Subject: [patch 00/28]xen: Xen implementation for paravirt_ops Newsgroups: gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel, gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization, gmane.linux.kernel Date: 2007-05-11 00:06:43 GMT (2 years, 7 weeks, 6 days, 11 hours and 29 minutes ago) Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-git13 + patches-2.6.21-git7-070507-1.tar.gz (I think "unwinder" is the only patch which doesn't apply to git13, and the sched-clock patches are the only ones which this series actually needs). Changes since the last posting: - More netfront review and cleanup - Added ability to cleanly halt/reboot guests from outside the domain. - Folded bugfix patches into their main patch - Lots of little style and other cleanups These patches are now moderately well tested, with several successful runs through XenSource's regression test suite, and some amount of non-me testing. While I wouldn't go into production with a xen/paravirt_ops kernel right now, it does seem pretty functional. This series generally restricts itself to Xen-specific parts of the tree, though it does make a few small changes elsewhere. It includes: - some helper routines for allocating address space and walking pagetables - Xen interface header files - Core Xen implementation (boot, mmu, events, time) - Efficient late-pinning/early-unpinning pagetable handling - Virtualized time, including stolen time - SMP support - Preemption support - Batched pagetable updates - Xen console, based on hvc console - Xenbus - Netfront, the paravirtualized network device - Blockfront, the paravirtualized block device Thanks, J -- |
