[kvm-devel] [PATCH 0/5] KVM fixes for 2.6.20

2007-01-23 Thread Avi Kivity
The following series of patches fixes several kvm problems. I believe they are important and well-tested enough to be included in 2.6.20, especially the host reboot fix on AMD machines. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function

[kvm-devel] [PATCH 1/5] KVM: SVM: Fix SVM idt confusion

2007-01-23 Thread Avi Kivity
From: Leonard Norrgard [EMAIL PROTECTED] There's an obvious typo in svm_{get,set}_idt, causing it to access the ldt instead. Because these functions are only called for save/load on AMD, the bug does not impact normal operation. With the fix, save/load works as expected on AMD hosts.

[kvm-devel] [PATCH 3/5] KVM: MMU: Perform access checks in walk_addr()

2007-01-23 Thread Avi Kivity
Check pte permission bits in walk_addr(), instead of scattering the checks all over the code. This has the following benefits: 1. We no longer set the accessed bit for accessed which fail permission checks. 2. Setting the accessed bit is simplified. 3. Under some circumstances, we used to

[kvm-devel] [PATCH 4/5] KVM: MMU: Report nx faults to the guest

2007-01-23 Thread Avi Kivity
Rith the recent guest page fault change, we perform access checks on our own instead of relying on the cpu. This means we have to perform the nx checks as well. Software like the google toolbar on windows appears to rely on this somehow. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity [EMAIL PROTECTED] Index:

Perhaps the most visible change is that -no-acpi is no longer required to install Windows (it is still recommended as the Windows ACPI HAL will eat a lot of cpu time). Changes from kvm-11: - More migration work (Uri Lublin) - savevm/loadvm (and migration) work on AMD (Leonard Norrgard) - More
