Hi Marc,
Friendly ping, it is some time since I sent this patch according to your last advice...
Besides, recently we found that the mmio delay on GICv4.1 system is about 10 times higher
than that on GICv4.0 system in kvm-unit-tests (the specific data is as follows). By the
way, HiSilicon GICv4.1 has already been implemented and will be released with our
next-generation server, which is almost the only implementation of GICv4.1 at present.
| GICv4.1 emulator | GICv4.0 emulator
mmio_read_user (ns) | 12811 | 1598
After analysis, this is mainly caused by the 10 us delay in its_wait_vpt_parse_complete()
(the above difference is just about 10 us)...
What's your opinion about this?
Thanks,
Shenming
