[PATCH v6 26/48] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Reduce mftb per guest entry/exit

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

 



mftb is serialising (dispatch next-to-complete) so it is heavy weight
for a mfspr. Avoid reading it multiple times in the entry or exit paths.
A small number of cycles delay to timers is tolerable.
