[ANNOUNCE] kvm-36 release

[ANNOUNCE] kvm-36 release

[Avi Kivity]

The lapic branch is still stalled on smp, but Windows x64 and large 
memory support are each a good reason for a release, so here's kvm-36.

Changes from kvm-35:
- support guests with more than 2GB of RAM on 64-bit hosts (Izik Eidus)
- fix rare host oops on guest context switch
- avoid smp_call_function_single() warning on suspend/resume
- more real mode emulator work (Nitin A Kamble)
- Windows x64 support (Sheng Yang)
- close minor signal handling race
- carry bios in kvm source tree for easier maintenance
- fix -std-vga (Uri Lublin)
- advertise kvm in vnc window title (Matthew Kent)
- fix Windows SMP guests consuming cpu time when idle (Igor Lvovsky)

Notes:
    If you use the modules bundled with kvm-36, you can use any version 
of Linux from 2.6.9 upwards.
    If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use 
kvm-12.
    If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use 
kvm-17.
    Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from
kvm-22.  Some features may only be available in newer releases.
    For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host.

I noticed the idle cpu usage for kvm-36 running windows xp 32 bit as
guest is much higher.
For kvm-35 this was around 2-4%, running kvm-36 it's 22% - 26%.

I didn't notice this till you mentioned it. I'm also running windows xp 32
bit and seeing much higher cpu usage on kvm-36 as opposed to very low on
kvm-35.

Hey,

I justw anted to note, that I can't confirm this behavior fpr Windows

avi, try this patch,
the problem was that page_max is set to -1 inside the code,
and when the code changed page0 and page1 to unsigned long, it never
entered to there.

the patch that i give now, is one way to fix it (ofcourse there is
another way to play with casting.)

by entered to there i mean:

if (page1 > page_max)
                page_max = page1;

Hmm.  Is this using the ACPI HAL, or the Standard PC HAL, or what?

The fix was targeted at ACPI MP HALs (reducing cpu usage from 100% to 
something sane).

Looks like a vga regression introduced by support for large memory.  
Does the attached patch fix?

Yup, the patched fixed it. Cpu usage is now around 4%.

Thanks, applied.  It isn't particularly pretty but I don't want to 
change qemu code too much.

[ANNOUNCE] kvm-36 release

[Avi Kivity]

Fix a couple of lapic hiccups in kvm-38.

Changes since kvm-38:
- provide div64_64() for older kernels
- improve emulation failure reporting
- more x86 emulator work (push imm8, pushf, call near) (Nitin A Kamble)
- don't use TPR shadow on i386 (Sheng Yang)

Notes:
   If you use the modules bundled with kvm-39, you can use any version
of Linux from 2.6.9 upwards.
   If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use
kvm-12.
   If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use
kvm-17.
   Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from
kvm-22.  Some features may only be available in newer releases.
   For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host.

That's kvm-39 of course.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.

Hi,

Some updates since kvm-37

Compilation worked fine for me on an intel Core2 64bits machine
running ubuntu feisty with kernel 2.6.20 x86_64.

Loading modules went ok.

Also, when it boots correctly with "-smp 2" it shows 2 processors in
/proc/cpuinfo, but I have messages as follows at bootup:
" ACPI : Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device
not present [20060707]"
(not sure if this is related but I don't remember having seen them before)

The compilation errors also showed up on my boxes. The attached patch 
fixes the errors by renaming variables.

How does -no-kvm-irqchip affect this?

This is due to some ACPI work that exposes 16 processors so that Windows
SMP does not grumble at us.  We should make the ACPI objects conditional
on the processors actually existing.  Igor?

I committed an equivalent fix, but one that only affects the external
module, since the issue is not present with current kernels.
