| |
Changes since v1: - avoid open-coding stimer_mark_pending() in kvm_hv_notify_acked_sint() and kvm_hv_synic_send_eoi [Paolo Bonzini]
Turns out Hyper-V on KVM (as of 2016) will only use synthetic timers if direct mode is available. With direct mode we notify the guest by asserting APIC irq instead of sending a SynIC message.
Qemu and kvm-unit-test patches for testing this series can be found in v1 submission: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/13/972
Vitaly Kuznetsov (4): x86/hyper-v: move synic/stimer control structures definitions to hyperv-tlfs.h x86/kvm/hyper-v: use stimer config definition from hyperv-tlfs.h x86/kvm/hyper-v: direct mode for synthetic timers x86/kvm/hyper-v: avoid open-coding stimer_mark_pending() in kvm_hv_notify_acked_sint()
