Paolo,
Patch 3 requires a KVM_CAP_PPC number allocated. QEMU maintainers are
happy with it (link in changelog) just waiting on KVM upstreaming. Do
you have objections to the series going to ppc/kvm tree first, or
another option is you could take patch 3 alone first (it's relatively
independent of the other 2) and ppc/kvm gets it from you?
The first patch in this series fixes a KVM PR host crash due to a
guest executing the scv instruction or with a pseries SMP host, the
host CPUs executing the scv instruction while a PR guest is running.
The second patch fixes unimplemented H_SET_MODE AIL modes by returning
failure from the hcall rather than succeeding but not implementing
the required behaviour. This works around missing host scv support for
scv-capable Linux guests by causing them to disable the facility.
The third patch adds a new KVM CAP to go with some QEMU work to get
the AIL differences properly represented in QEMU. The third patch will
need to allocate a KVM CAP number and merged with upstream KVM tree
before the QEMU side goes ahead.
Changes since v2:
- Fix fscr compile error in patch 1.
- Add patch 3.
Changes since v3:
- Rebased, cc kvm@
Thanks,
Nick
