Subject: [RESEND] ACPI / processor_idle: use dead loop instead of io port access for wait
Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2019 15:39:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190909073937.31554-1-fengwei.yin@intel.com> (raw)
In function acpi_idle_do_entry(), we do an io port access to guarantee
hardware behavior. But it could trigger unnecessary vmexit for
virtualization environemnt.
From the comments of this part of code, we could use busy wait instead
of io port access to guarantee hardware behavior and avoid unnecessary
vmexit.
