kvm : Fold pv_unhalt flag into GET_MP_STATE ioctl to aid migration From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt at linux.vnet.ibm.com> During migration, any vcpu that got kicked but did not become runnable (still in halted state) should be runnable after migration.

This series forms the kvm host part of paravirtual spinlock based against kvm tree. Please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/9/265 for kvm guest and Xen, x86 part merged to -tip spinlocks. Please note that: kvm uapi: Add KICK_CPU and PV_UNHALT definition to uapi is a common patch for both guest and host. Changes since V12: fold the patch 3 into patch 2 for bisection. (Eric Northup)

...patches are targeted for 3.5 window ] Changes in V6: - Rebased to 3.4-rc3 - Removed debugfs changes patch which should now be in Xen/linux-next. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/30/687) - Removed PV_UNHALT_MSR since currently we don't need guest communication, and made pv_unhalt folded to GET_MP_STATE (Marcello, Avi[long back]) - Take jumplabel changes from Ingo/Jason into use (static_key_slow_inc usage) - Added inline to spinlock_init in non PARAVIRT case - Move arch specific code to arch/x86 and add stubs to other archs (Marcello) - Added more comments on pv_unhalt usage etc (Marcello) Change...

The 4-patch series to follow this email extends KVM-hypervisor and Linux guest running on KVM-hypervisor to support pv-ticket spinlocks, based on Xen's implementation. One hypercall is introduced in KVM hypervisor,that allows a vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state. The blocking of vcpu is done using halt() in (lock_spinning) slowpath. The V2 change discussion was in:
