Subject: [PATCH v7 07/20] KVM: VMX: Refactor register index retrieval from exit qualification
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 02:17:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902021804.718676-8-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902021804.718676-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
Introduce a helper to extract the register index from the VMX exit
qualification field.
In addition to the VMX instruction information field, exit qualification
also encodes a register index. This field will expand into the previously
reserved bit for extended register IDs. This refactoring will simplify
the extended register handling without code duplication.
No functional change intended.
