[PATCH 09/40] KVM: VMX: Fold ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() into its caller
ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() accesses vcpu->arch.cr4 directly, which usually needs to be accessed via kvm_read_cr4(). In this case, we can't, since cr4 is in the process of being updated. Instead of adding inane comments, fold the function into its caller (vmx_set_cr4), so it can use the not-yet-committed cr4 dir... 10 Feb 2010 13:24

[PATCH 15/40] KVM: SVM: Adjust tsc_offset only if tsc_unstable
From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel(a)amd.com> The tsc_offset adjustment in svm_vcpu_load is executed unconditionally even if Linux considers the host tsc as stable. This causes a Linux guest detecting an unstable tsc in any case. This patch removes the tsc_offset adjustment if the host tsc is stable. The guest will... 10 Feb 2010 13:24

[PATCH 11/40] KVM: Extended shared_msr_global to per CPU
From: Sheng Yang <sheng(a)linux.intel.com> shared_msr_global saved host value of relevant MSRs, but it have an assumption that all MSRs it tracked shared the value across the different CPUs. It's not true with some MSRs, e.g. MSR_TSC_AUX. Extend it to per CPU to provide the support of MSR_TSC_AUX, and more alike... 10 Feb 2010 13:24

[PATCH 21/40] KVM: powerpc: Move vector to irqprio resolving to separate function
From: Alexander Graf <agraf(a)suse.de> We're using a switch table to find the irqprio that belongs to a specific interrupt vector. This table is part of the interrupt inject logic. Since we'll add a new function to stop interrupts, let's move this table out of the injection logic into a separate function. Sign... 10 Feb 2010 13:24
