From af415087d2bbbef3cc25cdf371bfb0460cf66b3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Graf Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:29:57 +0200 Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: No isync in slbie path While messing around with the SLBs we're running in real mode. The entry to guest space goes through rfid, which is context synchronizing, so there's no need to manually synchronize anything through isync. With this patch and a simple priviledged SPR access loop guest, I get a speed bump from 2035607 to 2181301 exits per second.
