Hi Srikar,
Benchmarked this patch on baremetal POWER9 node by launching KVM to
observe the improvements achieved in KVM with the patched kernel.
Below, you can find the schbench latency result comparision.

Can we mention that a big core consist of two small cores. and w.r.t
linux a core is at small core. Hence there is mi
PowerVM Hypervisor dispatches on a whole core basis. In a shared LPAR, a
CPU from a core that is preempted may have a larger latency. In
such a scenario, its preferable to choose a different CPU to run.
If one of the CPUs in the core is active, i.e neither CEDED nor
preempted, then consider this C
