Igor Mammedov 9c1a5d3878 kvm: optimize GFN to memslot lookup with large slots amount ... Current linear search doesn't scale well when large amount of memslots is used and looked up slot is not in the beginning memslots array. Taking in account that memslots don't overlap, it's possible to switch sorting order of memslots array from 'npages' to 'base_gfn' and use binary search for memslot lookup by GFN. As result of switching to binary search lookup times are reduced with large amount of memslots. Following is a table of search_memslot() cycles during WS2008R2 guest boot. boot, boot + ~10 min mostly same of using it, slot lookup randomized lookup max average average cycles cycles cycles 13 slots : 1450 28 30 13 slots : 1400 30 40 binary search 117 slots : 13000 30 460 117 slots : 2000 35 180 binary search Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>		2014-12-04 15:29:11 +01:00
