I've posted most of the patches here before, but I've built up a small backlog of patches to be pushed upstream. I've been running with them long enough to be happy with them, and I've just posted them all to http://penguinppc.org/~hollisb/kvm/patches/ There are two really minor patches I want to have acked by the PPC maintainers before I push the whole series to Avi, however. I've submitted those for review already, so hopefully that will be done by early next week. This patch series has two main components, refactoring and optimization: * It dramatically restructures some of the code flow and data structures to make supporting other processors possible. There are still a few rough corners though, like the TLB miss handling in booke.c kvmppc_handle_exit(). At this point I'd be OK with duplicating those handlers into core-specific files. * Based on Christian's analysis and patches, there is some performance optimization for Book E and 440 code. * Yu's idea about TLB handling was great, and I saw about a 20% performance improvement on a couple small workloads on 440. Very happy about that one. :) Anyways, just an update to let folks know where things sit on the kernel side. -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ppc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
