Fist patch optimizes arm64 save/restore, we only do so on Guest access. hackbench and several lmbench tests show anywhere from 30% to above 50% optimzation achieved. In second patch 32-bit handler is updated to keep exit handling consistent with 64-bit code. Changes since v1: - Addressed Marcs comments - Verified optimization improvements with lmbench and hackbench, updated commit message Changes since v2: - only for patch 2/2 - Reworked trapping to vfp access handler Changes since v3: - Only for patch 2/2 - Removed load_vcpu in switch_to_guest_vfp per Marcs comment - Got another chance to replace an unreferenced label with a comment Mario Smarduch (2): Optimize arm64 skip 30-50% vfp/simd save/restore on exits keep arm vfp/simd exit handling consistent with arm64 arch/arm/kvm/interrupts.S | 14 +++++++----- arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_arm.h | 5 ++++- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.S | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 3 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5
