Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] whpx: i386: Some more changes
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:29:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415132926.58878-1-mohamed@unpredictable.fr> (raw)
This applies on top of the "whpx: i386: bug fixes, feature probing and CPUID" series.
"target: i386: HLT type that ignores EFLAGS.IF" is probably the most worthwhile patch
here, and that not-quite-an-HLT might be what's needed to reduce CPU idle on KVM on
recent Windows versions too..
v1 -> v2:
Oops, my v1 had a bug in HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_IDLE emulation, We should not inject interrupts
after it ignoring EFLAGS.IF. That matters just for the wake from HLT.
Trapping one more CPUID for x2APIC system topology, and some more x2APIC awareness. For the
kernel-irqchip=off case, keep the hypervisor aware of the initial APIC ID we're hoosing anyways.
Based-on: <20260413205208.50643-1-mohamed@unpredictable.fr>
