Patches for v3.9 for the Linux kernel.

Patches for v3.9 for the Linux kernel.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

The v3.8 is going to be released soon. The patches that I have in
my tree that I was thinking to push for v3.9 are:

If I am missing anything pls tell me.


Alexander Duyck (1):
      x86/xen: Use __pa_symbol instead of __pa on C visible symbols

Dan Carpenter (1):
      xen/privcmd: fix condition in privcmd_close()

Ian Campbell (2):
      xen: x86 pvh: use XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range for foreign gmfn mappings
      xen: implement updated XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range ABI

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (5):
      xen/smp: Move the common CPU init code a bit to prep for PVH patch.
      Merge branch 'stable/pvh.v7' into stable/for-linus-3.9
      Revert "xen/pvh linux: Use ballooning to allocate grant table pages"
      Merge branch 'stable/pvh.v7' into stable/for-linus-3.9
      Merge branch 'stable/for-linus-3.9' into HEAD

Liu Jinsong (6):
      xen/stub: driver for memory hotplug
      xen/acpi: ACPI memory hotplug
      xen/stub: driver for CPU hotplug
      xen/acpi: Move xen_acpi_get_pxm to Xen's acpi.h
      xen/acpi: ACPI cpu hotplug
      xen/acpi: move xen_acpi_get_pxm under CONFIG_XEN_DOM0

Mukesh Rathor (9):
      xen/pvh: Support ParaVirtualized Hardware extensions.
      xen/pvh: Extend vcpu_guest_context, p2m, event, and XenBus.
      xen/pvh: Implement MMU changes for PVH.
      xen/pvh: bootup and setup (E820) related changes.
      xen/pvh: balloon and grant changes.
      xen/pvh: specify xen features strings cleanly for PVH
      xen/pvh: remove code to map iomem from guest
      xen/pvh linux: Use ballooning to allocate grant table pages
      xen/pvh: Use ballooning to allocate grant table pages [v2]

Wei Yongjun (1):
      xen/x86: remove duplicated include from enlighten.c


I know that the PVH patches are not in the Xen tree. I am hoping that
at least the hypercalls _are_ OK with everybody so we can continue on
with this.

There are some patches in the for-jens-3.8 tree that will be
part of the v3.9:

Jan Beulich (1):
      xen-blkback: do not leak mode property

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (3):
      xen/blkback: Don't trust the handle from the frontend.
      xen-blkfront: drop the use of llist_for_each_entry_safe
      Merge branch 'stable/for-jens-3.8' into HEAD

Roger Pau Monne (1):
      xen-blkback: use balloon pages for persistent grants

Please don't commit to anything that isn't in the hypervisor tree
yet. IOW I'd like you to not push the PVH bits that use
uncommitted hypervisor interfaces (anything preparatory of
course is okay).

Hm, I believe the only one that was of contention was the 'PHYSDEVOP_map_iomem'
which Mukesh reverted.

The other one is the XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range, which Ian has for ARM.
That is the git commit b6eafa71fa87f4c831e9c2eac736e8ac20b3ea1c
in stable/pvh.v7 tree.

Oh, there is one change in this git commit b8724d6bd1c09e34b6c76b57d07ea4d3fbd8ed4c
..and that gets reverted in 68c5bb99d8b8abbf70b3380bed8eca69648193f5 (by Ian).

So from a hypercall perspective - Ian, is the XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range fully
baked ?
