Subject: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH v3 01/20] x86/vmx: Drop unused SYSENTER "support" in nested VMX infrastructure
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 14:04:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514210500.1626871-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514210500.1626871-1-seanjc@google.com>
Drop the unused SYSTENTER "support" from the nested VMX infrastructure, in
quotes because the code is half-baked (and that's being generous) and
likely has never been used.
Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
