[PATCH v2 1/1] KVM: PPC: Introduce KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM

[PATCH v2 1/1] KVM: PPC: Introduce KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM

[Sam Bobroff]

Introduce a new KVM capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM, that can be queried to
determine if a PowerPC KVM guest should use HTM (Hardware Transactional
Memory).

This will be used by QEMU to populate the pa-features bits in the
guest's device tree.

v2:

* Use CPU_FTR_TM_COMP instead of CPU_FTR_TM.
* I didn't unbreak the line, as with the extra characters checkpatch will
  complain if I do. I did move the break to a more usual place.

Minor nit, "should" should be "can" IMHO.

Thanks.

Or do you want me to merge this before Paul gets back?

I would just ignore checkpatch. But I don't mind that much.

No, this should be merged through the KVM tree.  Please Cc the KVM
maintainers before offering to apply a patch that formally belongs to
another tree.

I don't care if Paul merges the patch or Radim and I do, but we're
getting lots of unnecessary conflicts from patches that go through the
main architecture tree and that shouldn't really happen.  Please let's
keep some discipline, as I want to minimize the number of conflicts that
reach Linus (and 4.8 is going to be *bad* in this respect, with both PPC
and s390 having conflicts between the KVM and arch tree).

In particular this patch would indeed have a conflict, because you have

+#define KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM 129

but cap numbers 129 and 130 are already taken.  So whoever applies it
should bump the number to 131.

Yeah OK. It was just an offer, because I know the Qemu side is blocked
until this goes in.

Yep, I know about KVM caps, I probably would have remembered to check
the KVM tree. At the very least it would have got caught in linux-next.

Applied now, it's 132.
