Christoph Hellwig said runs sparse: 1) page_tables.c unnecessary initialization 2) Change prototype of run_lguest and do cast in caller instead (when we add __user to cast, it runs over another line). Al Viro pointed out the ugly cast in push_lguest_stack(): 3) Stick with unsigned long for arg, removes 4 casts in total. Most importantly, I now realize that Christoph's incorrect ranting

Impact: potential bugfix In theory, the kernel could reuse the same page as pgdir for a new process while the hypervisor keeps it cached. This would have undesirable results.

lguest needs to hold a reference to its task in case it exits while another Guest is sending it I/O. Otherwise we can oops in access_process_vm->get_task_mm->task_lock().

Hi Linus, First attempt at git, so please pull carefully. I've just put the three i386 boot changes in the repo for the moment. If this works I'll pile on the 44 lguest patches. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-lguest.git Documentation/i386/boot.txt | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S | 15 ++++++++++-

Because of legacy-induced blindness, I insisted on separately building the hypervisor.S switcher code (which is mapped at 0xFFC0000 in host and guest). However, the lguest64 patches showed the error of my ways: it has no relocations, so it can be linked into the module like normal then remapped. The only downside is that we can no longer use sizeof(hypervisor_blob), so we need to allocate our
