Clean up code related to setting and getting MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BASE. E.g. it's absurdly difficult to tease out that kvm_set_apic_base() exists purely to avoid an extra call to kvm_recalculate_apic_map() (which may or may not be worth the code, but whatever). Simiarly, it's quite difficult to see that kvm_lapic_set_base() doesn't do anything useful if the incoming MSR value is the same as the current value. v2: - Collect reviews. [Kai, Paolo] - Add a comment in kvm_lapic_reset() to explain its usage of the inner __kvm_apic_set_base() helper. [Paolo] - Unpack "struct msr_data" before calling kvm_apic_set_base(), e.g. so that __set_sregs_common() doesn't half-fill a structure and rely on kvm_apic_set_base() to ignore "index". [Kai] - Tack on a patch to short circuit all of kvm_apic_set_base() when the MSR isn't changing, to avoid the rare slow path of triggering an APIC map recalc due to some other task marking the map dirty. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241009181742.1128779-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx Sean Christopherson (9): KVM: x86: Short-circuit all kvm_lapic_set_base() if MSR value isn't changing KVM: x86: Drop superfluous kvm_lapic_set_base() call when setting APIC state KVM: x86: Get vcpu->arch.apic_base directly and drop kvm_get_apic_base() KVM: x86: Inline kvm_get_apic_mode() in lapic.h KVM: x86: Move kvm_set_apic_base() implementation to lapic.c (from x86.c) KVM: x86: Rename APIC base setters to better capture their relationship KVM: x86: Make kvm_recalculate_apic_map() local to lapic.c KVM: x86: Unpack msr_data structure prior to calling kvm_apic_set_base() KVM: x86: Short-circuit all of kvm_apic_set_base() if MSR value is unchanged arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- arch/x86/kvm/lapic.h | 11 ++++++----- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 45 +++++--------------------------------------- 3 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-) base-commit: e466901b947d529f7b091a3b00b19d2bdee206ee -- 2.47.0.163.g1226f6d8fa-goog
