[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: x86: MSR filtering and related fixes

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

 



Rework the MSR filtering implementation to treat a given filter instance
as an atomic unit, and to properly protect it with SRCU.

Fix two nVMX bugs related to MSR filtering (one directly, one indirectly),
and additional cleanup on top.

Regarding the macro insanity in patch 03, I verified the before and after
binary output for vmx_set_intercept_for_msr() was identical, again.  This
required wrapping "if (msr <= 0x1fff)" with (un)likely in both the before
and after versions; gcc made seemingly random choices without forcing it
to favor a specific branch.

v2:
  - Collect R-b. [Paolo, Alex].
  - Make the macro insanity slightly less insane. [Paolo]
