[PATCH 26/52] KVM: PPC: Avoid patching paravirt template code

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

 



From: Liu Yu-B13201 <Yu.Liu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently we patch the whole code include paravirt template code.
This isn't safe for scratch area and has impact to performance.
