[PATCH RFC V2 3/5] kvm hypervisor : Add two hypercalls to support pv-ticketlock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add two hypercalls to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks.
    
KVM_HC_WAIT_FOR_KICK blocks the calling vcpu until another vcpu kicks it or it
is woken up because of an event like interrupt.
   
KVM_HC_KICK_CPU allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu.
    
The presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
KVM_FEATURE_WAIT_FOR_KICK/KVM_CAP_WAIT_FOR_KICK.

Qemu needs a corresponding patch to pass up the presence of this feature to 
guest via cpuid. Patch to qemu will be sent separately.

There is no Xen/KVM hypercall interface to await kick from.
