...ently deals with all the usual cases, but there's a rare case where a vcpu is changing cr3, but is doing so lazily, and the change hasn't actually happened by the time the pagetable is unpinned, even though it appears to have been completed. This change adds a second per-cpu cr3 variable - xen_current_cr3 - which tracks the actual state of the vcpu cr3. It is only updated once the actual hypercall to set cr3 has been completed. Other processors wishing to unpin a pagetable can check other vcpu's xen_current_cr3 values to see if any cross-cpu IPIs are needed to clean things up. Signed-off-by:...

This is my current set of updates to Xen for 2.6.24. This is largely a bugfix set, and a couple of them are also relevent to 2.6.23. These are in the pre-x86 merge form; I'll update them once the merge goes into git. Quick overview: - remove some dead code in arch/i386/mm/init.c - clean up some duplicate includes - when sending an IPI, yield the vcpu if the destination doesn't have

Hi Linus, Here's a set of patches to update paravirt_ops and Xen for 2.6.24 A quick overview of the patchset: paravirt_ops: Remove the monolithic paravirt_ops structure, and replace it with smaller structures of related functions. Also, clean up the handling of lazy mode to make it easier to implement. x86/mm/init.c: remove a chunk of dead code Xen: - remove duplicate includes -

Hi. Recently the xen-ia64 community started to make efforts to merge xen/ia64 Linux to upstream. The first step is to merge up domU portion. This patchset is preliminary for xen/ia64 domU linux making the current xen/x86 domU code more arch generic and adding missing definitions and files. Diffstat: arch/x86/xen/Makefile | 4 +- arch/x86/xen/grant-table.c | 91

Hi Jeremy. According to your suggestion, I recreated patches for Ingo's x86.git tree. And this patch series includes Eddie's modification. Please review and forward them. (or push back to respin.)

Hi. This patchset implements xen/ia64 domU support. Qing He and Eddie Dong also has been woring on pv_ops so that I want to discuss before going further and avoid duplicated work. I suppose that Eddie will also post his own patch. So reviewing both patches, we can reach to better pv_ops interface. - I didn't changed the ia64 intrinsic paravirtulization abi from the last post. Presumably it
