From acd05785e48c01edb2c4f4d014d28478b5f19fb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Matlack Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 15:14:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kvm: add capability for halt polling KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL is a per-VM capability that lets userspace control the halt-polling time, allowing halt-polling to be tuned or disabled on particular VMs. With dynamic halt-polling, a VM's VCPUs can poll from anywhere from [0, halt_poll_ns] on each halt. KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL sets the upper limit on the poll time.
