From 2ce7918990641b07e70e1b25752d666369e2016e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Smetanin Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 15:01:41 +0300 Subject: kvm/x86: add sending hyper-v crash notification to user space Sending of notification is done by exiting vcpu to user space if KVM_REQ_HV_CRASH is enabled for vcpu. At exit to user space the kvm_run structure contains system_event with type KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_CRASH to notify about guest crash occurred. Signed-off-by: Andrey Smetanin Signed-off-by: Denis V.
