* [NET]: Document some simple rules for actionsJamal Hadi Salim2007-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds documentation on what is expected of an action which branches away from the action-graph or when it needs to trample on actins. It also describes what is expected of users of such actions. Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@cyberus.ca> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset. This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4 (LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3, but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them. Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Version 2.07 of the boot protocol uses 0x23C for the hardware_subarch field, that for lguest is "1". This allows us to use the standard boot entry point rather than the "GenuineLguest" string hack. The standard entry point also clears the BSS and copies the boot parameters and commandline for us, saving more code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* | | Example launcher handle guests not being ready for inputRusty Russell2007-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently discard console and network input when the guest has no input buffers. This patch changes that, so that we simply stop listening to that fd until the guest refills its input buffers. This is particularly important because hvc_console without interrupts does backoff polling and so often lose characters if we discard. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages. 2) It means we don't have to know page_offset. 3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code. 4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset. 5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular). 6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial hypercall give us that, too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Updates for version 2.07 of the boot protocol. This includes: load_flags.KEEP_SEGMENTS- flag to request/inhibit segment reloads hardware_subarch - what subarchitecture we're booting under hardware_subarch_data - per-architecture data The intention of these changes is to make booting a paravirtualized kernel work via the normal Linux boot protocol.
