Subject: [PATCH RFC V3 2/3] kvm: Note down when cpu relax intercepted or pause loop exited
Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2012 00:48:01 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120712191800.30440.16406.sendpatchset@codeblue> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120712191712.30440.68944.sendpatchset@codeblue>
From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Noting pause loop exited or cpu relax intercepted vcpu helps in
filtering right candidate to yield. Wrong selection of vcpu;
i.e., a vcpu that just did a pl-exit or cpu relax intercepted may
contribute to performance degradation.
