RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Re: [Fedora-ia64-list] Re: Four ways RH could helpwith xen-ia64

[Xu, Anthony]

Hi Akio,

Is this merge based on linux-2.6.18-rc2?
When I diff linux-2.6-xen-fedora with linux-2.6.18-rc2,
There are some modifications which are not marked by #ifdef CONFIG_XEN

Thanks,
Anthony

Hi, Anthony, Juan and Aron

Hmm.. I don't know.
I have thought that merge base is linux-2.6.18-rc2,
because of reading the following mail.
Juan and Aron, am I wrong?
If necessary, I'll update my patches.

My patches work good on RHEL4 as native linux.
Now I'm updating my fedora system by yum.
After update, I'll try my patches on FC6.

Hi

	There are several changes not marked as CONFIG_XEN:

* tsc timer -> fixed since them with other solution
* TPM -> don't ask me, tpm code is evil.  And to make things more
interesting xen code & linux upstream code has diverged so much that it
is not funny.
* things marked CONFIG_X86_NO_TSS & CONFIG_X86_NO_IDT (already on
unstable tree)
* anything that touchs a Task segment is disabled by default (already on
unstable tree)
* HAVE_SHARED_KERNEL_PMD changes, already on unstable tree
* some patches to oprofile to make xenoprof work.
* __FIXADDR_TOP already on xen unstable, and more things with vDSO
integration.

I haven't really examined neither i64 or powerpec bits.

If you have any concern about any particular piece of code, please, let
me know.

Later, Juan.

Let's not push this into linux-2.6-xen-fedora.

We've been working with a patch in BZ 199684 which includes many of 
these changes.  That patch, hopefully, will be submitted today at some 
point.

Status is even after applying the patch the Xen kernels do not boot.  
The non-Xen kernels do boot.
