2007-07-26lguest: documentation I: PreparationRusty Russell12-17/+153
The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO. Noone ever read it. So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.

2007-07-21clockevents: fix resume logicThomas Gleixner1-0/+2
We need to make sure, that the clockevent devices are resumed, before the tick is resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this. Add CLOCK_EVT_MODE_RESUME and call the set mode functions of the clock event devices before resuming the tick / oneshot functionality. Fixup the existing users. Thanks to Nigel Cunningham for tracking down a long standing thinko, which affected the jinxed VAIO.

2007-07-20lguest: override sched_clockRusty Russell1-1/+8
Guests currently use the default scheduler clock: this means they always use jiffies even if TSC is actually available. It doesn't make any noticeable difference here, but it's a better thing to do. Also remove commented-out asm/sched-clock.h from -mm tree. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-07-20lguest: fix sense if IF flag on interrupt injectionRusty Russell1-5/+5
The sense of the IF bit is backwards in the host interrupt handling. This means we always save "IF=1" on the stack when injecting an interrupt. It turns out this is almost always correct (unless the guest is taking a page fault in an interrupt due to an unpopulated vmalloc mapping), so went unnoticed.

This is the code for the "lg.ko" module, which allows lguest guests to be launched.

2007-07-19lguest: the guest codeRusty Russell3-0/+745
lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux. Unlike kvm it doesn't need VT/SVM hardware. Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go". Unlike both, it's 5000 lines and self-contained. Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile). But given its hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which it supplies a complete example for. There's also a 64-bit version being worked on and other craziness. But most of all, lguest is awesome fun! Too much of the kernel is a big ball of hair. lguest is simple enough to dive into and hack, plus has some warts which scream "fork me!". This patch: This is the code and headers required to make an i386 kernel an lguest guest.
