[PATCH v3 22/22] kvm: x86: Disable interception for IA32_XFD on demand

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

 



Always intercepting IA32_XFD causes non-negligible overhead when this
register is updated frequently in the guest.

Disable r/w emulation after intercepting the first WRMSR(IA32_XFD)
with a non-zero value.

Disable WRMSR emulation implies that IA32_XFD becomes out-of-sync
with the software states in fpstate and the per-cpu xfd cache. Call
fpu_sync_guest_vmexit_xfd_state() to bring them back in-sync, before
preemption is enabled.

p.s. We have confirmed that SDM is being revised to say that
when setting IA32_XFD[18] the AMX register state is not guaranteed
to be preserved. This clarification avoids adding mess for a creative
guest which sets IA32_XFD[18]=1 before saving active AMX state to
its own storage.
