Subject: [PATCH 05/10] KVM: SVM: Drop vcpu_svm's pointless avic_backing_page field
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2023 14:35:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230815213533.548732-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230815213533.548732-1-seanjc@google.com>

Drop vcpu_svm's avic_backing_page pointer and instead grab the physical
address of KVM's vAPIC page directly from the source.  Getting a physical
address from a kernel virtual address is not an expensive operation, and
getting the physical address from a struct page is *more* expensive for
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y kernels.  Regardless, none of the paths that consume
the address are hot paths, i.e. shaving cycles is not a priority.

Eliminating the "cache" means KVM doesn't have to worry about the cache
being invalid, which will simplify a future fix when dealing with vCPU IDs
that are too big.
