Subject[RFC PATCH 0/3] Emulator Speedups - Optimize Instruction fetches
Date
My initial attempt at caching gva->gpa->hva translations. Pretty straight
forward with details in the individual patches.

I haven't yet looked into if there are other possibilities
to speed things up, just thought of sending these out since
the numbers are better

567 cycles/emulated jump instruction
718 cycles/emulated move instruction
730 cycles/emulated arithmetic instruction
946 cycles/emulated memory load instruction
956 cycles/emulated memory store instruction
921 cycles/emulated memory RMW instruction

Old realmode.flat numbers from init ctxt changes -
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/16/848

639 cycles/emulated jump instruction (4.3%)
776 cycles/emulated move instruction (7.5%)
791 cycles/emulated arithmetic instruction (11%)
943 cycles/emulated memory load instruction (5.2%)
948 cycles/emulated memory store instruction (7.6%)
929 cycles/emulated memory RMW instruction (9.0%)

Bandan Das (3):
KVM: x86: pass ctxt to fetch helper function
KVM: x86: use memory_prepare in fetch helper function
KVM: x86: cache userspace address for faster fetches
