[kvm-devel] [PATCH/RFC 4/4] Add support for dynamic ticks.

2007-08-16 Thread Luca Tettamanti
If DYNAMIC_TICKS is defined qemu does not attepmt to generate SIGALRM at a constant rate. Rather, the system timer is set to generate SIGALRM only when it is needed. DYNAMIC_TICKS reduces the number of SIGALRMs sent to idle dynamic-ticked guests. Original patch from Dan Kenigsberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED
