Subject: x86/speculation: Use cached host SPEC_CTRL value for guest entry/exit
To: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Cc: <surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx>, <sjitindarsingh@xxxxxxxxx>, <cascardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>, <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>, <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <x86@xxxxxxxxxx>
Message-ID: <20221027205523.17741-3-surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx>
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit bbb69e8bee1bd882784947095ffb2bfe0f7c9470 upstream.
There's no need to recalculate the host value for every entry/exit.
Just use the cached value in spec_ctrl_current().
