Subject: [PATCH RFC V5 2/3] kvm: Note down when cpu relax intercepted or pause loop exited
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:07:46 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120718133746.5321.74543.sendpatchset@codeblue.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120718133717.5321.71347.sendpatchset@codeblue.in.ibm.com>

From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Noting pause loop exited vcpu or cpu relax intercepted helps in
filtering right candidate to yield. Wrong selection of vcpu;
i.e., a vcpu that just did a pl-exit or cpu relax intercepted may
contribute to performance degradation.
