[PATCH v1 3/5] tools: Add KVM exit reason for the Idle HLT

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

 



From: Manali Shukla <Manali.Shukla@xxxxxxx>

The Idle HLT intercept feature allows for the HLT instruction execution
by a vCPU to be intercepted by hypervisor only if there are no pending
V_INR and V_NMI events for the vCPU. The Idle HLT intercept will not be
triggerred when vCPU is expected to service pending events (V_INTR and
V_NMI).

The new SVM_EXIT_IDLE_HLT is introduced as part of the Idle HLT
intercept feature. Add it to SVM_EXIT_REASONS, so that the
SVM_EXIT_IDLE_HLT type of VMEXIT is recognized by tools like perf etc.
