Subject[PATCH 0/9 v3] KVM: Nested SVM fixes and tracepoint conversion
Date
Hi Avi, Marcelo,

this series of patches contains bugfixes for the Nested SVM code and the
conversion of Nested SVM debugging to tracepoints. The fixes are:

1) A patch Alex already sent (1/9) but which was not yet
applied. It fixes a lost event_inj problem when we emulate a
vmrun and a vmexit without entering the guest in the
meantime.

2) The patch 2/9 fixes a schedule() while atomic bug in the
Nested SVM code. The KVM interrupt injection code runs with
preemtion and interrupts disabled. But the
enable_irq_window() function from SVM may emulate a #vmexit.
This emulation might sleep which causes the schedule() while
atomic() bug.

These fixes (patches 1 and 2) should also be considered for -stable
backporting. The patches 3 to 8 convert the old printk based debugging
for Nested SVM to tracepoints. Patch 9 removes the nsvm_printk code.
Please review and/or consider to apply these changes.

Thanks,

Joerg

Changes to v2:

* Fixed typo in trace_printk message for invlpga
* Converted "key=value" strings into "key: value"

Changes to v1:

* Fixed typo on comment in patch
"KVM: SVM: Notify nested hypervisor of lost event injections"
* Made the fix for the schedule()-while-atomic bug out of the generic
code. It touches only SVM code now.
