I don't think renaming local variable is needed, let's just do

'u16 exit_reason = basic_exit_reason(vmx->exit_reason)' and keep the
rest of the code as-is.

No, we can't do this.

It's not just renaming local variable, the full 32-bit exit reason is
used elsewhere in this function that needs the upper 16-bit.

Here variable basic_exit_reason is added for the cases where only basic
exit reason number is needed.


Can we do the other way around, i.e. introduce 'extended_exit_reason'
and use it where all 32 bits are needed? I'm fine with the change, just
trying to minimize the (unneeded) code churn.

100% agree.  Even better than adding a second field to vcpu_vmx would be
to make it a union, though we'd probably want to call it something like
full_exit_reason in that case.  That should give us compile-time checks on
exit_reason, e.g. if we try to query one of the upper bits using a u16, e.g.

I have thought about union, but it seems

union {
	u16 exit_reason;
	u32 full_exit_reason;
}

is not a good name. Since there are many codes in vmx.c and nested.c assume that exit_reason stands for 32-bit EXIT REASON vmcs field as well as evmcs->vm_exit_reason and vmcs12->vm_exit_reason. Do we really want to also rename them to full_exit_reason?

Maybe we name it

union {
	u16 basic_exit_reason;
	u32 exit_reason;
}

as what SDM defines?
