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.

Add the "nosegneg" fake capabilty to the vsyscall page notes. This is used by the runtime linker to select a glibc version which then disables negative-offset accesses to the thread-local segment via %gs. These accesses require emulation in Xen (because segments are truncated to protect the hypervisor address space) and avoiding them provides a measurable performance boost.

The tsc-based get_scheduled_cycles interface is not a good match for Xen's runstate accounting, which reports everything in nanoseconds. This patch replaces this interface with a sched_clock interface, which matches both Xen and VMI's requirements. In order to do this, we: 1. replace get_scheduled_cycles with sched_clock 2. hoist cycles_2_ns into a common header 3. update vmi accordingly One thing to note: because sched_clock is implemented as a weak function in kernel/sched.c, we must define a real function in order to override this weak binding. This means the usual paravirt_ops technique of using an inline function won't work in this case.

In a virtual environment, device drivers such as legacy IDE will waste quite a lot of time probing for their devices which will never appear. This helper function allows a paravirt implementation to lay claim to the whole iomem and ioport space, thereby disabling all device drivers trying to claim IO resources.

Add a hook so that the paravirt backend knows when the allocator is ready. This is useful for the obvious reason that the allocator is available, but the other side-effect of having the bootmem allocator available is that each page now has an associated "struct page".

Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an orderly poweroff. This pulls them together into a single implementation. By default the poweroff command is /sbin/poweroff, but it can be set via sysctl: kernel/poweroff_cmd. This is split at whitespace, so it can include command-line arguments. This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff" or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal management. sparc64 has its own "powerd"; still need to determine whether it should be replaced by orderly_poweroff().

Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for various pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the info allocation and initialization from the actual process execution. This means the general pattern becomes: info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp); /* basic state */ call_usermodehelper_<SET EXTRA STATE>(info, stuff...); /* extra state */ call_usermodehelper_exec(info, wait); /* run process and free info */ This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.

argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector. This is deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.

This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem. Any resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential. ;-) I do hope I got the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the issue unless you feel too good... Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines have now been swapped, i.e. ttyS0 <-> ttyS1 and ttyS2 <-> ttyS3. It has to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used). Please update your scripts. This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in "/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too). The old driver never got it right... Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

The old IDE driver is not ready to take generic SCSI commands, even if it uses them for some specific issues (ie the tray open/close ioctls for IDE CD-ROM's). Pointed out by Bartlomiej. I'm sure we'll have it fixed properly soon enough, but for now we should not allow it to cause problems.

1) Remove CONFIG_PCI ifdefs. PCI is required in Kconfig. 2) Break up setup_netjet_s() into three separate internal functions. This helps facilitate upcoming use of PCI hotplug API, and in addition makes the code much easier to follow. No code is changed, just moved around. I even kept the out-of-favor "return(0)" style used in the current source code. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
