2008-01-30x86: unify set_tss_descGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch unifies the set_tss_desc between i386 and x86_64, which can now have a common implementation. After the old functions are removed from desc_{32,64}.h, nothing important is left, and the files can be removed.

2008-01-30x86: move _set_gate and its users to a common locationGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch moves _set_gate and its users to desc.h. We can now use common code for x86_64 and i386.

2008-01-30x86: unify paravirt pieces of descriptor handlingGlauber de Oliveira Costa
With the types used to access descriptors in x86_64 and i386 now being the same, the code that effectively handles them can now be easily shared. This patch moves the paravirt part of desc_32.h into desc.h, and then, we get paravirt support in x86_64 for free.

2008-01-30x86: modify get_desc_baseGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch makes get_desc_base() receive a struct desc_struct, and then uses its internal fields to compute the base address. This is done at both i386 and x86_64, and then it is moved to common header Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: use the same data type for tls_array.Glauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch changes the type of tls_array in x86_64 to a desc_struct. Now, both i386 and x86_64 tls_array have the same type, and code accessing it can be shared.

2008-01-30x86: unify non-paravirt parts of desc.hGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch unifies the non-paravirt part of desc_{32,64}.h into desc.h. Most of it, is simply common code, that is moved to the shared header. The only exception is the set_ldt_desc in desc_64.h, which is changed - included its name - to accomodate for the way the ldt is set up in i386. Also, constant definitions used in desc_32.h are moved to desc_defs.h Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: move constants to desc_defs.hGlauber de Oliveira Costa

2008-01-30x86: change write_gdt_entry signature.Glauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch changes the write_gdt_entry function signature. Instead of the old "a" and "b" parameters, it now receives a pointer to a desc_struct, and the size of the entry being handled. This is because x86_64 can have some 16-byte entries as well as 8-byte ones.

2008-01-30x86: introduce fill_ldtGlauber de Oliveira Costa

2008-01-30x86: change write_idt_entry signatureGlauber de Oliveira Costa
this patch changes write_idt_entry signature. It now takes a gate_desc instead of the a and b parameters. It will allow it to be later unified between i386 and x86_64.

2008-01-30x86: change gdt acessor macro nameGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch changes the name of x86_64 macro used to access the per-cpu gdt. It is now equal to the i386 version, which will allow code to be shared.

2008-01-30x86: unify struct desc_ptrGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch unifies struct desc_ptr between i386 and x86_64. They can be expressed in the exact same way in C code, only having to change the name of one of them. As Xgt_desc_struct is ugly and big, this is the one that goes away. There's also a padding field in i386, but it is not really needed in the C structure definition.

2008-01-30x86: unify desc_structGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch aims to make the access of struct desc_struct variables equal across architectures. In this patch, I unify the i386 and x86_64 versions under an anonymous union, keeping the way they are accessed untouched (a and b for 32-bit code, individual bit-fields for 64-bit). This solution is not beautiful, but will allow us to integrate common code that differed by the way descriptors were used. This is to be viewed incrementally. There's simply too much code to be fixed at once. In the future, goal is to set up in a single way of acessing the desc_struct fields.

2008-01-30x86: prepare 64-bit architecture initialization for paravirtGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch prepares the x86_64 architecture initialization for paravirt. It requires a memory initialization step, which is done by implementing 64-bit version for machine_specific_memory_setup, and putting an ARCH_SETUP hook, for guest-dependent initialization. This last step is done akin to i386 Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: tweak io_64.h for paravirt.Glauber de Oliveira Costa
We need something here because we can't call in and out instructions directly. However, we have to be careful, because no indirections are allowed in misc_64.c , and paravirt_ops is a kind of one.

2008-01-30x86: prepare time related functions for paravirtGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch add provisions for time related functions so they can be later replaced by paravirt versions. it basically encloses {g,s}et_wallclock inside the already existent functions update_persistent_clock and read_persistent_clock, and defines {s,g}et_wallclock to the core of such functions. it also allow for a later-on-game time initialization, as done by i386. Paravirt guests can set a function to do their own initialization this way.

2008-01-30x86: unify system.hGlauber de Oliveira Costa
