[PATCH v2 00/13] whpx: i386: Windows 10 and performance fixes
Posted by Mohamed Mediouni 1 week, 5 days ago
On Windows 10, the paravirtualisation enlightenments aren't available.
And neither is performance monitoring. Using the former as a gate to
operate in a reduced-functionality mode on Windows 10.

And on the performance side, some state is really expensive to fetch
or write with Hyper-V so switch some less-essential state to on demand.

The effect of this is magnified on Windows 10 because Hyper-V enlightenments
are not available there.

v1 -> v2:
- fix x86 HVF compatibility
- small nits
- added workaround for an issue that showed up during 32-bit Linux boot
on AMD

Issue number: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/work_items/3349
