Subject[PATCH v5 0/7] Enlightened VMCS support for KVM on Hyper-V
Date
Changes since v4:
- Code style changes in PATCH4,6 [Thomas Gleixner]
- Add Thomas' and Radim's Reviewed-bys.

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
