2008-04-24xen: fold xen_sysexit into xen_iretJeremy Fitzhardinge
xen_sysexit and xen_iret were doing essentially the same thing. Rather than having a separate implementation for xen_sysexit, we can just strip the stack back to an iret frame and jump into xen_iret. This removes a lot of code and complexity - specifically, another critical region.

2008-04-24xen: jump to iret fixupJeremy Fitzhardinge
Use jmp rather than call for the iret fixup, so its consistent with the sysexit fixup, and it simplifies the stack (which is already complex).

2008-04-24xen: support sysenter/sysexit if hypervisor doesJeremy Fitzhardinge
64-bit Xen supports sysenter for 32-bit guests, so support its use. (sysenter is faster than int $0x80 in 32-on-64.) sysexit is still not supported, so we fake it up using iret.

2008-04-17x86: only enable interrupts when kernel state has been set upJeremy Fitzhardinge
The sysenter path tries to enable interrupts immediately. Unfortunately this doesn't work in a paravirt environment, because not enough kernel state has been set up at that point (namely, pointing %fs to the kernel percpu data segment). To fix this, defer ENABLE_INTERRUPTS until after the kernel state has been set up. Unfortunately this means that we're running with interrupts disabled for a while without calling the IRQ tracing code, but that can't be called without setting up %fs either.

2008-01-30x86: irqflags consolidationGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch consolidates the irqflags include files containing common paravirt definitions. The native definition for interrupt handling, halt, and such, are the same for 32 and 64 bit, and they are kept in irqflags.h. the differences are split in the arch-specific files. The syscall function, irq_enable_sysexit, has a very specific i386 naming, and its name is then changed to a more general one.

2007-10-16paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_opsJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of functionally related ops: pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too) pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else pv_time_ops - time-related functions pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state pv_apic_ops - APIC operations pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables There are several motivations for this: 1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff while allowing separate implementations where needed. 2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply). 3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable. Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.
