Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] Enlightened VMCS support for KVM on Hyper-V
Date:   Fri,  9 Mar 2018 15:02:42 +0100
Message-Id: <20180309140249.2840-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Changes since v2:
- Move hyperv.h out of uapi [Radim Krčmář], PATCHes 1 and 2 added.
- define KVM_EVMCS_VERSION, HV_X64_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS_VERSION [Radim Krčmář]
- WARN_ONCE in get_evmcs_offset[,_cf] [Radim Krčmář]
- add evmcs_sanitize_exec_ctrls() and use it in hardware_setup() and
  dump_vmcs() [Radim Krčmář]

When running nested KVM on Hyper-V it's possible to use so called
'Enlightened VMCS' and do normal memory reads/writes instead of
doing VMWRITE/VMREAD instructions. In addition, clean field mask
provides a huge room for optimization on L0's side.

Tight CPUID loop test shows significant speedup (E5-2667 v4 @ 3.20GHz):
  Before: 18890 cycles
  After: 8304 cycles

Ladi Prosek (1):
  x86/kvm: rename HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE to
    HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE

Vitaly Kuznetsov (6):
  x86/hyper-v: move hyperv.h out of uapi
  x86/hyper-v: move definitions from TLFS to hyperv-tlfs.h
  x86/hyper-v: allocate and use Virtual Processor Assist Pages
  x86/hyper-v: define struct hv_enlightened_vmcs and clean field bits
  x86/hyper-v: detect nested features
  x86/kvm: use Enlightened VMCS when running on Hyper-V
