Enlightened VMCS is just a structure in memory, the main benefit besides avoiding somewhat slower VMREAD/VMWRITE is using clean field mask: we tell the underlying hypervisor which fields were modified since VMEXIT so there's no need to inspect them all. Tight CPUID loop test shows significant speedup: Before: 18890 cycles After: 8304 cycles Static key is being used to avoid performance penalty for non-Hyper-V deployments.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
