[PATCH v3 20/27] KVM: x86: Allow WRMSRNS to be advertised to guests

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

 



From: Xin Li <xin3.li@xxxxxxxxx>

Allow WRMSRNS to be advertised to guests.

WRMSRNS behaves exactly like WRMSR with the only difference being
that it is not a serializing instruction by default.  It improves
performance when being used in a hot path, e.g., setting FRED RSP0.
