This patch is based on Rusty's recent cleanup of the EFLAGS-related macros; it extends the same kind of cleanup to control registers and MSRs. It also unifies these between i386 and x86-64; at least with regards to MSRs, the two had definitely gotten out of sync. Signed-off-by: H.

changing i386 COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 1024 attached is a simplistic fix to change kernel's command-line size from 256 to 1024, tomatch capability in syslinux 3.08. It seems to work. Is this all there is to it ? One of the reasons I did this was to figure out what extra options are appearing, and why. b4 extending: (the last bit is truncated) Jun 4 06:31:05 truck kernel: Kernel command

This patch contains the following cleanups: - make needlessly global functions static - journal.c: remove the unused global function __journal_internal_check and move the check to journal_init - remove the following write-only global variable: - journal.c: current_journal - remove the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL: - journal.c: journal_recover Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

This patch contains the following possible cleanups: - make needlessly global functions static - journal.c: remove the unused global function __journal_internal_check and move the check to journal_init - remove the following write-only global variable: - journal.c: current_journal - remove the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's: - journal.c: journal_check_used_features -

Every file should include the headers containing the prototypes for its global functions.

OK, at least two patches got dropped on the way from the mm tree to Andi's tree: the desc.h cleanup, and the processor.h rearrangement. Merging into Andi's tree without these patches must have been a nightmare 8( Andi then tried to fix it with x86_64-mm-paravirt-compile.patch but then it didn't boot so he disabled it in x86_64-mm-paravirt-broken.patch This patch undoes those two

The event reply messages contain a common strucure (kvmi_vcpu_hdr), as any vCPU related command, which allows the receiving worker to dispatch the reply as it does with any other introspection command sent for a specific vCPU.

This patch clarifies a vague statement in the SDM: the recommended maximum number of MSRs that can be automically switched by CPU during VMExit and VMEntry is 512, rather than 512 Bytes of MSRs. Depending on the CPU implementations, it may also support more than 512 MSRs to be auto switched. This can be calculated by (MSR_IA32_VMX_MISC[27:25] + 1) * 512.

Fairly straightforward code motion of MSR / TSC / PMC accessors to the sub-arch level. Note that rdmsr/wrmsr_safe functions are not moved; Linux relies on the fault behavior here in the event that certain MSRs are not supported on hardware, and combining this with a VMI wrapper is overly complicated. The instructions are virtualizable with trap and emulate, not on critical code paths, and only
