[PATCH 0/2] HyperV equivalent of pvpanic driver

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

 



Windows 2012 guests can notify hypervisor about occurred guest crash
(Windows bugcheck(BSOD)) by writing specific Hyper-V msrs. This patch does
handling of this MSR's by KVM and sending notification to user space that
allows to gather Windows guest crash dump by QEMU/LIBVIRT.

The idea is to provide functionality equal to pvpanic device without
QEMU guest agent for Windows.

The idea is borrowed from Linux HyperV bus driver and validated against
Windows 2k12.
