[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v6] x86/hvm/viridian: Enable APIC assist enlightenment
This patch adds code to enable the APIC assist enlightenment which,
under certain conditions, means that the guest can avoid an EOI of
the local APIC and thereby avoid a VMEXIT.
Use of the enlightenment by the hypervisor is under control of the
toolstack, and is added to the default set.

v6:
- Addressed various comments from Jan
v4:
- Re-worded xl.cfg text and added missing LIBXL_HAVE_ definition
v3:
- Re-instated read-modify-write for forwards compatibility
- Fix a coding style issue
v2:
- Removed some code duplication and unnecessary read-modify-write
operations on the APIC assist word.
- Stated in the xl.cfg text that the enlightenment has no effect if
posted interrupts are in use.
- Added the enlightenment to the default set.
