* stable/vga.support:
xen: allow enable use of VGA console on dom0
|
|
Get the information about the VGA console hardware from Xen, and put
it into the form the bootloader normally generates, so that the rest
of the kernel can deal with VGA as usual.
[ Impact: make VGA console work in dom0 ]

This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).
Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.
A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be
found at:

Xen has a pte update function which will update a pte while preserving
its accessed and dirty bits. This means that ptep_modify_prot_start() can be
implemented as a simple read of the pte value. The hardware may
update the pte in the meantime, but ptep_modify_prot_commit() updates it while
preserving any changes that may have happened in the meantime.
The updates in ptep_modify_prot_commit() are batched if we're currently in lazy
mmu mode.
The mmu_update hypercall can take a batch of updates to perform, but
this code doesn't make particular use of that feature, in favour of
using generic multicall batching to get them all into the hypervisor.
The net effect of this is that each mprotect pte update turns from two
expensive trap-and-emulate faults into they hypervisor into a single
hypercall whose cost is amortized in a batched multicall.

Add xen VIRQ numbers defined for arch specific use.
ia64/xen domU uses VIRQ_ARCH_0 for virtual itc timer.
Although all those constants aren't used yet by ia64
at this moment, add all arch specific VIRQ numbers.

Add xen hypercall numbers defined for arch specific use.
ia64/xen domU uses __HYPERVISOR_arch_1 to manipulate paravirtualized
IOSAPIC. Although all those constants aren't used yet by IA64 at this
moment, add all arch specific hypercall numbers.

Add Xen interface header files. These are taken fairly directly from
the Xen tree, but somewhat rearranged to suit the kernel's conventions.
Define macros and inline functions for doing hypercalls into the
hypervisor.
