2016-01-06Fix for KVMFORNFV-23(Fuel installed KVM kernel blank screens on boot).José Pekkarinen1-2/+2
The configuration of the kernel enables the framebuffer console without any framebuffer selected other than i915. Adding the VESA compliant framebuffer should fix this issue. Change-Id: Icc384e05774e1de20985aeb19dfef25ae2431bb6 Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@nokia.com>

2015-11-24Make vfio MSI interrupt be non-threaded.Yunhong Jiang1-1/+1
Currently the vfio msi interrupt is kept as IRQ thread, this is not good for NFV scenerio because in NFV scenerio, we want to inject the interrupt to the guest asap. A threaded IRQ introduces schedule latency. However, this change is like a quick and dirty and may bring potential deadlock, because the spinlock_irqsave() from eventfd_signal() is preemptible in RT kernel, which should not be held on IRQ context. But changing it to be raw_spinlock is bad because it will increase the latency a lot if the eventfd is accessed by user space. The deadlock should be ok since for vfio MSI handler is purely kernel story and the lock is a per-eventfd lock and seems no one else is using it for the vfio msi scenario.

2015-11-20Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magicYunhong Jiang2-44/+31
This is a backporting from upstream linux, please refer to http://marc.info/?t=142904577100001&r=1&w=2 for more information, the corresponding kernel commit is 0ff53d09642204c64842 (tick: sched: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic). The purpose of this patch is, if a tick_sched interrupt is missed, don't try to raise softirq, instead, we can simply trigger the timer interrupt. The reason is, softirq requires context switch and has much higher overhead than interrupt.

2015-11-20Add configuration to support OVS kernel moduleYunhong Jiang1-7/+13
OVS kernel module is important for NFV. The existed kernel config misses several important kernel configuration, mostly for VxLAN, which is required by the OVS kernel module. Also add the OVS as a module, so that user can use it if needed, or replace it when use the OPNFV patched OVS module.

2015-10-29Add the opnfv kernel config fileYunhong Jiang1-0/+3741
Kernel config is important for RT linux. A specific config file is provided for the opnfv project to build the reference config options. Currently this config file is assumed to be used for both host and guest kernel. We may split them in future.
