[PATCH 14/18] Fix a possible backwards warp of kvmclock
Kernel time, which advances in discrete steps may progress much slower than TSC. As a result, when kvmclock is adjusted to a new base, the apparent time to the guest, which runs at a much higher, nsec scaled rate based on the current TSC, may have already been observed to have a larger value (kernel_ns + scaled ts... 12 Jul 2010 22:56

[PATCH 09/18] Add helper functions for time computation
Add a helper function to compute the kernel time and convert nanoseconds back to CPU specific cycles. Note that these must not be called in preemptible context, as that would mean the kernel could enter software suspend state, which would cause non-atomic operation. Also, convert the KVM_SET_CLOCK / KVM_GET_CLOC... 12 Jul 2010 22:56

[PATCH 02/18] Fix SVM VMCB reset
On reset, VMCB TSC should be set to zero. Instead, code was setting tsc_offset to zero, which passes through the underlying TSC.

acer-wmi: fix memory leaks in wmab_execute error path
hi Andrew, I just found acer-wmi-fix-memory-leaks-in-wmab_execute-error-path.patch added to -mm tree. But I think the V2 version is the correct one. If the second wmab_execute fail (for any reason) , we need to free the existing buffer before return status. Sould I resend the patch? Regards, Axel 於 五，2010-... 12 Jul 2010 21:49
