Subject[PATCH v2 0/4] x86/kvm/hyper-v: Implement Direct Mode for synthetic timers
Date
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()
