All commits applied either clean or with only minor changes needed to account for missing prerequisite patches, e.g. the lack of a kvm_is_cr0_bit_set() helper for patch 5 or the slightly different surrounding context in patch 4 (__always_inline vs. plain inline for to_kvm_vmx()). I used 'ssdd 10 50000' from rt-tests[2] as a micro-benchmark, running on a grsecurity L1 VM. Below table shows the results (runtime in seconds, lower is better): legacy TDP shadow Linux v6.2.10 7.61s 7.98s 68.6s + patches 3.37s 3.41s 70.2s The KVM unit test suite showed no regressions. Please consider applying.On our end waiting for ack from the KVM maintainers.
