Hi all, I've been working on a port of paravirt_ops for the x86_64 architectures for a couple of days. Here's the result so far. I'm posting it soon for early cooments. The more, the better. It's obviously based on the previous work for i386, with the needed modifications. By now, I'm able to boot a bare metal kernel, but there are still some known issues, that are in my TODO

I'm implementing a more efficient version of the Xen iret paravirt_op, so that it can use the real iret instruction where possible. I really need to get access to per-cpu variables, so I can set the event mask state in the vcpu_info structure, but unfortunately at the point where INTERRUPT_RETURN is used in entry.S, the usermode %fs has already been restored. How would you feel if we changed

The paravirt.h file is quite big and the asm interfaces for paravirt don't need to be in the same file as the C interfaces. Move the asm interfaces to a dedicated header file.

OK, this is the revised paravirt.h (Andi has seen this before), then the second is the binary patching stuff. More things get added to the paravirt struct in future patches, but this basic stuff hasn't changed for some time. ==== This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are function

This version over last version: (1) Gets rid of the no_paravirt.h header and leaves native ops in place (with some reshuffling to keep then under one #ifdef). (2) Fixes the "X crashes with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y" bug. (3) Puts __ex_table entry in paravirt iret. Another followup patch implements binary patching... Rusty. === Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which

(Andrew, please sit these in the -mm tree for cooking) Create a paravirt.h header for (almost) all the critical operations which need to be replaced with hypervisor calls. For the moment, this simply includes no_paravirt.h, where all the native implementations now live.

The following patches introduce the core infrastructure needed to paravirtualize the 32-bit x86 Linux kernel. This is done by moving virtualization sensitive insn's or code paths to a function table, paravirt_ops. This structure can be populated with hypervisor specific calls or native stubs and currently support running on bare metal, VMI, Xen, or Lhype. These patches apply to
