Add pte_flags() to extract the flags from a pte. This is a special case of pte_val() which is only guaranteed to return the pte's flags correctly; the page number may be corrupted or missing. The intent is to allow paravirt implementations to return pte flags without having to do any translation of the pa...

Hey Jeremy, Please pull from devel/pat (based off your xen/dom0/core tree) which has one patch: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (1): xen/pat: make pte_flags(x) a pvops function. which is neccessary for the drivers/gpu/drm/radeon driver to work properly with AGP based cards (which look to be the only ones that try to set WC on pages). Also please pull from devel/kms.fixes-05 (based off your xen/dom0/agp) which has the following patches: Daniel De Gr...

...ump_bytes I do see instructions such as e8 6a 90 60 e1 get replaced with 66 66 66 90 so I see the the instructions getting patched over. To get a better feel for this I tried this on baremetal, and (this is going to sound a bit round-about way, but please bear with me), I was working on making the pte_flags be paravirt (so it is a function instead of being a macro) and noticed that on on an AMD A8-3850, with a CONFIG_PARAVIRT and CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER and running kernelbench it would run slower than without CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER. I am not really sure what the problem is, but based on those experim...

This series takes one more step towards cpu-ification of lguest. As for rusty's last suggestion, I get rid of the whole bunch of "struct lguest *lg = cpu->lg" statements around by using lg_cpu as our base structure wherever it matters. (this saves us 11 lines)

Hi all, [ Change since last post: change name to ptep_modify_prot_, on the grounds that it isn't really a general pte-modification interface. ] This little series adds a new transaction-like abstraction for doing RMW updates to a pte, hooks it into paravirt_ops, and then makes use of it in Xen. The basic problem is that mprotect is very slow under Xen (up to 50x slower than native),

Hi, 2.6.29-rc3 x86_64 guest on x86_64 RHEL5.3 host: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/484295 kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:123! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC last sysfs file: /sys/devices/vbd-51712/block/xvda/xvda2/dev CPU 0 Modules linked in: ipv6 xts lrw gf128mul sha256_generic cbc dm_crypt

The issue at hand is that any prolonged usage of radeon or nouveau driver ends up corrupting the file system or we end up with mysterious crashes of applications. There are three ways of fixing it: a). A proper fix: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/10/228 . I posted the same fix for 3.2 way back in December but it got nowhere. The recent posting has also been meet with silence. Not being happy

...d mapping > > from Xen->Linux PAT formats, which is a problem some of the in-kernel > > drivers also had.  Konrad, how did that turn out in the end? Attic. I''ve turned it off since we had corruption issues (the WC didn''t turn back into WB b/c of page_attr using the pte_flag instead of pte_var). Peter was talking about some software PAT lookup code but I hadn''t focused on that. There is also some performance numbers to run and collect.

Hi all, This little series adds a new transaction-like abstraction for doing RMW updates to a pte, hooks it into paravirt_ops, and then makes use of it in Xen. The basic problem is that mprotect is very slow under Xen (up to 50x slower than native), primarily because of the ptent = ptep_get_and_clear(mm, addr, pte); ptent = pte_modify(ptent, newprot); /* ... */ set_pte_at(mm, addr, pte,
