This includes assumptions made, dead ends followed, the reasoning behind the structuring of the code, the layout of various structures, how things fit together, traps and pit-falls avoided, etc. This is all too much to document in the code itself, so do it in a separate file.

* | | | | | mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted ↵Mel Gorman2010-05-25

One of these is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

So let's implement that as an exit reason, specify it with a CAP and only really use it when userspace wants us to. The only user of it so far is MOL.

One example for that is the OSI interface, implemented in the next patch. In order to have a generic mechanism in how to enable capabilities individually, this patch introduces a new ioctl that can be used for this purpose. That way features we don't want in all guests or userspace configurations can just not be enabled and we're good.

Transfer it in the spare padding field of kvm_vcpu_events.interrupt. As a side effect we now have to make vmx_set_interrupt_shadow robust against both shadow types being set. Give MOV SS a higher priority and skip STI in that case to avoid that VMX throws a fault on next entry. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
