Subject: [PATCH v2 09/16] KVM: emulate: Support EGPR accessing and tracking
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 23:54:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112235408.168200-10-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112235408.168200-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
Extend the emulator context and GPR accessors to handle EGPRs before
adding support for REX2-prefixed instructions.
Now the KVM GPR accessors can handle EGPRs. Then, the emulator can
uniformly cache and track all GPRs without requiring separate handling.
