Linus, this pull request is a combination of two pull requests for 4.7-rc8 that were not merged due to looking hairy. I have changed the tag message to focus on circumstances of contained reverts as they were likely the reason behind rejection. First batch of 4.8-rc1 patches from kvm/next is coming later this week. The following changes since commit a99cde438de0c4c0cecc1d1af1a55a75b10bfdef: Linux 4.7-rc6 (2016-07-03 23:01:00 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git tags/for-linus for you to fetch changes up to 4c47eb1c18c38b755eb4894a6ca38f834de3ec23: arm64: KVM: VHE: Context switch MDSCR_EL1 (2016-07-23 18:07:12 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This merge introduces three patches that are later reverted, - Switching of MSR_TSC_AUX in SVM was thought to cause a host misbehavior, but it was later cleared of those doubts and the patch moved code to a hot path, so we reverted it. That patch also needed a fix for 32 bit builds and both were reverted in one go. - Al Viro noticed that a fix for a leak in an error path was not valid with the given API and provided a better fix, so the original patch was reverted. Then there are two VMX fixes that move code around because VMCS was not accessed between vcpu_load() and vcpu_put(), a simple ARM VHE fix, and two one-liners for PML and MTRR. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Al Viro (1): KVM: don't use anon_inode_getfd() before possible failures Alexis Dambricourt (1): KVM: MTRR: fix kvm_mtrr_check_gfn_range_consistency page fault Cao, Lei (1): KVM: VMX: handle PML full VMEXIT that occurs during event delivery Jim Mattson (1): KVM: nVMX: Fix memory corruption when using VMCS shadowing Liu Shuo (1): KVM: release anon file in failure path of vm creation Marc Zyngier (1): arm64: KVM: VHE: Context switch MDSCR_EL1 Paolo Bonzini (3): KVM: SVM: fix trashing of MSR_TSC_AUX Revert "KVM: release anon file in failure path of vm creation" KVM: SVM: do not set MSR_TSC_AUX on 32-bit builds Peter Feiner (1): kvm: vmx: ensure VMCS is current while enabling PML Radim Krčmář (1): Revert "KVM: SVM: fix trashing of MSR_TSC_AUX" arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/sysreg-sr.c | 8 ++--- arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c | 1 + arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c | 76 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 15 +++++++-- 4 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
