Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:50:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AFE8B7F.8000706@siemens.com> (raw)
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
