Hi Guys, I was wondering if SuSE Linux 10.1 and 10.2 can boot on top of KVM? Xen is getting into real mode emulation issues with these distributions for Fully virtualized Guests. Thanks & Regards, Nitin Open Source Technology Center, Intel Corporation.

[kvm-devel] [ANNOUNCE] kvm-12 release

2007-01-23 Thread Avi Kivity
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 g

[kvm-devel] [PATCH 5/5] KVM: SVM: Propagate cpu shutdown events to userspace

2007-01-23 Thread Avi Kivity
From: Joerg Roedel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This patch implements forwarding of SHUTDOWN intercepts from the guest on to userspace on AMD SVM. A SHUTDOWN event occurs when the guest produces a triple fault (e.g. on reboot). This also fixes the bug that a guest reboot actually causes a host reboot under

[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: linu

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 pretend

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. Signed-o
