# libvirt qemu hook: keep host processes off the cores a pinned guest is using.
#
# Install as /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu (or drop into /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu.d/).
#
# On start it reads the domain's own <cputune> from the XML libvirt passes on
# stdin, works out which host CPUs the guest occupies, and confines the systemd
# slices to the rest. On stop it hands everything back.
#
# Measured on a 16 vCPU guest pinned to one CCD of a 7950X: stalls over 10 us in
# a 10 second window fell from ~100 to ~52, and CPU throughput rose about 2%.
#
# Deliberately exits 0 on every path. libvirt treats a non-zero hook exit during
# prepare/start as fatal, and a tuning helper must never stop a VM booting.
