* lguest: comment documentation update.Rusty Russell2008-03-281-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | Took some cycles to re-read the Lguest Journey end-to-end, fix some rot and tighten some phrases. Only comments change. No new jokes, but a couple of recycled old jokes. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: documentation updateRusty Russell2007-10-251-3/+5
| | | | | | | | Went through the documentation doing typo and content fixes. This patch contains only comment and whitespace changes. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Revert lguest magic and use hook in head.SRusty Russell2007-10-231-13/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-5/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Move lguest guest support to arch/x86.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+93
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. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
