[PATCH 1/3] arm64: KVM: Move CPU ID reg trap setup off the world switch path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The HCR_EL2.TID3 flag needs to be set when trapping guest access to
the CPU ID registers is required.  However, the decision about
whether to set this bit does not need to be repeated at every
switch to the guest.

Instead, it's sufficient to make this decision once and record the
outcome.

This patch moves the decision to vcpu_reset_hcr() and records the
choice made in vcpu->arch.hcr_el2.  The world switch code can then
load this directly when switching to the guest without the need for
conditional logic on the critical path.

Note to maintainers: this was discussed on-list [1] prior to the merge
window, but this patch implementing the agreed decision hasn't been
posted previously.

This should be considered a fix for v4.15.
