From: Gautam Menghani <gau...@linux.ibm.com> This is an effort to use the generic kvm infra which handles check for need_resched, handling signals etc. i.e xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work.
kvm guests boots and runs stress-ng CPU stressor on PowerVM and on PowerNV. preempt=full and preempt=lazy was tested on PowerNV and in both cases the KVM guest boots and runs stress-ng CPU stressor. Please let me know if any specific testing to be done. Kept the patches separate since they differ functionally, but kept them is a series since 2nd patch depends on functionality of 1st. Also this could help in git bisect. This is based on tip/master Shrikanth Hegde (2): powerpc: kvm: use generic transfer to guest mode work powerpc: enable to run posix cpu timers in task context arch/powerpc/Kconfig | 2 ++ arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c | 13 +++++++------ arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c | 22 ++++++++-------------- 3 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) -- 2.48.1
