[PATCH 0/8] Post-PPC32 series

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

 



While working with the PPC32 host target we finally have I stumbled over
several things. Thanks to the now possible performance measurements I also
tracked down split mode as one of the major slowdowns to KVM.

What's left now that slows us down is the normal flushing code that needs
to move to a table based lookup and instruction emulation. On PPC32 guests
we waste about 70% of our time on emulating mfmsr, mtmsr, mfsprg, mtsprg
and friends.

Either way - this patch series deprecates the former performance counter
and u64 patch.

Avi / Marcelo, please apply the former series and this series. Ignore the
two patches in between.

Alexander Graf (8):
  KVM: PPC: Convert u64 -> ulong

  KVM: PPC: Be more informative on BUG
  KVM: PPC: Set VSID_PR also for Book3S_64
  KVM: PPC: Fix Book3S_64 Host MMU debug output
  KVM: PPC: Find HTAB ourselves
