Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: call invvpid only when EPT is disabled
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 02:44:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331775884.20336.2.camel@offbook> (raw)
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@gnu.org>
With EPT enabled it is not required to explicitly run invvpid to invalidate tagged TLB entries, as
KVM does not force vm-exits for cr3 writes and invlpg. Run invvpid only when these instructions
are emulated and shadow pages are used.
