[WATCHDOG] Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-simple.c: improve this code
[WATCHDOG] AR7: watchdog timer
[WATCHDOG] Linux kernel IPC SBC Watchdog Timer driver -
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.Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

Now that the "struct boot_params" is userspace accessible, we don't need

Now arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S understands the hardware_platform field,
we can directly execute bzImages. No more horrific unpacking code.Signed-off-by: Rusty 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

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
-
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

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

Apply Clue 2x4 to lguest userlandkernel 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!

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

lguest_launcher.h uses "u32" not "__u32", which sets a bad example. Fix that,

To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher)
currently requires duplication of these structures. Making them
includable from userspace is much nicer.We merge the common userspace-required definitions of e820_32/64.h
into e820.h for export.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
