Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future. ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page tracking s390: several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :) MIPS: Bugfixes. x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation fixes. There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually. Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you have already included his tree. ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches. These are not large though, and entirely within KVM. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJU28rkAAoJEL/70l94x66DXqQH/1TDOfJIjW7P2kb0Sw7Fy1wi cEX1KO/VFxAqc8R0E/0Wb55CXyPjQJM6xBXuFr5cUDaIjQ8ULSktL4pEwXyyv/s5 DBDkN65mriry2w5VuEaRLVcuX9Wy+tqLQXWNkEySfyb4uhZChWWHvKEcgw5SqCyg NlpeHurYESIoNyov3jWqvBjr4OmaQENyv7t2c6q5ErIgG02V+iCux5QGbphM2IC9 LFtPKxoqhfeB2xFxTOIt8HJiXrZNwflsTejIlCl/NSEiDVLLxxHCxK2tWK/tUXMn JfLD9ytXBWtNMwInvtFm4fPmDouv2VDyR0xnK2db+/axsJZnbxqjGu1um4Dqbak= =7gdx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini: "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware
|
|
virtualization extensions. You will need a fairly recent
|
|
processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also
|
|
need to select one or more of the processor modules below.
|
|
|
|
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.

Provide support for legacy PCI device assignment through KVM. The

kernel now also supports a full featured userspace device driver
|
|
framework through VFIO, which supersedes much of this support.
|
|
|
