From: Raghavendra K T Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 17:49:20 +0000 (+0530) Subject: KVM: VMX: remove yield_on_hlt X-Git-Tag: v3.4-rc1~59^2~31 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=10166744b80a41c30d82bc6e11140f5b28d257ab;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-adaptation-intel-automotive.git KVM: VMX: remove yield_on_hlt yield_on_hlt was introduced for CPU bandwidth capping. Now it is redundant with CFS hardlimit. yield_on_hlt also complicates the scenario in paravirtual environment, that needs to trap halt. for e.g. paravirtualized ticket spinlocks.
