[PATCH v3 0/2] Keep cr3 cached in VMCS

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

 



This patchset keeps cr3 cached in the VMCS (GUEST_CR3) instead of syncing
it every exit.  Saves a VMREAD/VMWRITE on Intel with EPT enabled.

Avi Kivity (2):
  KVM: Replace reads of vcpu->arch.cr3 by an accessor
  KVM: Fetch guest cr3 from hardware on demand
    v3: mark cr3 as available when we write it
        remove misleading comment in vmx_decache_cr3()
    v2: fix ept identity pagetable leak into guest cr3
