We currently emulate that as a NOP but on VMX we can do better: let guest stop the CPU until timer, IPI or memory change. CPU will be busy but that isn't any worse than a NOP emulation. Note that mwait within guests is not the same as on real hardware because halt causes an exit while mwait doesn't. For this reason it might not be a good idea to use the regular MWAIT flag in CPUID to signal this capability. Add a flag in the hypervisor leaf instead. Additionally, we add a capability for QEMU - e.g. if it knows there's an isolated CPU dedicated for the VCPU it can set the standard MWAIT flag to improve guest behaviour. Reported-by: "Gabriel L. Somlo" Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin --- This is for Gabriel's testing only. A bit rushed so untested.
