Subject: [PATCH v6 01/20] KVM: VMX: Add support for the secondary VM exit controls
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:36:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821223630.984383-2-xin@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250821223630.984383-1-xin@zytor.com>
From: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>
Always load the secondary VM exit controls to prepare for FRED enabling.

Change in v5:
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Changes in v4:
* Fix clearing VM_EXIT_ACTIVATE_SECONDARY_CONTROLS (Chao Gao).
* Check VM exit/entry consistency based on the new macro from Sean
Christopherson.
Change in v3:
* Do FRED controls consistency checks in the VM exit/entry consistency
check framework (Sean Christopherson).
Change in v2:
* Always load the secondary VM exit controls (Sean Christopherson).
