2008-05-27[IA64] pvops: add to hooks, pv_time_ops, for steal time accounting.Isaku Yamahata
Introduce pv_time_ops which adds hook to steal time accounting. On virtualized environment, cpus are shared by many guests and steal time is the time which is used for other guests. On virtualized environtment, streal time should be accounted. Signed-off-by: Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2008-05-27[IA64] pvops: add hooks, pv_irq_ops, to paravirtualized irq related operations.Isaku Yamahata
introduce pv_irq_ops which adds hooks to paravirtualize irq related operations. On virtualized environment, interruption may be replaced by something virtualization friendly. So the irq related operation also may need paravirtualization. This patch adds necessary hooks to paravirtualize irq related operations.

2008-05-27[IA64] pvops: add hooks, pv_iosapic_ops, to paravirtualize iosapic.Isaku Yamahata
add hooks to paravirtualize iosapic which is a real hardware resource. On virtualized environment it may be replaced something virtualized friendly. Define pv_iosapic_ops and add the hooks. Signed-off-by: Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2008-05-27[IA64] pvops: paravirtualize entry.SIsaku Yamahata
paravirtualize ia64_swtich_to, ia64_leave_syscall and ia64_leave_kernel. They include sensitive or performance critical privileged instructions so that they need paravirtualization. To paravirtualize them by single source and multi compile they are converted into indirect jump. And define each pv instances.

2008-05-27[IA64] pvops: introduce pv_cpu_ops to paravirtualize privileged instructions.Isaku Yamahata
introduce pv_cpu_ops to paravirtualize privleged instructions which are defined by ia64 intrinsics. make them indirect C function calls by introducing function tables, pv_cpu_ops.
