Subject: [PATCH v4 2/5] KVM: nSVM: Disable LBRV in nested control cache when unsupported
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 05:05:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721050600.87268-3-shivansh.dhiman@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721050600.87268-1-shivansh.dhiman@amd.com>

Clear SVM_MISC2_ENABLE_V_LBR in __nested_copy_vmcb_control_to_cache() when
the vCPU does not support LBR Virtualization. This lets the cached value be
consumed directly instead of re-checking X86_FEATURE_LBRV on every access.

Suggested-by: Yosry Ahmed <yosry@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Shivansh Dhiman <shivansh.dhiman@amd.com>
---
Changelog:
v3 -> v4:
 * Drop the redundant !lbrv check and the extra comment (Yosry).

v3:
 * New patch.
 * Sanitize V_LBR in the cache and drop the redundant X86_FEATURE_LBRV
   checks (Yosry Ahmed).
