Just like we do for WFE trapping, it can be useful to turn off WFI trapping when the physical CPU is not oversubscribed (that is, the vcpu is the only runnable process on this CPU) *and* that we're using direct injection of interrupts. The conditions are reevaluated on each vcpu_load(), ensuring that we don't switch to this mode on a busy system. On a GICv4 system, this has the effect of reducing the generation of doorbell interrupts to zero when the right conditions are met, which is a huge improvement over the current situation (where the doorbells are screaming if the CPU ever hits a blocking WFI).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
