[PATCH 5/5] KVM: arm64: Support the vcpu preemption check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Zengruan Ye <yezengruan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Support the vcpu_is_preempted() functionality under KVM/arm64. This will
enhance lock performance on overcommitted hosts (more runnable vcpus
than physical cpus in the system) as doing busy waits for preempted
vcpus will hurt system performance far worse than early yielding.

unix benchmark result:
  host:  kernel 5.5.0-rc1, HiSilicon Kunpeng920, 8 cpus
  guest: kernel 5.5.0-rc1, 16 vcpus
