x86/lguest: Remove lguest support

2017-08-24T07:57:28+00:00

Lguest seems to be rather unused these days. It has seen only patches ensuring it still builds the last two years and its official state is "Odd Fixes". Remove it in order to be able to clean up the paravirt code.

Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest changes in this cycle were: - reworking of the e820 code: separate in-kernel and boot-ABI data structures and apply a whole range of cleanups to the kernel side.

x86/lguest/timer: Set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks

2017-04-14T20:11:12+00:00

In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware, all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant. Make the x86 arch's lguest clockevent driver initialize these fields properly. This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this driver.

x86/boot/e820: Create coherent API function names for E820 range operations

2017-01-28T13:42:32+00:00

We have these three related functions: extern void e820_add_region(u64 start, u64 size, int type); extern u64 e820_update_range(u64 start, u64 size, unsigned old_type, unsigned new_type); extern u64 e820_remove_range(u64 start, u64 size, unsigned old_type, int checktype); But it's not clear from the naming that they are 3 operations based around the same 'memory range' concept. Rename them to better signal this, and move the prototypes next to each other: extern void e820__range_add (u64 start, u64 size, int type); extern u64 e820__range_update(u64 start, u64 size, unsigned old_type, unsigned new_type); extern u64 e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, unsigned old_type, int checktype); Note that this improved organization of the functions shows another problem that was easy to miss before: sometimes the E820 entry type is 'int', sometimes 'unsigned int' - but this will be fixed in a separate patch.

x86/boot/e820: Rename 'e820_map' variables to 'e820_array'

2017-01-28T08:33:15+00:00

In line with the rename to 'struct e820_array', harmonize the naming of common e820 table variable names as well: e820 => e820_array e820_saved => e820_array_saved e820_map => e820_array initial_e820 => e820_array_init This makes the variable names more consistent and easier to grep for.

x86/boot/e820: Move asm/e820.h to asm/e820/api.h

2017-01-28T08:31:13+00:00

In line with asm/e820/types.h, move the e820 API declarations to asm/e820/api.h and update all usage sites. This is just a mechanical, obviously correct move & replace patch, there will be subsequent changes to clean up the code and to make better use of the new header organization.

clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12+00:00

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is unambiguous. Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script: @rem@ @@ -typedef u64 cycle_t; @fix@ typedef cycle_t; @@ -cycle_t +u64 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: John Stultz

x86/fpu: Remove clts()

2016-11-01T06:47:55+00:00

The kernel doesn't use clts() any more. Remove it and all of its paravirt infrastructure. A careful reader may notice that xen_clts() appears to have been buggy -- it didn't update xen_cr0_value.
