Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] KVM: VMX: make PLE window per-VCPU
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 22:53:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1408567997-21222-4-git-send-email-rkrcmar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1408567997-21222-1-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.
