VMCS12 fields that are not handled through shadow VMCS are rarely written, and thus they are also almost constant in the vmcs02. We can thus optimize prepare_vmcs02 by skipping all the work for non-shadowed fields in the common case. This patch introduces the (pretty simple) tracking infrastructure; the next patches will move work to prepare_vmcs02_full and save a few hundred clock cycles per VMRESUME on a Haswell Xeon E5 system: before after cpuid 14159 13869 vmcall 15290 14951 inl_from_kernel 17703 17447 outl_to_kernel 16011 14692 self_ipi_sti_nop 16763 15825 self_ipi_tpr_sti_nop 17341 15935 wr_tsc_adjust_msr 14510 14264 rd_tsc_adjust_msr 15018 14311 mmio-wildcard-eventfd:pci-mem 16381 14947 mmio-datamatch-eventfd:pci-mem 18620 17858 portio-wildcard-eventfd:pci-io 15121 14769 portio-datamatch-eventfd:pci-io 15761 14831 (average savings 748, stdev 460).
