      [MIPS] Export local_flush_data_cache_page for sake of IDE. · 9202f325
      Ralf Baechle authored
      On a CPU with aliases the IDE core needs to flush caches in the special
      IDE variants of insw, insl etc.  If IDE support is built as a module this
      will only work if local_flush_data_cache_page happens is exported as a
      module.
      
      As per policy export local_flush_data_cache_page as GPL symbol only.

      [CRYPTO] dm-crypt: Select CRYPTO_CBC · 3263263f

      As CBC is the default chaining method for cryptoloop, we should select
      it from cryptoloop to ease the transition.  Spotted by Rene Herman.

      MODULE_LICENSE which prevents superfluous kernel tainting.

      [PATCH] kvm: userspace interface · 6aa8b732
      Avi Kivity authored
      web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net
      
      mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
        (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)
      
      The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
      extensions to the x86 architecture.  The driver adds a character device
      (/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace.  Using
      this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
      virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
      display.
      
      Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
      
      Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
      that process.  kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected.  In effect, the
      driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
      mode, user mode, and guest mode.  Guest mode has its own address space mapping
      guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
      /dev/kvm).  Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
      intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
      
      The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests.  All combinations are
      allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host.  For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
      and non-pae paging modes are supported.
      
      SMP hosts and UP guests are supported.  At the moment only Intel
      hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
      
      Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
      mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
      every context switch.  We plan to address this in two ways:
      
      - cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
      - wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
      
      Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU.  Under
      Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
      CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization.  Linux/X is slower, probably due
      to X being in a separate process.
      
      In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
      device emulation and the BIOS.
      
      Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
      
      - The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
        virtual APIC.  We are working on a fix.  A temporary workaround is to
        use an existing image or install through qemu
      - Windows 64-bit does not work.  That's also true for qemu, so it's
        probably a problem with the device model.
