[PATCH RFC V5 2/6] kvm hypervisor : Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks

From: Raghavendra K T
Date: Fri Mar 23 2012 - 04:08:09 EST


From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

KVM_HC_KICK_CPU allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state.

The presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT/KVM_CAP_PV_UNHALT.
