Hi,
I am working on MPC8360E Security Engine. I have ported the Openswan
2.4.5(IPSec --KLIPS) with OCF to MPC8360E's Security Engine (Talitos).
Encryption and Decryption is working. But when I check the performance of
Talitos with netio benchmark Tool, IPSec S/W Algorithms is giving more

I found a clever way to make the extra IOPL switching invisible to
non-paravirt compiles - since kernel_rpl is statically defined to
be zero there, and only non-zero rpl kernel have a problem restoring IOPL,
as popf does not restore IOPL flags unless run at CPL-0.

The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a

The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow
page tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky.
We need to clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under

Change audit to register a task watcher function rather than modify
the copy_process() and do_exit() paths directly.
Removes an unlikely() hint from kernel/exit.c:
if (unlikely(tsk->audit_context))
audit_free(tsk);
This use of unlikely() is an artifact of audit_free()'s

Make the keyring code use a task watcher to initialize and free per-task data.
NOTE:
We can't make copy_thread_group_keys() in copy_signal() a task watcher because
it needs the task's signal field (struct signal_struct).

This is version 2 of my Task Watchers patches with performance enhancements.
Task watchers calls functions whenever a task forks, execs, changes its
[re][ug]id, or exits.
Task watchers is primarily useful to existing kernel code as a means of making
the code in fork and exit more readable.
Associate function calls with significant events in a task's lifetime much like
we handle kernel and module init/exit functions. This creates a table for each
of the following events in the task_watchers_table ELF section:
WATCH_TASK_INIT at the beginning of a fork/clone system call when the

On the G965, the GTT size may be larger than is required to cover the aperture.
(In fact, on all hardware we've seen, the GTT is 512KB to the aperture's
256MB). A previous commit forced the aperture size to 512MB on G965 to match
GTT, which would likely
While looking at commit 8ddeeae51f2f197b4fafcba117ee8191b49d843e,
I got the impression that this commit couldn't fix anything, since the
"size" variable can't be changed before "fit" gets used.
Is there any big thinko, or is the patch below that slightly simplifies
update_size() semantically

Beats me. I gave up trying to understand BIOS authors motivations years ago.
