[PATCH 3/5] KVM: x86: Apply TSX_CTRL_CPUID_CLEAR if and only if the vCPU has RTM or HLE

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

 



When emulating CPUID, retrieve MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL.TSX_CTRL_CPUID_CLEAR if
and only if RTM and/or HLE feature bits need to be cleared.  Getting the
MSR value is unnecessary if neither bit is set, and avoiding the lookup
saves ~80 cycles for vCPUs without RTM or HLE.
