The patch must follow Documentation/process/coding-style.rst and - Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst. - -2. Patches should be against kvm.git master branch. - -3. If the patch introduces or modifies a new userspace API: - - the API must be documented in Documentation/virt/kvm/api.txt - - the API must be discoverable using KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION - -4. New state must include support for save/restore. - -5. New features must default to off (userspace should explicitly request them). - Performance improvements can and should default to on. - -6. New cpu features should be exposed via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID2 - -7. Emulator changes should be accompanied by unit tests for qemu-kvm.git - kvm/test directory. - -8. Changes should be vendor neutral when possible. Changes to common code - are better than duplicating changes to vendor code. - -9. Similarly, prefer changes to arch independent code than to arch dependent - code. - -10. User/kernel interfaces and guest/host interfaces must be 64-bit clean - (all variables and sizes naturally aligned on 64-bit; use specific types - only - u64 rather than ulong). - -11. New guest visible features must either be documented in a hardware manual - or be accompanied by documentation. - -12. Features must be robust against reset and kexec - for example, shared - host/guest memory must be unshared to prevent the host from writing to - guest memory that the guest has not reserved for this purpose. |
