[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [RFC][PATCH 03/10] xen/hybrid: Xen Hybrid Extension initialization
As we know that PV guest have performance issue with x86_64 that guest kernel
and userspace resistent in the same ring, then the necessary TLB flushes when
switch between guest userspace and guest kernel cause overhead, and much more
syscall overhead is also introduced. The Hybrid Extension estimated these
overhead by putting guest kernel back in (non-root) ring0 then achieve the
better performance than PV guest.
The Hybrid Extension is started from real mode like HVM guest, but also with a
component based PV feature selection(e.g. PV halt, PV timer, event channel,
then PV drivers). So guest with Hybrid extension feature can takes the
advantages of both H/W virtualization and Para-Virtualization.
This patch introduced the Hybrid Extension guest initialization.
Guest would detect Hybrid capability using CPUID 0x40000002.edx, then call
HVMOP_enable_hybrid hypercall to enable hybrid support in hypervisor.
