The various syscall-related MSRs are fairly expensive to switch. Currently we switch them on every vcpu preemption, which is far too often: - if we're switching to a kernel thread (idle task, threaded interrupt, kernel-mode virtio server (vhost-net), for example) and back, then there's no need to switch those MSRs since kernel threasd won't be exiting to userspace. - if we're switching to another guest running an identical OS, most likely those MSRs will have the same value, so there's little point in reloading them. - if we're running the same OS on the guest and host, the MSRs will have identical values and reloading is unnecessary. This patch uses the new user return notifiers to implement last-minute switching, and checks the msr values to avoid unnecessary reloading. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware
|
|
virtualization extensions. You will need a fairly recent
|
|
processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also
|
|
need to select one or more of the processor modules below.
|
|
|
|
This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
|
|
a character device node named /dev/kvm.
|
|
|
|
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called kvm.

If unsure, say N.
