[PATCH v2] KVM: vmx: update sec exec controls for UMIP iff emulating UMIP

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

 



Update SECONDARY_EXEC_DESC for UMIP emulation if and only UMIP
is actually being emulated.  Skipping the VMCS update eliminates
unnecessary VMREAD/VMWRITE when UMIP is supported in hardware,
and on platforms that don't have SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL.  The
latter case resolves a bug where KVM would fill the kernel log
with warnings due to failed VMWRITEs on older platforms.

v2: Fix the bug simply by skipping VMCS updates when UMIP is not
    being emulated, as suggested by Paolo and again by Radim.
    The approach of updating the VMCS only when CR4.UMIP changed
    was not guaranteed to work in all cases.  Optimizing away
    VMREAD/VMWRITE will be tackled in a separate series.
