[PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: nVMX: Enlightened VMCS for Hyper-V on KVM

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

 



Changes since v1 [Liran Alon]:
- Split PATCH2 into two.
- Add a comment explaining eVMCS versioning.
- Convert evmcs_needs_write() to inline function.
- Drop 'unlikely' in vmx_vcpu_run().
- Add Reviewed-by tags.

Description:

This is an initial implementation of Enlightened VMCS for nested Hyper-V on
KVM. Using it helps to spare 1500 cpu cycles for nested vmexit (tight cpuid
loop in WS2016 with Hyper-V role on KVM: 15200 cycles -> 13700 cycles).
