Subject: [Qemu-devel] [v2 1/2] kvmclock: add a new function to update env->tsc.
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 11:51:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446695464-27116-2-git-send-email-liang.z.li@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1446695464-27116-1-git-send-email-liang.z.li@intel.com>
The commit 317b0a6d8 fixed an issue which caused by the outdated
env->tsc value, but the fix lead to 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()'
called twice during live migration. The 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()'
takes about 130us for a VM which has 4 vcpus, it's a bit expensive.
Synchronize the whole CPU context just for updating env->tsc is too
wasting, this patch use a new function to update the env->tsc.
Comparing to 'cpu_synchronize_all_states()', it only takes about 20us.
