As Chao pointed out, this does not belong in the LAM series. And
FWIW, I highly
recommend NOT tagging things as Trivial. If you're wrong and the
patch _isn't_
trivial, it only slows things down. And if you're right, then
expediting the
patch can't possibly be necessary.

pcid_enabled is used only once. You can drop it, i.e.,
if (kvm_read_cr4_bits(vcpu, X86_CR4_PCIDE)) {
Emm, that's actually another point.
Though I won't object so, wouldn't this be compiler optimized?
And my point was: honor bool type, though in C implemention it's 0 and
!0, it has its own type value: true, false.
Implicit type casting always isn't good habit.
I don't disagree, but I also don't particularly want to "fix" one
case while
ignoring the many others, e.g. kvm_handle_invpcid() has the exact
same "buggy"
pattern.
I would be supportive of a patch that adds helpers and then converts
all of the
relevant CR0/CR4 checks though...
Hi Sean, I can cook a patch by your suggesion and sent out the patch
seperately.
Sean, besides the call of kvm_read_cr0_bits() and kvm_read_cr4_bits(),
there are also a lot checks in if statement like
if ( cr4 & X86_CR4_XXX )
or
if ( cr0 & X86_CR0_XXX )
I suppose these usages are OK, right?
