2008-06-24x86: KVM guest: Use the paravirt clocksource structs and functionsGerd Hoffmann
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 registering the physical address within the host.

2008-06-24x86: Add structs and functions for paravirt clocksourceGerd Hoffmann
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 CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK. Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.

2008-06-05PCI/x86: fix up PCI stuff so that PCI_GOANY supports OLPCAndres Salomon
Previously, one would have to specifically choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOOLPC in order to enable PCI_OLPC. That doesn't really work for distro kernels, so this patch allows one to choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOANY in order to build in OLPC support in a generic kernel (as requested by Robert Millan). This also moves GOOLPC before GOANY in the menuconfig list. Finally, make pci_access_init return early if we detect OLPC hardware. There's no need to continue probing stuff, and pci_pcbios_init specifically trashes our settings (we didn't run into that before because PCI_GOANY wasn't supported).

2008-05-25Kconfig: introduce ARCH_DEFCONFIG to DEFCONFIG_LISTSam Ravnborg
init/Kconfig contains a list of configs that are searched for if 'make *config' are used with no .config present. Extend this list to look at the config identified by ARCH_DEFCONFIG. With this change we now try the defconfig targets last.

2008-04-30x86: use defconfigs from x86/configs/*Sam Ravnborg
Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> reported: In 2.6.23, if you unpacked a kernel source tarball and then ran "make menuconfig" you'd be presented with this message: # using defaults found in arch/i386/defconfig and the default options would be set. The same thing in 2.6.24 does not give you any "using defaults" message, and the default config options within menuconfig are rather blank (e.g. no PCI support). You can work around this by explicitly running "make defconfig" before menuconfig, but it would be nice to have the behaviour the way it was for 2.6.23 (and the way it still is for other archs). Fixed by adding a x86 specific defconfig list to Kconfig.

quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86, as documented at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991 the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as: Quicklists: 1194304 kB given how much trouble this code has caused historically, and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86 (years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.

It's always been broken, but recent fixes actually made it do something, and now the brokenness shows up as the resulting kernel simply not working at all. So it used to be that you could enable this config option, and it just didn't do anything. Now we'd better stop people from enabling it by mistake, since it _does_ do something, but does it so badly as to be unusable.

2008-02-14KVM is not seen under X86 config with latest git (32 bit compile)Balbir Singh
The KVM configuration is no longer visible in the latest git tree. It looks like it is selected by HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA. I've moved HAVE_KVM to under CONFIG_X86.

2008-02-09ide: introduce HAVE_IDESam Ravnborg

This is a step towards introducing drivers/Kconfig for arm.
