Paolo Bonzini 14ebda3394 KVM: x86: reduce default value of halt_poll_ns parameter ... Windows lets applications choose the frequency of the timer tick, and in Windows 10 the maximum rate was changed from 1024 Hz to 2048 Hz. Unfortunately, because of the way the Windows API works, most applications who need a higher rate than the default 64 Hz will just do timeGetDevCaps(&tc, sizeof(tc)); timeBeginPeriod(tc.wPeriodMin); and pick the maximum rate. This causes very high CPU usage when playing media or games on Windows 10, even if the guest does not actually use the CPU very much, because the frequent timer tick causes halt_poll_ns to kick in. There is no really good solution, especially because Microsoft could sooner or later bump the limit to 4096 Hz, but for now the best we can do is lower a bit the upper limit for halt_poll_ns. :-( Reported-by: Jon Panozzo <jonp@lime-technology.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>		2016-04-01 12:10:10 +02:00
