Now that the KVM queue of pending patches for upcoming 2.6.32 is empty, it's time to release the first kvm-kmod based on this new kernel: This package contains the kvm external modules, using the sources from Linux 2.6.32-rc7. It can be used to update the kernel-side support of kvm without upgrading the host kernel. Download is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-kmod/2.6.32-rc7/kvm-kmod-2.6.32-rc7.tar.bz2/download Note that testing this "very close to stable" release also helps testing KVM support in 2.6.32. KVM changes since kvm-kmod-2.6.31.6: - irqfd: Guest interrupt injection via eventfd - ioeventfd: Trigger eventfd signel on guest PIO/MMIO access - Allow speaker emulation also with in-kernel PIT - VMX: Unrestricted Guest feature support (true hw-assisted real-mode) - x86 emulator: Add adc and sbb missing decoder flags - SVM: Fixes/improvements of nested virtualization - Implement MSRs used by Hyper-V - Ignore reads to perfctr msrs (fixes Kaspersky antivirus on Windows) - Introduce module parameter for ignoring unknown MSRs accesses - Switch tracing to ftrace infrastructure - Syscall/enter/exit emulation for cross-vendor migration - Add Directed EOI support to APIC emulation - Add x2APIC emulation - PIT support for HPET legacy mode - Fix performance of assigned devices with MSI/MSI-X - MMU: shadow support for 1gb pages - Several performance optimizations of the vmexit fastpath - Locking fixes for in-kernel IRQ/timer emulation - Countless small fixes kvm-kmod changes: - Fix depmod step in 'make install' - README file added Enjoy, Jan -- 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
