similar to: [PATCH 0/5] KVM paravirt_ops backend (v3)

This is the start of a paravirt_ops implementation for KVM. Most of it was done by Ingo Molnar, I just moved things around a bit. I don't think there's a measurable performance benefit just yet but there are a few more optimizations that I think we can get in time for 2.6.23 that will be measurable. Regards, Anthony Liguori

Hi, This patch series is an update of my previous paravirt_ops patches. They are loosely based on Ingo's original paravirt_ops implementation for KVM. Some of the changes since the last series include: 1) Switch to using CPUID 0x40000000 instead of using MSR writes to discover shared memory area 2) Attempt to deal with SMP guests 3) Support for generic CR read caching 4) Support for

Hi all, I've been working on a set of easy-to-run benchmarks for hypervisor optimization called virtbench, and the latest commit adds Xen support. http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/virtbench http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/virtbench/?archive/tip.tar.bz2 >From the README: # Build the code make # Set the guest kernel location and maybe more vi ./SETTINGS # Run the benchmark (local mode)

I just rebased my paravirt_ops patch queue to current git. Looks like almost all the pre-req patches are now in, which is nice. The only missing thing from your patches was you sched_clock patches and the sched_clock paravirt-op. Are there still problems with either your sched_clock patch or the paravirt patch? Should I resubmit the paravirt-sched_clock patch based on git? The only other

This series contain fixes to make the paravirt_ops code compile and boot on x86_64. This is a follow-up for the previous series from Glauber.

Now that paravirt-ops is a fully patched, purely functional interface, which appropriately generates bugs when patches fail to get applied, it need no longer be exported to modules. Modules will be patched at load time, and need no boot time fallback which references paravirt-ops.

Hi Andi, This series of patches updates paravirt_ops in various ways. Some of the changes are plain cleanups and improvements, and some add some interfaces necessary for Xen. The brief overview: add-MAINTAINERS.patch - obvious remove-CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.patch - no longer needed paravirt-nop.patch - mark nop operations consistently paravirt-pte-accessors.patch - operations to pack/unpack

Some of these boot hooks do not need to be patched, in fact, it is better not to patch them at all and thus keep them totally private.
