Subject: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: VMX: mark RDMSR path as unlikely
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 22:41:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1519249297-73718-4-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1519249297-73718-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>

vmx_vcpu_run and svm_vcpu_run are large functions, and this can actually
make a substantial cycle difference by keeping the fast path contiguous
in memory.  Without it, the retpoline guest/retpoline host case is about
50 cycles slower.
