Current kvm disables preemption while the new virtualization registers are in use. This of course is not very good for latency sensitive workloads (one use of virtualization is to offload user interface and other latency insensitive stuff to a container, so that it is easier to analyze the remaining workload). This patch re-enables preemption for kvm; preemption is now only disabled when switching the registers in and out, and during the switch to guest mode and back. Contains fixes from Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

operating systems inside virtual machines (guests).

This option alone does not add any kernel code.

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.
