The main focus of this series is moving common exit handlers to x86.c, to avoid duplicate code between SVM and VMX, and also to help prevent silly divergences between SVM and VMX. Except for patch 03, which is absolutely grotesque, the changes are relatively small. To allow wiring up the common handlers directly to SVM's exit handler array, patch 03 changes the prototype for SVM's handlers to take @vcpu instead of @svm. That created a cascade effect where many helpers were doing pointless conversions from vcpu->svm->vcpu, and cleaning up those snowballed into a broader purging of svm->vcpu. There are still quite a few instances of svm->vcpu, but the ones remaining are at least reasonable. E.g. patterns like this were fairly common (though this was the most egregious). static bool svm_get_nmi_mask(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) { struct vcpu_svm *svm = to_svm(vcpu); return !!(svm->vcpu.arch.hflags & HF_NMI_MASK); } static void svm_set_nmi_mask(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, bool masked) { struct vcpu_svm *svm = to_svm(vcpu); if (masked) { svm->vcpu.arch.hflags |= HF_NMI_MASK; if (!sev_es_guest(svm->vcpu.kvm)) svm_set_intercept(svm, INTERCEPT_IRET); } else { svm->vcpu.arch.hflags &= ~HF_NMI_MASK; if (!sev_es_guest(svm->vcpu.kvm)) svm_clr_intercept(svm, INTERCEPT_IRET); } } This is based on kvm/queue, commit 4edbfa87f4f4 ("KVM: X86: Expose bus lock debug exception to guest"). It should also apply fairly cleanly on kvm/nested-svm, commit f8a5f661936a ("KVM: nSVM: Trace VM-Enter consistency check failures"). Paolo, I based this on kvm/queue under the assumption it can all wait until 5.13. I don't think there's anything urgent here, and the conflicts with the stuff in kvm/nested-svm are annoying. Let me know if you want me to rebase anything/all to get something into 5.12, I know 5.12 is a little light on x86 changes :-D.
