From 20754c2495a791b5b429c0da63394c86ade978e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hollis Blanchard Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:54:51 -0500 Subject: KVM: ppc: Stop saving host TLB state We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it. Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host process (i.e. not qemu). Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves guest boot time by about 15%.
