This patch adds the support for pause filtering threshold. This feature support is indicated by CPUID Fn8000_000A_EDX. See AMD APM Vol 2 Section 15.14.4 Pause Intercept Filtering for more details. In this mode, a 16-bit pause filter threshold field is added in VMCB. The threshold value is a cycle count that is used to reset the pause counter. As with simple pause filtering, VMRUN loads the pause count value from VMCB into an internal counter. Then, on each pause instruction the hardware checks the elapsed number of cycles since the most recent pause instruction against the pause Filter Threshold. If the elapsed cycle count is greater than the pause filter threshold, then the internal pause count is reloaded from VMCB and execution continues. If the elapsed cycle count is less than the pause filter threshold, then the internal pause count is decremented. If the count value is less than zero and pause intercept is enabled, a #VMEXIT is triggered. If advanced pause filtering is supported and pause filter threshold field is set to zero, the filter will operate in the simpler, count only mode.

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.
