* x86, VisWS: turn into generic arch, eliminate Kconfig specialsIngo Molnar2008-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | remove leftover traces of various VISWS related Kconfig specials. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86: remove depends on X86_32 from PARAVIRT & PARAVIRT_GUESTEduardo Pereira Habkost2008-01-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | With this, the paravirt_ops code can be enabled on x86_64 also. Each guest implementation (Xen, VMI, lguest) now depends on X86_32. The dependencies can be dropped for each one when they start to support x86_64.

* lguest: prevent VISWS or VOYAGER randconfigsRandy Dunlap2007-11-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Keep lguest from being enabled on VISWS or VOYAGER configs, just as is already done for VMI and XEN. Otherwise randconfigs with VISWS and LGUEST have this problem: In file included from arch/x86/kernel/setup_32.c:61: include/asm-x86/mach-visws/setup_arch.h:8:1: warning: "ARCH_SETUP" redefined In file included from include/asm/msr.h:80, from include/asm/processor_32.h:17, from include/asm/processor.h:2, from include/asm/thread_info_32.h:16, from include/asm/thread_info.h:2, from include/linux/thread_info.h:21, from include/linux/preempt.h:9, from include/linux/spinlock.h:49, from include/linux/seqlock.h:29, from include/linux/time.h:8, from include/linux/timex.h:57, from include/linux/sched.h:53, from arch/x86/kernel/setup_32.c:24: include/asm/paravirt.h:458:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition (and of course, this happens because kconfig does not follow dependencies when [evil] select is used...)

* Lguest support for VirtioRusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices. We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data. We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the host when it changes. We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works quite well. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementationRusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest implementation: 1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements). 2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element. 3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?) 4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate cacheline. 5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

* Move lguest guest support to arch/x86.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+8
Lguest has two sides: host support (to launch guests) and guest support (replacement boot path and paravirt_ops). This moves the guest side to arch/x86/lguest where it's closer to related code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
