Also, rebased to the current kvm/queue. Original description: Currently, when we switch from L1 to L2 (VMX) we do the following: - Re-initialize L1 MMU as shadow EPT MMU (nested_ept_init_mmu_context()) - Re-initialize 'nested' MMU (nested_vmx_load_cr3() -> init_kvm_nested_mmu()) When we switch back we do: - Re-initialize L1 MMU (nested_vmx_load_cr3() -> init_kvm_tdp_mmu()) This seems to be sub-optimal. Initializing MMU is expensive (thanks to update_permission_bitmask(), update_pkru_bitmask(),..) Try solving the issue by splitting L1-normal and L1-nested MMUs and checking if MMU reset is really needed. This spares us about 1000 cpu cycles on nested vmexit. Brief look at SVM makes me think it can be optimized the exact same way, I'll do this in a separate series.
