From: vaibhav <vajain21@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch series introduces series of performance improvements to recently added support for Nested APIv2 PPC64 Guests via [1]. Details for Nested APIv2 for PPC64 Guests is available in Documentation/powerpc/kvm-nested.rst. This patch series introduces various optimizations for a Nested APIv2 guests namely: * Reduce the number times L1 hypervisor requests for L2 state from L0. * Register the L2 VPA with L1 * Optimizing interrupt delivery of some interrupt types. * Optimize emulation of mmio loads/stores for L2 in L1. The hcalls needed for testing these patches have been implemented in the spapr qemu model and is available at [2]. There are scripts available to assist in setting up an environment for testing nested guests at [3]. These patches are consequence of insights from on going performance engineering effort for improving performance of Nested APIv2 Guests.
