Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 03/20] KVM: x86: Implement accessors for extended GPRs
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 18:01:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110180131.28264-4-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110180131.28264-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

Add helpers to directly read and write EGPRs (R16–R31).

Unlike legacy GPRs, EGPRs are not cached in vcpu->arch.regs[]. Their
contents remain live in hardware. If preempted, the EGPR state is
preserved in the guest XSAVE buffer.

The Advanced Performance Extentions (APX) feature introduces EGPRs as an
XSAVE-managed state component. The new helpers access the registers
directly between kvm_fpu_get() and kvm_fpu_put().

Callers should ensure that EGPRs are enabled before using these helpers.

Signed-off-by: Chang S. Bae <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
---
RFC note:
There may be alternative options for EGPR access. If the EGPR state is
saved in the guest fpstate, KVM could read or write it there instead.
However, since EGPR-related VM exits are expected to be rare, adding
extra complexity and overhead at this stage doesn’t seem worthwhile.
