2021-05-07treewide: remove editor modelines and cruftMasahiro Yamada1-10/+0
The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any of these in source files." I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one. Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups. It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it. If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

2014-10-03xen: sync some headers with xen treeJuergen Gross1-2/+46
To be able to use an initially unmapped initrd with xen the following header files must be synced to a newer version from the xen tree: include/xen/interface/elfnote.h include/xen/interface/xen.h As the KEXEC and DUMPCORE related ELFNOTES are not relevant for the kernel they are omitted from elfnote.h.

2014-01-06xen/pvh: Support ParaVirtualized Hardware extensions (v3).Mukesh Rathor1-0/+13
PVH allows PV linux guest to utilize hardware extended capabilities, such as running MMU updates in a HVM container. The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt, with modifications): "* the guest uses auto translate: - p2m is managed by Xen - pagetables are owned by the guest - mmu_update hypercall not available * it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation, * IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest. For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting callback vector." Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the assembler from putting null char after each string before \. This patch allows it to be configured and enabled. We also use introduce the 'XEN_ELFNOTE_SUPPORTED_FEATURES' ELF note to tell the hypervisor that 'hvm_callback_vector' is what the kernel needs. We can not put it in 'XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES' as older hypervisor parse fields they don't understand as errors and refuse to load the kernel. This work-around fixes the problem.

2008-06-02xen: add new Xen elfnote types and use them appropriatelyJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+20
Define recently added XEN_ELFNOTEs, and use them appropriately. Most significantly, this enables domain checkpointing (xm save -c). Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-18xen: Add Xen interface header filesJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+133
Add Xen interface header files. These are taken fairly directly from the Xen tree, but somewhat rearranged to suit the kernel's conventions. Define macros and inline functions for doing hypercalls into the hypervisor.
