The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben Herrenschmidt. POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention. With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware. Conflicts: arch/powerpc/kernel/cpu_setup_power.S [cherry-picked fix] arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_xive.c [include asm/debugfs.h] |
