Subject: [PATCH 3/9] KVM: VMX: make PLE window per-vcpu
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 22:35:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1408480536-8240-4-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1408480536-8240-1-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com>
Change PLE window into per-vcpu variable, seeded from module parameter,
to allow greater flexibility.
Brings in a small overhead on every vmentry.
Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com>

I've been thinking about a general hierarchical per-vcpu variable model,
but it's hard to have current performance and sane code.
