[RFC PATCH 43/43] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Optimise hash guest SLB saving

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

 



slbmfee/slbmfev instructions are very expensive, moreso than a regular
mfspr instruction, so minimising them significantly improves hash guest
exit performance. The slbmfev is only required if slbmfee found a valid
SLB entry.
