2007-03-05[PATCH] vmi: paravirt drop udelay opZachary Amsden
Not respecting udelay causes problems with any virtual hardware that is passed through to real hardware. This can be noticed by any device that interacts with the real world in real time - like AP startup, which takes real time. Or keyboard LEDs, which should blink in real-time. Or floppy drives, but only when passed through to a real floppy controller on OSes which can't sufficiently buffer the floppy commands to emulate a zero latency floppy. Or IDE drives, when connecting to a physical CDROM. This was mostly a hack to get the kernel to boot faster, but it introduced a number of misvirtualization bugs, and Alan and Pavel argued pretty strongly against it. We were the only client, and now want to clean up this cruft.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisationRusty Russell
Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT. This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops structure with their own variants. All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier. And: +From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup(). Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86: arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of `memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior Move memory_setup() to avoid this.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 3: Enable Generic Timekeepingjohn stultz
This converts the i386 arch to use the generic timeofday subsystem. It enabled the GENERIC_TIME option, disables the timer_opts code and other arch specific timekeeping code and reworks the delay code. While this patch enables the generic timekeeping, please note that this patch does not provide any i386 clocksource. Thus only the jiffies clocksource will be available. To get full replacements for the code being disabled here, the timeofday-clocks-i386 patch will needed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
