[RFC PATCH 0/10] Support POWER8 in HV KVM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series adds support for the POWER8 CPU in HV KVM.  POWER8 adds
several new guest-accessible instructions, special-purpose registers,
and other features such as doorbell interrupts and hardware
transactional memory.  It also adds new hypervisor-controlled features
such as relocation-on interrupts, and replaces the DABR/DABRX
registers with the new DAWR/DAWRX registers with expanded
capabilities.  The POWER8 CPU has compatibility modes for architecture
2.06 (POWER7/POWER7+) and 2.05 (POWER6).

This series does not yet handle the checkpointed register state of
the guest.
