Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] KVM: VMX: Disallow using to_vmx() in common VT code
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 18:03:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904010353.3175819-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904010353.3175819-1-seanjc@google.com>

Poison to_vmx() in main.c and posted_intr.c so that attempting to interpret
the vCPU as a VMX vCPU will fail at compile time, as opposed to failing at
runtime, or worse corrupting state without outright failing.

Note, to_tdx() is buried in tdx.c, i.e. isn't broadly reachable, and so
doesn't need the same treatment as to_vmx().
