Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/6] x86/kvm/hyperv: stable clocksorce for L2 guests when running nested KVM on Hyper-V
Date: Fri,  1 Dec 2017 14:13:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171201131321.918-1-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)

Currently, KVM passes PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT to its guests when running in
so called 'masterclock' mode and this is only possible when the clocksource
on the host is TSC. When running nested on Hyper-V we're using a different
clocksource in L1 (Hyper-V TSC Page) which can actually be used for
masterclock. This series brings the required support.

Making KVM work with TSC page clocksource is relatively easy, it is done in
PATCH 5 of the series. All the rest is required to support L1 migration
when TSC frequency changes, we use a special feature from Hyper-V to do
the job.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (6):
  x86/hyper-v: check for required priviliges in hyperv_init()
  x86/hyper-v: add a function to read both TSC and TSC page value
    simulateneously
  x86/hyper-v: reenlightenment notifications support
  x86/hyper-v: redirect reenlightment notifications on CPU offlining
  x86/kvm: pass stable clocksource to guests when running nested on
    Hyper-V
  x86/kvm: support Hyper-V reenlightenment
