Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/3] x86/kvm/vmx: avoid expensive rdmsr for MSR_GS_BASE
Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2018 11:55:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180302105503.24428-4-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180302105503.24428-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>
vmx_save_host_state() is only called from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() so
the context is pretty well defined and as we're past 'swapgs' MSR_GS_BASE
should contain kernel's GS base which we point to irq_stack_union.
irq_stack_union needs to be exported as KVM can be a module.
