Hi all, I've been working on lguest64 and in order to do this, I had to move a lot of the i386 specific out of the way. Well, the lguest64 port is still not ready to display, but before Rusty makes too many changes I would like this in upstream so I don't have to keep repeating my changes :-) So this patch series moves lguest32 out of the way for other archs. -- Steve

The following patches are the latest update of the TSC and hrtimer patches I posted on 29/03. Rusty's original TSC patch has been resynced to the latest lguest repo, as has the hrtimer patch, which also incorporates feedback from Jeremy & Rusty: - Change clock event hrtimer to absolute time. 'now' is captured in the host during the hypercall. - Propagate -ETIME back to the

As promised to Andrew, and with much thanks to Andi Kleen for feedback, this is the new series of lguest patches. Main change is the move to drivers/lguest (for future non-i386 expansion), but lots of cleanups driven by Andi's feedback and the documentation effort (which made me examine every line of code). It's not perfect, but it's definitely useful. Cheers, Rusty. List of

Hi all, These are the patches I'm planning to submit for 2.6.24. Comments gratefully accepted. Along with the usual cleanups and improvements are Jes' de-i386-ification patches, and a new "virtio" mechanism designed to be shared with KVM (and hopefully other hypervisors). Cheers, Rusty.

The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO. Noone ever read it. So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.

Hi all, Lguest is a simple hypervisor which runs Linux under Linux, without needing VT hardware. Two people asked if I had a version of lguest which worked on other-than-bleeding-edge-mm kernels, so I did a backport of the latest version to 2.6.21. http://lguest.ozlabs.org/lguest-2.6.21-254.patch.gz See Documentation/lguest/lguest.txt for how to run, drivers/lguest/README for the draft code

Hi, For some days I have been looking for the bug that causes an easily reproducible oops in the guest when I apply my PAE support _draft_ patch (appended at the end of this mail) to lguest. This is the oops: Setting kernel variables...done. Will now mount local filesystems:. Will now activate swapfile swap:done. Cleaning /tmp... [ 84.749676] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer

Hi all, Gratefully-received recent feedback from CC'd was applied to excellent effect (and the advice from Matt Mackall about my personal appearance is best unrequited). The patch is split in 5 parts to correspond with the 9 parts Andrew sent out before, but here's the summary: 1) Sparse (thanks Christoph Hellwig): - lguest_const can be static now - lguest.c should include
