The clobbers parameter from paravirt_patch_default() et al isn't used any longer. Remove it.

Instead of using six globally visible paravirt ops structures combine them in a single structure, keeping the original structures as sub-structures. This avoids the need to assemble struct paravirt_patch_template at runtime on the stack each time apply_paravirt() is being called (i.e. when loading a module).

[ I think this is a straight repost this patch, which addresses all the previous comments. I'd like to submit this for .24 as the basis for a unified paravirt_ops. Any objections? ] This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of functionally related ops: pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init

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

Ok, I think I've gotten rid of them all, in both 32- and 64-bit versions. It boots here and a bunch of all*config builds pass. --- From: Borislav Petkov <bp at suse.de> Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2018 12:47:10 +0200

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
