[PATCH 4/8] KVM: SVM: Clobber RAX instead of RBX when discarding spec_ctrl_intercepted

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

 



POP @spec_ctrl_intercepted into RAX instead of RBX when discarding it from
the stack so that __svm_sev_es_vcpu_run() doesn't modify any non-volatile
registers.  __svm_sev_es_vcpu_run() doesn't return a value, and RAX is
already are clobbered multiple times in the #VMEXIT path.

This will allowing using the host save area to save/restore non-volatile
registers in __svm_sev_es_vcpu_run().
