Basic infrastructure for Xen S3 support with a common CPU context save/restore logic for both 32bit and 64bit. Wakeup code is split into two parts: - the first locates after trampoline code, to share all the tricks on the latter, like relocation base and identy mapping - the 2nd part locates in xen code segment, to do the actual CPU context restore Signed-off-by Ke Yu

.. for both 32-bit apps in 64-bit pv guests and 32on64. This patch depends on more than just guest_context saved/restored as guest state during save/restore/migrate (namely the new fields holding callback addresses). Since the 32-bit kernel doesn''t make use of syscall (it would be possible to do so now, when running on a 64-bit hv), the compat mode guest code path for syscall

Hmmm, interesting to see both Fast Writes and Side Band

Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0: a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros. b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.) c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them. d. Change the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros. Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert

This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest in terms of the paravirt-ops interface. The features in implemented this patch series are: * domU only * UP only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu) * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning (no shadow pagetable support) * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes * xen console * virtual block

Unlike full virtualization in which the virtual machine provides the same platform interface as running natively on the hardware, paravirtualization requires modification to the guest operating system to work with the platform interface provided by the hypervisor. Xen was designed with performance in mind. Calls to the hypervisor are minimized, batched if necessary, and non-critical codepaths
