Apply Clue 2x4 to lguest userland<->kernel handling code and the lguest launcher. Pointers are not to be passed in u32's! Basic rule of thumb: Anything passing u32's back and forth should be passing unsigned longs to be portable to 64 bit archs. For those who forgotten already, I repeat: NO POINTERS IN u32!

Clean up the hypercall code to make the code in hypercalls.c architecture independent. First process the common hypercalls and then call lguest_arch_do_hcall() if the call hasn't been handled. Rename struct hcall_ring to hcall_args. This patch requires the previous patch which reorganize the layout of struct lguest_regs on i386 so they match the layout of struct hcall_args.

Currently we look at the "trapnum" to see if the Guest wants a hypercall. But once the hypercall is done we have to reset trapnum to a bogus value, otherwise if we exit to userspace and return, we'd run the same hypercall twice (that was a nasty bug to find!). This has two main effects: 1) When Jes's patch changes the hypercall args to be a generic "struct hcall_args" we simply change the type of "lg->hcall". It's set by arch code, so if it has to copy args or something it can do so, and point "hcall" into lg->arch somewhere. 2) Async hypercalls only get run when an actual hypercall is pending. This simplfies the code a little and is a more logical semantic. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Move eax next to ebx/ecx/edx in struct lguest_regs on i386, so they will be located together and allow it to map directly to a struct hcall_ring entry (which will be renamed struct hcall_args as in a subsequent patch). This is in preparation for making the code hcall code architecture independent. Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed array of them. This is no longer necessary. If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id" altogether.

In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0. The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with simple additions. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

lguest uses a "switcher" shim mapped high to bounce between host and guest. As lguest becomes less i386-centric, we separate this code into a subdir. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Lguest has two sides: host support (to launch guests) and guest support (replacement boot path and paravirt_ops). This moves the guest side to arch/x86/lguest where it's closer to related code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Currently lguest will spend a lot of of time waking up the host, as it cannot go tickless (if the [host] TSC has been marked unstable). On my laptop I was getting ~40% of wakeups from lguest.

lguest_launcher.h uses "u32" not "__u32", which sets a bad example. Fix that, and include <linux/types.h>. This means we need to use -I on the Launcher build line so types.h is found. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher) currently requires duplication of these structures. Making them includable from userspace is much nicer.

Commit 4f9a58d7 ("increase AT_VECTOR_SIZE to terminate saved_auxv properly") changes the size of AT_VECTOR_SIZE from hard coded '44' to a calculation based on the value of AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH and AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE. The change works for arch/powerpc, but it breaks arch/ppc because the needed AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH is not present in include/asm-ppc/system.h and a default value of 0 is used instead. This results in AT_VECTOR_SIZE being too small and it causes a kernel crash on loading init.
