Your patch makes VmWare2 build, but it doesn't make it work: - VmWare fails to allocate memory (see http://anders.fix.no/test/vmware/1.png and http://anders.fix.no/test/vmware/2.png). - There seems to be something wrong with

Hello! I''m working on a guest OS port which uses NetBSD drivers, and I''m currently working on the netfront support. I''m basing the driver on the FreeBSD 7.0 driver, and I''ve run into a problem in network_alloc_rx_buffers. Parts of the code with line numbers is given below, and I''ll try to explain where the problem occurs. The basic problem is that

tags 516774 = patch tags 516294 = upstream thanks Hi! Please find attached a diff closing #516774 by adding mkstemp(3), again with a minimalistic pseudo-arc4random(3) behind it. I?ve revisited the code. An mkstemp testsuite from the ?net shows it works, except for not caring how many ?X?en are in the template. Addressing #516294, it allows compiling and linking an mksh from today?s CVS against

Move header includes for the nopud / nopmd types to the location of the actual pte / pgd type definitions. This allows generic 4-level page type code to be written before the split 2/3 level page table headers are included.

Hooks are provided for the mach-XXX subarchitecture at the time prior to a page being used as a page table at all levels, for PAE and non-PAE kernels. Note that in PAE mode, multiple PDP roots may exist on the same page with other data, so the root must be shadowed instead. This is not a performance issue, since PAE only uses 4 top level PDPEs. The hooks are: SetPagePTE(ppn) - indicates that a

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky at de.ibm.com> The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to reserve space in the page table: s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
