Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] x86/kvm: Reduce vcpu_is_preempted() overhead
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 16:37:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1487194670-6319-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
v3->v4:
- Fix x86-32 build error.
v2->v3:
- Provide an optimized __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted()
in assembly as suggested by PeterZ.
- Add a new patch to change vcpu_is_preempted() argument type to long
to ease the writing of the assembly code.
v1->v2:
- Rerun the fio test on a different system on both bare-metal and a
KVM guest. Both sockets were utilized in this test.
- The commit log was updated with new performance numbers, but the
patch wasn't changed.
- Drop patch 2.
As it was found that the overhead of callee-save vcpu_is_preempted()
can have some impact on system performance on a VM guest, especially
of x86-64 guest, this patch set intends to reduce this performance
overhead by replacing the C __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted() function by
an optimized version of __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted()
written in assembly.
Waiman Long (2):
x86/paravirt: Change vcp_is_preempted() arg type to long
x86/kvm: Provide optimized version of vcpu_is_preempted() for x86-64
