v1: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg145145.html Discussions around v1 were mostly concerned with various requirements for guest kicks and synchronization. Here is the mostly undisputed core. I think these patches are worthwhile even alone. v2: * removed the memory barrier optimization (Paolo) * added a MIPS cleanup, [4/5] Radim Krčmář (5): KVM: rename API for requests to match bit operations KVM: add KVM request variants without barrier KVM: add kvm_request_pending KVM: MIPS: remove useless kvm_request_clear KVM: optimize kvm_make_all_cpus_request arch/mips/kvm/emulate.c | 3 +- arch/mips/kvm/trap_emul.c | 4 +- arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c | 4 +- arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr_papr.c | 2 +- arch/powerpc/kvm/booke.c | 22 +++--- arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c | 8 +-- arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c | 26 +++---- arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.h | 4 +- arch/s390/kvm/priv.c | 4 +- arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c | 14 ++-- arch/x86/kvm/i8259.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c | 22 +++--- arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c | 14 ++-- arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c | 6 +- arch/x86/kvm/svm.c | 12 ++-- arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c | 32 ++++----- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 144 +++++++++++++++++++------------------- include/linux/kvm_host.h | 64 ++++++++++++++--- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 8 ++- 19 files changed, 220 insertions(+), 175 deletions(-) -- 2.11.1
