[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 4/4] nested vmx: enable VMCS shadowing feature
The current logic for handling the non-root VMREAD/VMWRITE is by
VM-Exit and emulate, which may bring certain overhead.
On new Intel platform, it introduces a new feature called VMCS
shadowing, where non-root VMREAD/VMWRITE will not trigger VM-Exit,
and the hardware will read/write the virtual VMCS instead.
This is proved to have performance improvement with the feature.
