Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 07/20] KVM: nVMX: Support the extended instruction info field
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 18:01:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110180131.28264-8-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110180131.28264-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
Define the VMCS field offset for the extended instruction information and
handle it for nested VMX.
When EGPRs are available, VMX provides a new 64-bit field to extend the
legacy instruction information, allowing access to the higher register
indices. Then, nested VMX needs to propagate this field between L1 and
L2.
The EGPR checker will be implemented later.
Signed-off-by: Chang S. Bae <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
---
RFC note:
During the draft, I brought up the offset definition initially for
non-nested VMX primarily. Then, I realized the switching helper affects
nVMX code anyway. Due to this dependency, this change is placed first
together with the offset definition.
