Subject: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH v3 11/20] x86/vmx: Track "is this CPU in guest mode" per-CPU
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 14:04:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514210500.1626871-12-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514210500.1626871-1-seanjc@google.com>

Track whether or not a CPU is in a SVM/VMX guest on a per-CPU basis to
play nice with SVM/VMX tests that run multiple vCPUs.  How the VMX tests
in particular managed to survive this long with shared state is nothing
short of amazing.
