To know the memory area to dump, XENMEM_set_memory_map is added. XENMEM_memory_map hypercall is for current domain, so new one is created. and hvm domain builder tell xen its

Hi Andrew, This series of patches lays the basic ground work for the paravirtualized kernel patches coming later on. I think this lot is ready for the rough-and-tumble world of the -mm tree. The main change from the last posting is that all the page-table related patches have been moved out, and will be posted separately. Also, the off-by-one in reserving the top of address space has been

I've updated the patches at http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/paravirt/?mf=33ba6c4fce13;path=/ to carve out the basic shape of how I see all this fitting together. These patches implement an initial set of Xen paravirt ops, as well as adapting head.S to set up a Xen-specific entrypoint. The head.S code does absolutely minimal setup, and then calls xen_start_kernel(). This installs the 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 only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu) * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning (no shadow pagetable support) * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes * xen hvc console (console=hvc0) *
