[PATCH 01/11] KVM: x86: Redefine 'longmode' as a flag for KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL

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

 



The 'longmode' field is a bit annoying as it blows an entire __u32 to
represent a boolean value. Since other architectures are looking to add
support for KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL, now is probably a good time to clean it
up.

Redefine the field (and the remaining padding) as a set of flags.
Preserve the existing ABI by using the lower 32 bits of the field to
indicate if the guest was in long mode at the time of the hypercall.
