2008-07-06	x86: KVM guest: Add memory clobber to hypercalls	Anthony Liguori	1	-5/+10
	Hypercalls can modify arbitrary regions of memory. Make sure to indicate this in the clobber list. This fixes a hang when using KVM_GUEST kernel built with GCC 4.3.0. This was originally spotted and analyzed by Marcelo. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-06-24	KVM: Remove now unused structs from kvm_para.h	Gerd Hoffmann	1	-18/+0
	The kvm_* structs are obsoleted by the pvclock_* ones. Now all users have been switched over and the old structs can be dropped. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-04-27	KVM: MMU: hypercall based pte updates and TLB flushes	Marcelo Tosatti	1	-0/+29
	Hypercall based pte updates are faster than faults, and also allow use of the lazy MMU mode to batch operations. Don't report the feature if two dimensional paging is enabled. [avi: - one mmu_op hypercall instead of one per op - allow 64-bit gpa on hypercall - don't pass host errors (-ENOMEM) to guest] [akpm: warning fix on i386] Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-04-27	KVM: add basic paravirt support	Marcelo Tosatti	1	-1/+2
	Add basic KVM paravirt support. Avoid vm-exits on IO delays. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-04-27	KVM: paravirtualized clocksource: host part	Glauber de Oliveira Costa	1	-0/+25
	This is the host part of kvm clocksource implementation. As it does not include clockevents, it is a fairly simple implementation. We only have to register a per-vcpu area, and start writing to it periodically. The area is binary compatible with xen, as we use the same shadow_info structure.

2008-01-30	KVM: Per-architecture hypercall definitions	Christian Borntraeger	1	-0/+105
	Currently kvm provides hypercalls only for x86* architectures. To provide hypercall infrastructure for other kvm architectures I split kvm_para.h into a generic header file and architecture specific definitions.
