Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] KVM: x86: Consolidate CPUID fault handling for emulator and interception logic
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 15:46:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513224608.1859737-2-jmattson@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513224608.1859737-1-jmattson@google.com>
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Extract the logic for emulating CPUID faulting (where CPUID #GPs at CPL>0
outside of SMM) into a dedicated helper and use the helper for both the
full emulator and the intercepted-CPUID paths.
Opportunistically drop kvm_require_cpl(), as kvm_require_cpl() was the one
and only user.
No functional change intended.
