Author: mav Date: Mon Mar 30 07:11:49 2015 New Revision: 280839 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/280839 Log: MFC r280134: Report ARAT (APIC-Timer-always-running) feature for virtual CPU. This makes FreeBSD guest to not avoid using LAPIC timer, preferring HPET due to worries about non-existing for virtual CPUs deep sleep states. Benchmarks of usleep(1) on guest and host show such extra latencies: - 51us for virtual HPET, - 22us for virtual LAPIC timer, - 22us for host HPET and - 3us for host LAPIC timer.
