Subject: [PATCH v4 0/7] Enlightened VMCS support for KVM on Hyper-V
Date:   Fri, 16 Mar 2018 15:22:13 +0100
Message-Id: <20180316142220.32506-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Changes since v3:
- Add Michael's Reviewed-by to PATCH2,5,6
- PATCH1:
  - Decipher 'TLFS' and add a reference where it can be obtained
    [Christoph Hellwig]
- PATCH4:
  - remove vfree() from hv_cpu_die() [Thomas Gleixner]
  - free hv_vp_assist_page() in the error path [Thomas Gleixner]
    While on it, add cpuhp_remove_state() call when we fail to allocate
    hypercall page to make the error path complete.
  - check hv_vp_assist_page != NULL in hv_get_vp_assist_page()
    [Thomas Gleixner]
- PATCH7:
  - split off vmx_evmcs.h [Paolo Bonzini]
  - merge get_evmcs_offset() and get_evmcs_offset_cf() [Paolo Bonzini]
  - move evmcs_sanitize_exec_ctrls() to setup_vmcs_config [Paolo Bonzini]
  - rename vmcs_load_enlightened() -> evmcs_load() [Paolo Bonzini]
  - drop evmcs_sanitize_exec_ctrls() from dump_vmcs() [Paolo Bonzini]

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
