Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nSVM: Optimize L12 to L2 vmcb.save copies
Date: Mon,  1 Mar 2021 15:08:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210301200844.2000-1-cavery@redhat.com> (raw)

Use the vmcb12 control clean field to determine which vmcb12.save
registers were marked dirty in order to minimize register copies
when switching from L1 to L2. Those L12 registers marked as dirty need
to be copied to L2's vmcb as they will be used to update the vmcb
state cache for the L2 VMRUN.  In the case where we have a different
vmcb12 from the last L2 VMRUN all vmcb12.save registers must be
copied over to L2.save.

Tested:
kvm-unit-tests
kvm selftests
Fedora L1 L2
