Wanpeng Li	52a5c155cf	KVM: async_pf: Let guest support delivery of async_pf from guest mode ... Adds another flag bit (bit 2) to MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN. If bit 2 is 1, async page faults are delivered to L1 as #PF vmexits; if bit 2 is 0, kvm_can_do_async_pf returns 0 if in guest mode. This is similar to what svm.c wanted to do all along, but it is only enabled for Linux as L1 hypervisor. Foreign hypervisors must never receive async page faults as vmexits, because they'd probably be very confused about that.

Marcelo Tosatti	55dd00a73a	KVM: x86: add KVM_HC_CLOCK_PAIRING hypercall ... Add a hypercall to retrieve the host realtime clock and the TSC value used to calculate that clock read. Used to implement clock synchronization between host and guest. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>	2017-02-07 18:16:45 +01:00
Pan Xinhui	0b9f6c4615	x86/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check ... Support the vcpu_is_preempted() functionality under KVM. This will enhance lock performance on overcommitted hosts (more runnable vCPUs than physical CPUs in the system) as doing busy waits for preempted vCPUs will hurt system performance far worse than early yielding. Use struct kvm_steal_time::preempted to indicate that if a vCPU is running or not.
