similar to: [PATCH 0/2 v05] lguest: TSC & hrtimers

Lguest currently requires a TSC, which breaks older machines and Matt Mackall who boots the host with "notsc". In addition, there is no good solution to changing TSC speeds (informing all the guests about the TSC impending change before it happens would be a great deal of code and have issues with disobedient guests). This patch makes the host determine if the TSC is both constant and

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

[ Changes since last version. - Move lg.h to include/asm instead (suggested by Rusty Russel) - All steps of the series compiles (suggested by Stephen Rothwell) - Better ifdef header naming (suggested by Stephen Rothwell) - Added Andi Kleen to CC (forgot to on V1) ] 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

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.

1) Example code: old libc headers don't have SIOCBRADDIF, and old zlibs don't have gzdirect() -- it's a sanity check anyway. 2) Some people don't build in their source directories, so .config isn't there (thanks to Tony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com>). 3) Point out that guest and host kernel are usually the same. 4) Set the "no checksum" option on the

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, 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
