[GIT PULL] More power management updates for 2.6.39

Hi Linus, Please pull additional power management updates for 2.6.39 from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-2.6.git syscore They make subsystems that x86 depends on use struct syscore_ops objects instead of sysdevs for "core" power management, which reduces the code s

Re: "KVM internal error. Suberror: 1" with ancient 2.4 kernel as guest

Jiri & Avi: I attached the patched I did for movq and movdqa emulation. Please note: (1) I only implemented those two. Other instructions like addq may be following same way. (2) I use same guest_fx_image to hold value and fxsave/fxrstor to copy to/from registers. This is not very efficient I admi

KVM, iSCSI and High Availability

Hi. Over the last several days I've been reading, asking questions, searching the Internet to find a viable HA stack for Ubuntu with KVM virtualization and shared iSCSI storage. And I'm nearly as confused as when I started. Basically I'm trying to build a KVM enviroment with an iSCSI SAN and

[PATCH 13/13] KVM: SVM: Remove nested sel_cr0_write handling code

This patch removes all the old code which handled the nested selective cr0 write intercepts. This code was only in place as a work-around until the instruction emulator is capable of doing the same. This is the case with this patch-set and so the code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel -

[PATCH 0/6] TSC scaling support for KVM v3

Hi, this is the third round of my patches to support tsc-scaling in KVM. The changes to v2 address Avi's comments from yesterday. Besides that the whole virtual_tsc_khz thing has been moved out of the vm into the vcpu data structure. The mult and shift parts where renamed to tsc_catchup_* because

[PATCH 6/6] KVM: X86: Implement userspace interface to set virtual_tsc_khz

[PATCH 3/6] KVM: X86: Make tsc_delta calculation a function of guest tsc

The calculation of the tsc_delta value to ensure a forward-going tsc for the guest is a function of the host-tsc. This works as long as the guests tsc_khz is equal to the hosts tsc_khz. With tsc-scaling hardware support this is not longer true and the tsc_delta needs to be calculated using guest_ts
