I can confirm that c6 is vulnerable, we're running a patched kernel
(local build) using a rhel6 adaptation of the upstream fix.

[RFC] VMI for Xen?
I''m sure everyone has seen the drop of VMI patches for Linux at this
point, but just in case, the link is included below.
I''ve read this version of the VMI spec and have made my way through most
of the patches. While I wasn''t really that impressed with the first
spec wrt Xen, the second version seems to be much more palatable.
Specifically, the code inlining and

[patch 0/6] resend: guest page hinting version 5.
Greetings,
after Carsten pitched CMM2 on the kvm mini summit here is a repost
of version 5 of the guest page hinting patches. The code is still
the same but has been adapted to the latest git level.

[patch 0/6] [rfc] guest page hinting version 5
After way to many months here is the fifth version of the guest page
hinting patches. Compared to version four a few improvements have been
added:
- Avoid page_host_discards() calls outside of page-states.h
- The discard list is now implemented via the page_free_discarded
hook and architecture specific code.
- PG_state_change page flag has been replaced with architecture

[PATCH 0 of 13] Basic infrastructure patches for a paravirtualized kernel

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.
For the most part, these patches do nothing or very little. The

Hi Andi,
Here's a repost of the paravirt_ops update series I posted the other day.
Since then, I found a few potential bugs with patching clobbering,
cleaned up and documented paravirt.h and the patching machinery.
Overview:

No longer meaningful or needed.

[patch 00/20] XEN-paravirt: Xen guest implementation for paravirt_ops interface
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
