Subject: [PATCH v5 04/20] KVM: VMX: Refactor VMX instruction information access
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:19:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720171949.498680-5-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720171949.498680-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
Introduce a helper that returns the instruction information as a 64-bit
value and adjust existing sites to prepare for a wider field.
The VMX instruction information field is currently 32 bits. Future
extensions may expand this field to support extended register IDs,
requiring a wider width. The change provides a single access point for
the transition.
No functional change intended.
