2007-10-29[libata] Link power management infrastructureKristen Carlson Accardi
Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it. This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link power management policy to "min_power". Additionally, libata drivers can define a function (enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to enable whatever power management policy the user set up for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM). This power management policy will be activated after all disks have been enumerated and intialized. Drivers should also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power management, but not change link power management policy. Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional information. Signed-off-by: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen.c.accardi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2007-10-23x86: Force enable HPET for CK804 (nForce 4) chipsetsCarlos Corbacho
This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset. This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4 (LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3, but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.

2007-10-23Revert lguest magic and use hook in head.SRusty Russell
Version 2.07 of the boot protocol uses 0x23C for the hardware_subarch field, that for lguest is "1". This allows us to use the standard boot entry point rather than the "GenuineLguest" string hack. The standard entry point also clears the BSS and copies the boot parameters and commandline for us, saving more code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2007-10-23Example launcher handle guests not being ready for inputRusty Russell
We currently discard console and network input when the guest has no input buffers. This patch changes that, so that we simply stop listening to that fd until the guest refills its input buffers. This is particularly important because hvc_console without interrupts does backoff polling and so often lose characters if we discard. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Update example launcher for virtioRusty Russell
Implements virtio-based console, network and block servers. The block server uses a thread so it's async, which is an improvement over the old synchronous implementation (but a little more complex). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.Rusty Russell
1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages. 2) It means we don't have to know page_offset. 3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code. 4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset. 5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular). 6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial hypercall give us that, too. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Change example launcher to use unsigned long not u32Jes Sorensen
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!

2007-10-23Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcherRusty Russell
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>

2007-10-23Make asm-x86/bootparam.h includable from userspace.Rusty Russell
To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher) currently requires duplication of these structures. Making them includable from userspace is much nicer.

Add 'fsl,' prefix to 'compatible' property for gpt nodes. Add 'fsl,' prefix to empty, GPT0 specific 'has-wdt' property.
