The linux kernel recently added support for paravirtual spinlock handling to avoid performance regressions on overcomitted hosts. This feature needs to be turned in the hypervisor so that the guest OS is notified about the possible support. This patch adds a new feature "paravirt-spinlock" to the XML and supporting code to enable the "kvm_pv_unhalt" pseudo CPU feature in qemu. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1008989
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
