Impact of CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y / mmap benchmark

2017-03-28 Thread Radu Rendec
still have a copy of Ingo Molnar's mmap-perf.c program (the old link is broken)? Would it still be relevant to use it for measuring performance in case of PARAVIRT? Last but not least, has anyone looked into PARAVIRT performance more recently? Thank you! Best regards, Radu Rendec
