[PATCH v1 RESEND 7/9] x86/kvm/nVMX: introduce scache for kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu

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

 



MMU re-initialization is expensive, in particular,
update_permission_bitmask() and update_pkru_bitmask() are.

Cache the data used to setup shadow EPT MMU and avoid full re-init when
it is unchanged.
