Paravirtualized spinlocks produce some overhead even if the kernel is running on bare metal. The main reason are the more complex locking and unlocking functions. Especially unlocking is no longer just one instruction but so complex that it is no longer inlined. This patch series addresses this issue by adding two more pvops functions to reduce the size of the inlined spinlock functions. When

Hi everyone, I am very excited to see that dom0 pvops is finally coming close to working, so I wanted to give it a try. >From the description it was not clear to me which kernel to chose as base for the patches.hg, so I took the latest (that was ~ 2 weeks ago) kernel on git.kernel.org I could find (post-2.6.28 git tip at that point). I managed to more or less apply all of the patches in the

This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest in terms of the paravirt-ops interface. 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 console * virtual block

Unlike full virtualization in which the virtual machine provides the same platform interface as running natively on the hardware, paravirtualization requires modification to the guest operating system to work with the platform interface provided by the hypervisor. Xen was designed with performance in mind. Calls to the hypervisor are minimized, batched if necessary, and non-critical codepaths
