[PATCH v3 15/18] kvm: x86: Skip shadow page resync on CR3 switch when indicated by guest

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

 



When the guest indicates that the TLB doesn't need to be flushed in a
CR3 switch, we can also skip resyncing the shadow page tables since an
out-of-sync shadow page table is equivalent to an out-of-sync TLB.
