Subject: [PATCH 4/6] KVM: SVM: Switch svm_copy_lbrs() to a macro
Date: Sat,  8 Nov 2025 00:45:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251108004524.1600006-5-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251108004524.1600006-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>

In preparation for using svm_copy_lbrs() with 'struct vmcb_save_area'
without a containing 'struct vmcb', and later even 'struct
vmcb_save_area_cached', make it a macro. Pull the call to
vmcb_mark_dirty() out to the callers.

Macros are generally not preferred compared to functions, mainly due to
type-safety. However, in this case it seems like having a simple macro
copying a few fields is better than copy-pasting the same 5 lines of
code in different places.

On the bright side, pulling vmcb_mark_dirty() calls to the callers makes
it clear that in one case, vmcb_mark_dirty() was being called on VMCB12.
It is not architecturally defined for the CPU to clear arbitrary clean
bits, and it is not needed, so drop that one call.

Technically fixes the non-architectural behavior of setting the dirty
bit on VMCB12.

Fixes: d20c796ca370 ("KVM: x86: nSVM: implement nested LBR virtualization")
