Subject: [PATCH 0/5] KVM: VMX: Add caching of EXIT_QUAL and INTR_INFO
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:34:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200415203454.8296-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)
Patches 4-5 are the focus of this series, adding caching of
vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION and proper caching of vmcs.INTR_INFO (instead of
caching it with ad hoc rules about when it's available). Patches 1-3
are prep work to clean up the register caching to ensure correctness when
switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.
The idea for this came about when working on the "unionize exit_reason"
series. The nested VM-Exit logic looks at both fields multiple times,
which is ok-ish when everything is crammed into one or two functions, but
incurs multiple VMREADs when split up. I really didn't want to solve that
issue by piling on more cases where vmx->exit_intr_info would be valid, or
by duplicating that fragile pattern for exit_qualification.
Paolo, this will conflict with the "unionize exit_reason" series, though
the conflict resolution is all mechnical in nature. Let me know if you
want me to respin one on top of the other, send a single series, etc...
