Windows I/O, such as the real-time clock. The address register (port
0x70 in the RTC case) can use coalesced I/O, cutting the number of
userspace exits by half when reading or writing the RTC.
Guest access rtc like this: write register index to 0x70, then write or
read data from 0x71. writing 0x70 port is just as index and do nothing
else. So we can use coalesced mmio to handle this scene to reduce VM-EXIT
time.
In our environment, 12 windows guest running on a Skylake server:
Before patch:
IO Port Access Samples Samples% Time% Avg time
0x70:POUT 20675 46.04% 92.72% 67.15us ( +- 7.93% )
After patch:
IO Port Access Samples Samples% Time% Avg time
0x70:POUT 17509 45.42% 42.08% 6.37us ( +- 20.37% )
Thanks to Peng Hao's initial patch.
