[PATCH kvmtool] kvmtool: expose the TSC Deadline Timer feature to the guest

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

 



From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

with the TSC deadline timer feature, we don't need to calibrate the apic
timers anymore, which saves more than 100 milliseconds of boot time.
