similar to: [PATCH 00/50] ia64/xen take 3: ia64/xen domU paravirtualization

Hi. I rewrote the patch according to the comments. I adopted generating in-place code because it looks the quickest way. The point Eddie wanted to discuss is how to generate code and its ABI. i.e. in-place generating v.s. direct jump v.s. indirect function call Indirect function call doesn't make sense because ivt.S is compiled multi times. And it is up to pv instances to choose in-place

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/pv_ops support which is the framework for virtualization support. Please review and comments. On x86 various ways to support virtualization were proposed, and eventually pv_ops won. So on ia64 the pv_ops strategy is appropriate too. Later I'll post the patchset which implements xen domU based on ia64/pv_ops. Currently only ia64/xen pv_ops implementation

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/pv_ops support which is the framework for virtualization support. Changes from take 5 are rebased to Linux 2.6.26-rc3, bug fix ivt.S paravirtualization and multi entry point support. I believe these patches can be applied to the linux ia64 repository. On x86 various ways to support virtualization were proposed, and eventually pv_ops won. So on ia64 the pv_ops

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/pv_ops support which is the framework for virtualization support. Now all the comments so far have been addressed, but only a few exceptions.

Later I'll post the patchset which implements xen domU based on ia64/pv_ops.

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/xen domU support based on ia64/pv_ops frame work which was sent as another patchest. Changes from take 5 are rebased to Linux 2.6.26-rc3, bug fix ivt.S paravirtualization and multi entry point support. I believe these patches can be applied to the linux ia64 repository. This patchset does the followings. - Some preparation work. Mainly importing header files to

This patchset is for more paravirtualization on ia64/pv_ops. - paravirtualize fsys call (fsys.S) by multi compile - paravirtualize gate page (gate.S) by multi compile - support save/restore For this purpose, the followings needs to be paravirtualized - ar.itc instruction - sched_clock() This is because timer may changed before/after saving/restoring. For convenience the working full

This patchset is ia64/xen domU patch take 12. Tony, please commit those patches. They are ready to commit because all the issues which were pointed out had been addressed and got enough reviews. This patchset does the followings. - Some preparation work. Mainly importing header files to define related structures. - Then, define functions related to hypercall which is the way to communicate
