[kvm-devel] [ANNOUNCE] kvm-62 release
Add cpus on the fly to your virtual machines with the new cpu hotplug feature. Changes from kvm-62: - portability: make room for the ia64 register stack (Xiantao Zhang) - fix leak when setting the pv clock to an invalid address (Marcelo Tosatti) - detect vcpu triple faults (Joerg Roedel) - fix race when instantiating a shadow pte - fix host crash on guest kexec - code cleanups (Harvey Harrison) - better tsc handling on Intel hosts with stable tscs - cpu hotplug (Glauber Costa) - merge qemu-cvs - new curses display option - change -hugetlb-path to -mem-path (Anthony Liguori) - increase pci support from 6 slots to 32 slots - document ./configure --disable-cpu-emulation (Jerone Young) - fix powerpc cpu initialization (Jerone Young) - simplify host_cpuid() assembly code Notes: If you use the modules bundled with kvm-63, you can use any version of Linux from 2.6.17 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. http://kvm.qumranet.com - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[kvm-devel] [ANNOUNCE] kvm-62 release
Fixes the longstanding RHEL 5 i386 smp boot problem as well as the recent Intel Core regression. Large page support improves performance for dedicated virtualization hosts, while vmware vga and more std-vga resolutions should improve the home user experience. Changes from kvm-61: - fix oops running external module on 2.6.25 due to mmdrop (Andrea Arcangeli) - backward compatibility for 2.6.25 desc_struct changes - fix memory alias mixup (Uri Lublin) - add file:// migration protocol (Uri Lublin) - fix reading from character devices with flow control (Jan Kiszka) - large host page support (Marcelo Tosatti) - fix screen corruption with high resolutions (Andreas Winkelbauer) - implement vmware vga for kvm (Soren Hansen, Anthony Liguori) - even more resolutions for -std-vga (Andreas Winkelbauer) - code cleanups (Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon, Harvey Harrison) - allow up to 16 vcpus (Anthony Liguori, me) - allow up to 16 memory slots - improve vcpu_run error reporting - fix host crash on hosts without EFER (Intel Core not 2s) - drop kvm private segment descriptor in favor of Linux' desc_struct - stat counter for hypercalls (Amit Shah) - fake values for MSR_PERF_STATUS (Alexander Graf) - needed for Darwin/OS X - better root pagetable unpinning (Marcelo Tosatti) - paravirt clock fixes (Glauber Costa, Marcelo Tosatti) - avoid host hang when guest sets APIC timer to zero - also fixes live migration of Windows 2000 guests - fix RHEL 5 i386 smp boot due to timer interrupts being routed to all vcpus Notes: If you use the modules bundled with kvm-62, you can use any version of Linux from 2.6.17 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.
