[PATCH v2 18/37] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Use large decrementer for HDEC

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

 



On processors that don't suppress the HDEC exceptions when LPCR[HDICE]=0,
this could help reduce needless guest exits due to leftover exceptions on
entering the guest.
