Subject: [ANNOUNCE] kvm-kmod-2.6.32-rc7
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
