[PATCH 5/5] KVM: VMX: Give the guest ownership of cr0.ts when the fpu is active

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

 



If the guest fpu is loaded, there is nothing interesing about cr0.ts; let
the guest play with it as it will.  This makes context switches between fpu
intensive guest processes faster, as we won't trap the clts and cr0 write
instructions.
