Hi, all, I have difficulty on setting up lguest. Basic OS info: gcc 4.1.2 glibc: 2.5.1 binutils: 2.17 kernel: 2.6.23-rc1 Following lguest.txt instruction, I build lguest enaled kernel, disable CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO, the host kernel boot fine, but when booting Qemu image using lguest laucher program, the guest kernel vmlinux panic, attached console.txt is console output, and config.txt is kernel

Hi folks, With this series, the bulk of the work of pvops64 is done. Here, I integrate most of the paravirt.c and paravirt.h files, making them applicable to both architectures. CONFIG_PARAVIRT is _not_ present yet. Basically, this code is missing page table integration (patches currently being worked on by Jeremy). Enjoy

This series removes some no longer needed stuff from paravirt infrastructure and puts large quantities of paravirt ops under a new config option PARAVIRT_XXL which is selected by XEN_PV only. A pvops kernel without XEN_PV being configured is about 2.5% smaller with this series applied. tip commit 5800dc5c19f34e6e03b5adab1282535cb102fafd ("x86/paravirt: Fix spectre-v2 mitigations for

With virt_spin_lock() being a pvops function the bare metal case can be optimized by patching the call away completely. In case a kernel running as a guest it can decide whether to use paravitualized spinlocks, the current fallback to the unfair test-and-set scheme, or to mimic the bare metal behavior.

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 Andi, This series of patches updates paravirt_ops in various ways. Some of the changes are plain cleanups and improvements, and some add some interfaces necessary for Xen. The brief overview: add-MAINTAINERS.patch - obvious remove-CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.patch - no longer needed paravirt-nop.patch - mark nop operations consistently paravirt-pte-accessors.patch - operations to pack/unpack
