From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> This patch fixes a bug with cpu bound guest on kvm-s390. Sometimes it was impossible to deliver a signal to a spinning guest. We used preemption as a circumvention. The preemption notifiers called vcpu_load, which checked for pending signals and triggered a host intercept. But even with preemption, a sigkill was not delivered immediately. This patch changes the low level host interrupt handler to check for the SIE instruction, if TIF_WORK is set. In that case we change the instruction pointer of the return PSW to rerun the vcpu_run loop. The kvm code sees an intercept reason 0 if that happens. This patch adds accounting for these types of intercept as well. The advantages: - works with and without preemption - signals are delivered immediately - much better host latencies without preemption Acked-by: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Say Y here to get to see options for using your Linux host to run other

operating systems inside virtual machines (guests).
|

This option alone does not add any kernel code.

If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.

Support hosting paravirtualized guest machines using the SIE
|
|
virtualization capability on the mainframe. This should work
|
|
on any 64bit machine.
|
|
|
|
This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
|
|
a character device node named /dev/kvm.
|
|
|
|
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called kvm.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
