Subject: [PATCH] KVM: emulator: drop unneeded call to get_segment()
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:49:42 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120725124942.GN26120@redhat.com> (raw)
setup_syscalls_segments() calls get_segment() and than overwrites all
but one of the structure fields and this one should also be overwritten
anyway, so we can drop call to get_segment() and avoid a couple of vmreads
on vmx. Also drop zeroing ss/cs structures since most of the fields are
set anyway. Just set those that were not set explicitly.
