[PATCH v4 0/7] x86/kvm/hyperv: stable clocksource for L2 guests when running nested KVM on Hyper-V

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

 



Changes since v3:
- PATCH3:
  - drop 'include <linux/interrupt.h>' (and __visible/_irq_entry from
    hyperv_reenlightenment_intr declaration -- but not from implementation)
    from mshyperv.h [kbuild robot] I'm retaining Thomas' Reviewed-by tag as
    the change is small, hope that's OK.
- PATCH7:
  - add static to kvm_hyperv_tsc_notifier() [kbuild robot]. I'm also
    keeping Paolo's Acked-by as the change is trivial.

So currently only PATCH2 of the series doesn't have a Reviewed-by/
Acked-by tag.

Original description:

Currently, KVM passes PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT to its guests when running in
so called 'masterclock' mode and this is only possible when the clocksource
on the host is TSC. When running nested on Hyper-V we're using a different
clocksource in L1 (Hyper-V TSC Page) which can actually be used for
masterclock. This series brings the required support.

Making KVM work with TSC page clocksource is relatively easy, it is done in
PATCH 6 of the series. All the rest is required to support L1 migration
when TSC frequency changes, we use a special feature from Hyper-V to do
the job.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (7):
  x86/hyper-v: check for required priviliges in hyperv_init()
  x86/hyper-v: add a function to read both TSC and TSC page value
    simulateneously
  x86/hyper-v: reenlightenment notifications support
  x86/hyper-v: redirect reenlightment notifications on CPU offlining
  x86/irq: Count Hyper-V reenlightenment interrupts
  x86/kvm: pass stable clocksource to guests when running nested on
    Hyper-V
  x86/kvm: support Hyper-V reenlightenment
