[PATCH] KVM: X86: Don't load/put guest FPU context for sleeping AP

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Tue Mar 10 2020 - 03:01:31 EST


From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

kvm_load_guest_fpu() and kvm_put_guest_fpu() each consume more than 14us
observed by ftrace, the qemu userspace FPU is swapped out for the guest
FPU context for the duration of the KVM_RUN ioctl even if sleeping AP,
we shouldn't load/put guest FPU context for this case especially for
serverless scenario which sensitives to boot time.
