  • e08cae418   x86: Clean up the hypervisor layer ... Browse Code »

    Clean up the hypervisor layer and the hypervisor drivers, using an ops
    structure instead of an enumeration with if statements.

    The identity of the hypervisor, if needed, can be tested by testing
    the pointer value in x86_hyper.

    The MS-HyperV private state is moved into a normal global variable
    (it's per-system state, not per-CPU state). Being a normal bss
    variable, it will be left at all zero on non-HyperV platforms, and so
    can generally be tested for HyperV-specific features without
    additional qualification.

  • a2a47c6c3   x86: Detect running on a Microsoft HyperV system ... Browse Code »

    This patch integrates HyperV detection within the framework currently
    used by VmWare. With this patch, we can avoid having to replicate the
    HyperV detection code in each of the Microsoft HyperV drivers.

    Reworked and tweaked by Greg K-H to build properly.
