[RFC 1/3] hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq. The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs

[RFC 2/3] virtio_console: use virtqueue notification for hvc_console

This patch exploits the new notifier callbacks of the hvc_console. We can use the virtio callbacks instead of the polling code. I also added a small Kconfig change that allows the user to specify the virtio console in menuconfig. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

[PATCH 1/5] Add structs and functions for paravirt clocksource.

This patch adds structs for the paravirt clocksource ABI used by both xen and kvm (pvclock-abi.h). It also adds some helper functions to read system time and wall clock time from a paravirtual clocksource (pvclock.[ch]). They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using

[PATCH 4/5] Make kvm guest use the paravirt clocksource structs and functions.

This patch updates the kvm host code to use the pvclock structs and functions, thereby making it compatible with Xen. The patch also fixes an initialization bug: on SMP systems the per-cpu has two different locations early at boot and after CPU bringup. kvmclock must take that in account when

[PATCH 5/5] Remove now unused structs from kvm_para.h

The kvm_* structs are obsoleted by the pvclock_* ones. Now all users have been switched over and the old structs can be dropped. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- include/asm-x86/kvm_para.h | 18 -- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git

You sent these patches to kvm-owner, ie. the mailing list owner, and not the list itself which would be plain kvm. ___ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org
