This p2m tree is used for construction of page table entries, so the p2m tree walk is performance critical. By using a linear virtual mapped p2m list accesses to p2m elements can be sped up while even simplifying code. To achieve this goal some p2m related initializations have to be performed later in the boot process, as the final p2m list can be set up only after basic memory management functions are available. Changes in V3: - Carved out (new) patch 1 to make pure code movement more obvious as requested by David Vrabel - New patch 6 introducing __pfn_to_mfn() (taken from patch 7) as requested by David Vrabel - New patch 8 to speed up set_phys_to_machine() as suggested by David Vrabel Changes in V2: - splitted patch 2 in 4 smaller ones as requested by David Vrabel - added highmem check when remapping kernel memory as requested by David Vrabel Juergen Gross (8): xen: Make functions static xen: Delay remapping memory of pv-domain xen: Delay m2p_override initialization xen: Delay invalidating extra memory x86: Introduce function to get pmd entry pointer xen: Hide get_phys_to_machine() to be able to tune common path xen: switch to linear virtual mapped sparse p2m list xen: Speed up set_phys_to_machine() by using read-only mappings arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h | 1 + arch/x86/include/asm/xen/page.h | 49 +- arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c | 20 + arch/x86/xen/mmu.c | 38 +- arch/x86/xen/p2m.c | 1315 ++++++++++++++-------------------- arch/x86/xen/setup.c | 460 ++++++------ arch/x86/xen/xen-ops.h | 6 +- 7 files changed, 854 insertions(+), 1035 deletions(-) -- 2.1.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
