Two updates to the stable kvm-kmod series have just been released. kvm-kmod-2.6.33.3 is the "normal" one as it reflects the most recent stable kernel. Here is the corresponding changelog: KVM changes since kvm-kmod-2.6.33.1: - Fix TSS size check for 16-bit tasks - Increase NR_IOBUS_DEVS limit to 200 - fix the handling of dirty bitmaps to avoid overflows - fix kvm_mmu_zap_page() and its calling path - VMX: Save/restore rflags.vm correctly in real mode - allow bit 10 to be cleared in MSR_IA32_MC4_CTL - Don't spam kernel log when injecting exceptions due to bad cr writes - SVM: Fix memory leaks that happen when svm_create_vcpu() fails - VMX: Update instruction length on intercepted BP - Add KVM_CAP_X86_ROBUST_SINGLESTEP kvm-kmod changes: - stop distributing generated kvm-kmod-config.h But I also cooked up a new 2.6.32-based kvm-kmod. This happened for two reasons. One is that we are maintaining a kvm-kmod-2.6.32 internally anyway, and the other is that there are currently a few fixes in 2.6.32 that do not exist in 2.6.33 (at least one is already confirmed to be ported to the latter soon as well). So here is the changelog for kvm-kmod-2.6.32.12: KVM changes since kvm-kmod-2.6.32.9: - Fix TSS size check for 16-bit tasks - Increase NR_IOBUS_DEVS limit to 200 - fix the handling of dirty bitmaps to avoid overflows - fix kvm_mmu_zap_page() and its calling path - VMX: Save/restore rflags.vm correctly in real mode - allow bit 10 to be cleared in MSR_IA32_MC4_CTL - Don't spam kernel log when injecting exceptions due to bad cr writes - SVM: Fix memory leaks that happen when svm_create_vcpu() fails - disable paravirt mmu reporting - VMX: Disable unrestricted guest when EPT disabled - SVM: Reset cr0 properly on vcpu reset - VMX: Use macros instead of hex value on cr0 initialization - VMX: Update instruction length on intercepted BP - Fix segment descriptor loading - x86 emulator: Fix popf emulation - x86 emulator: Check IOPL level during io instruction emulation - x86 emulator: fix memory access during x86 emulation - x86 emulator: Add Virtual-8086 mode of emulation - x86 emulator: Check CPL level during privilege instruction emulation - x86 emulator: Add group9 instruction decoding - x86 emulator: Forbid modifying CS segment register by mov instruction - x86 emulator: Add group8 instruction decoding kvm-kmod changes: - stop distributing generated kvm-kmod-config.h - Avoid bash patterns during install and sync-hdr - Do not wrap cpufreq_get for 2.6.32 The roadmap for future kvm-kmod packages currently looks like this: The 2.6.33 series will be replaced by a 2.6.34 one once the latter kernel is released. kvm-kmod-2.6.32 will be continued for some time, specifically as long as the effort is that low. Please drop me a note if that series is more than a nice-to-have for someone (as it might be run as a stable package along with an even older kernel)!
