Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] kvm, vmx: move CR2 context switch out of assembly path
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2018 16:40:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <74fa3809ea293cc05d37b1449b16e08480c4ddbd.1540822350.git.jsteckli@amazon.de> (raw)

The VM entry/exit path is a giant inline assembly statement. Simplify it
by doing CR2 context switching in plain C. Move CR2 restore behind IBRS
clearing, so we reduce the amount of code we execute with IBRS on.
