[PATCH] KVM: s390: Enable specification exception interpretation

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

 



When this feature is enabled the hardware is free to interpret
specification exceptions generated by the guest, instead of causing
program interruption interceptions.

This benefits (test) programs that generate a lot of specification
exceptions (roughly 4x increase in exceptions/sec).

Interceptions will occur as before if ICTL_PINT is set,
i.e. if guest debug is enabled.

I'll additionally send kvm-unit-tests for testing this feature.
