ms/kvm: dynamic halt-polling
There is a downside of always-poll since poll is still happened for idle
vCPUs which can waste cpu usage. This patchset add the ability to adjust
halt_poll_ns dynamically, to grow halt_poll_ns when shot halt is detected,
and to shrink halt_poll_ns when long halt is detected.
There are two new kernel parameters for changing the halt_poll_ns:
halt_poll_ns_grow and halt_poll_ns_shrink.
no-poll always-poll dynamic-poll
"Idle (X) vCPU %c0" is the percent of time the physical cpu spent in
c0 over 60 seconds (each vCPU is pinned to a pCPU). (nohz) means the
guest was tickless. (250HZ) means the guest was ticking at 250HZ.
The big win is with ticking operating systems. Running the linux guest
with nohz=off (and HZ=250), we save 3.4%~12.8% CPUs/second and get close
to no-polling overhead levels by using the dynamic-poll. The savings
should be even higher for higher frequency ticks.
