Subject: [PATCH 12/13] powerpc/64s: idle POWER9 can execute stop in virtual mode
Date: Sun, 6 Aug 2017 03:02:40 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170805170241.22966-13-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170805170241.22966-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
The hardware can execute stop in any context, and KVM does not
require real mode. This saves a switch to real-mode when going
idle.
