2008-01-30KVM: Put kvm_para.h include outside __KERNEL__Glauber de Oliveira Costa
kvm_para.h potentially contains definitions that are to be used by userspace, so it should not be included inside the __KERNEL__ block. To protect its own data structures, kvm_para.h already includes its own __KERNEL__ block.

2008-01-30KVM: Accelerated apic supportAvi Kivity
This adds a mechanism for exposing the virtual apic tpr to the guest, and a protocol for letting the guest update the tpr without causing a vmexit if conditions allow (e.g. there is no interrupt pending with a higher priority than the new tpr). Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-01-30KVM: Per-architecture hypercall definitionsChristian Borntraeger
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.

2008-01-30KVM: Refactor hypercall infrastructure (v3)Anthony Liguori
This patch refactors the current hypercall infrastructure to better support live migration and SMP. It eliminates the hypercall page by trapping the UD exception that would occur if you used the wrong hypercall instruction for the underlying architecture and replacing it with the right one lazily. A fall-out of this patch is that the unhandled hypercalls no longer trap to userspace. There is very little reason though to use a hypercall to communicate with userspace as PIO or MMIO can be used. There is no code in tree that uses userspace hypercalls. [avi: fix #ud injection on vmx] Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2007-03-04KVM: add MSR based hypercall APIIngo Molnar
This adds a special MSR based hypercall API to KVM. This is to be used by paravirtual kernels and virtual drivers. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
