Fairly straight code motion. Split non-virtualizable pieces of processor.h into default and VMI subarches. CPUID is non-virtualizable, since it doesn't trap, and very often the hypervisor will want to hide specific feature bits from the kernel. To provide a replacement for call sites that use CPUID as a serializing instruction, the sync_core() macro is still available. Signed-off-by:

I am having problems installing a custom int3 handler from a com32 app. Here is what I have tried: void int3_handler() { put_str("int3!!!"); __asm__("iret"); } void init_handlers() { struct { unsigned long limit : 16; unsigned long base : 32; } __attribute__((packed)) idtr; __asm__("sidt

Hi Ahmad, Yes, merging works good. However, my problem is like this - I have a C library which consists of 1000's of functions spread through various files. The functions do not have dependency amoung each other. I want to link only relavant files( files which have functions called from my application). Since ar has a global symbol table, I believe it should be faster to look for a symol in

Hi all, I've been working on a port of paravirt_ops for the x86_64 architectures for a couple of days. Here's the result so far. I'm posting it soon for early cooments. The more, the better. It's obviously based on the previous work for i386, with the needed modifications. By now, I'm able to boot a bare metal kernel, but there are still some known issues, that are in my TODO

Hi Ankur, Since you use -Xclang, the clang executable passes multiple triples to "clang -cc1". You can see that if you add the -v option. I'm sure there is someone here who can explain it better than I... Anyhow, I think you better use clang -cc1. Make sure -cc1 is the first command line option you use. $ clang -cc1 -fno-builtin -emit-llvm-bc -triple spir-unknown-unknown
