This patch series aims to get kdump working inside a KVM guest. The current problem with using kdump is that KVM always delivers PIT interrupts to the BSP, and the BSP only. While this is technically allowed by the MPS spec, most motherboards actually deliver timer interrupts to *any* LAPIC in virtual wire mode. Since a crash can occur on any CPU, timer interrupts must be able to reach any CPU in order for kdump to work properly. Therefore, this patch series kicks all of the relevant vCPUs when delivering a timer interrupt. With these patches in place, kdump in a RHEL-5 guest works properly. -- 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
