Subject: [RESEND v13 07/10] KVM: vmx/pmu: Reduce the overhead of LBR pass-through or cancellation
Date: Fri,  8 Jan 2021 09:37:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210108013704.134985-8-like.xu@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210108013704.134985-1-like.xu@linux.intel.com>

When the LBR records msrs has already been pass-through, there is no
need to call vmx_update_intercept_for_lbr_msrs() again and again, and
vice versa.
