From: Yang Zhang <yang.zhang.wz at gmail.com> Some latency-intensive workload have seen obviously performance drop when running inside VM. The main reason is that the overhead is amplified when running inside VM. The most cost I have seen is inside idle path. This patch introduces a new mechanism to poll for a while before entering idle state. If schedule is needed during poll, then we

From: Quan Xu <quan.xu0 at gmail.com> So far, pv_idle_ops.poll is the only ops for pv_idle. .poll is called in idle path which will poll for a while before we enter the real idle state. In virtualization, idle path includes several heavy operations includes timer access(LAPIC timer or TSC deadline timer) which will hurt performance especially for latency intensive workload like message
