From e168bf8de33e16a909df2401af1f7d419c5780de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carsten Otte Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2012 10:25:22 +0100 Subject: KVM: s390: ucontrol: export page faults to user This patch introduces a new exit reason in the kvm_run structure named KVM_EXIT_S390_UCONTROL. This exit indicates, that a virtual cpu has regognized a fault on the host page table. The idea is that userspace can handle this fault by mapping memory at the fault location into the cpu's address space and then continue to run the virtual cpu.
