      x86: remove the Voyager 32-bit subarch · 965c7eca
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: remove unused/broken code
      
      The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
      and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
      v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.
      
      No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
      Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
      discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
      fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.
      
      In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
      has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
      build problems already known, needs serious and significant
      changes and probably a rewrite to support it.
      
      CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
      been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.
      
      While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
      voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
      clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
      case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
      after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
      fashion.
      
      So remove this inactive code for now.

      lguest: prevent VISWS or VOYAGER randconfigs · b8415ec3
      Randy Dunlap 提交于
      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:

      Lguest support for Virtio · 19f1537b
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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.

      Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementation · 0a8a69dd
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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. · 34b8867a
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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.
