Andy Lutomirski b7ffc44d5b x86/kvm/vmx: Defer TR reload after VM exit ... Intel's VMX is daft and resets the hidden TSS limit register to 0x67 on VMX reload, and the 0x67 is not configurable. KVM currently reloads TR using the LTR instruction on every exit, but this is quite slow because LTR is serializing. The 0x67 limit is entirely harmless unless ioperm() is in use, so defer the reload until a task using ioperm() is actually running. Here's some poorly done benchmarking using kvm-unit-tests: Before: cpuid 1313 vmcall 1195 mov_from_cr8 11 mov_to_cr8 17 inl_from_pmtimer 6770 inl_from_qemu 6856 inl_from_kernel 2435 outl_to_kernel 1402 After: cpuid 1291 vmcall 1181 mov_from_cr8 11 mov_to_cr8 16 inl_from_pmtimer 6457 inl_from_qemu 6209 inl_from_kernel 2339 outl_to_kernel 1391 Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> [Force-reload TR in invalidate_tss_limit. - Paolo] Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>		2017-02-21 12:45:08 +01:00
