The cpuidle_haltpoll governor, in conjunction with the haltpoll cpuidle
driver, allows guest vcpus to poll for a specified amount of time before
halting.
This provides the following benefits to host side polling:
1) The POLL flag is set while polling is performed, which allows
a remote vCPU to avoid sending an IPI (and the associated
cost of handling the IPI) when performing a wakeup.
2) The VM-exit cost can be avoided.
The downside of guest side polling is that polling is performed
even with other runnable tasks in the host.
Results comparing halt_poll_ns and server/client application
where a small packet is ping-ponged:
host --> 31.33
halt_poll_ns=300000 / no guest busy spin --> 33.40 (93.8%)
halt_poll_ns=0 / guest_halt_poll_ns=300000 --> 32.73 (95.7%)
For the SAP HANA benchmarks (where idle_spin is a parameter
of the previous version of the patch, results should be the
same):
hpns == halt_poll_ns
idle_spin=0/ idle_spin=800/ idle_spin=0/
hpns=200000 hpns=0 hpns=800000

CPU idle is a generic framework for supporting software-controlled
|
|
idle processor power management. It includes modular cross-platform
|
|
governors that can be swapped during runtime.
|
|
|
|
If you're using an ACPI-enabled platform, you should say Y here.

This governor implements a simplified idle state selection method
|
|
focused on timer events and does not do any interactivity boosting.
|
|
|
|
Some workloads benefit from using it and it generally should be safe
|
|
to use. Say Y here if you are not happy with the alternatives.

This option enables halt poll cpuidle driver, which allows to poll
|
|
before halting in the guest (more efficient than polling in the
|
|
host via halt_poll_ns for some scenarios).
