paravirt: add an "mm" argument to alloc_pt

2007-07-18T15:47:40+00:00

It's useful to know which mm is allocating a pagetable. Xen uses this to determine whether the pagetable being added to is pinned or not. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

SLUB: i386 support

2007-05-12T18:26:22+00:00

SLUB cannot run on i386 at this point because i386 uses the page->private and page->index field of slab pages for the pgd cache. Make SLUB run on i386 by replacing the pgd slab cache with a quicklist. Limit the changes as much as possible. Leave the improvised linked list in place etc etc. This has been working here for a couple of weeks now.

[PATCH] x86: adjust inclusion of asm/fixmap.h

2007-05-02T17:27:04+00:00

Move inclusion of asm/fixmap.h to where it is really used rather than where it may have been used long ago (requires a few other adjustments to includes due to previous implicit dependencies). Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

[PATCH] MM: page allocation hooks for VMI backend

2007-02-13T12:26:21+00:00

The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky. We need to clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to correctly copy the shadow. We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which makes shadowing them rather simple. For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page, and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool. Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or released.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
