Subject: x86 hvm: Improve paging performance for 64b solaris guests
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.8.0-1+rpi1~1^2~14200^2~97
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3f0cd2273cb5bd0d57b86686b0c6b6c0c7030af2;p=xen.git

x86 hvm: Improve paging performance for 64b solaris guests

The following patch provides a 'fast-path' for sh_remove_write_access()
for 64 bit Solaris HVM guests. This provides a significant performance
boost for such guests; our testing shows a 200-400% improvement in
microbenchmarks such as fork(), exit(), etc...
