Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: Skip zeroing of MPX state on reset event
Date: Mon,  9 Dec 2019 12:19:32 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191209201932.14259-3-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191209201932.14259-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>

Don't bother zeroing out MPX state in the guest's FPU on a reset event,
the guest's FPU is always zero allocated and there is no path between
kvm_arch_vcpu_create() and kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() that can lead to guest
MPX state being modified.

No functional change intended.
