Subject: [PATCH v8 2/8] KVM: x86: Move PML page to common vcpu arch structure
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 06:39:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907063906.1964557-3-nikunj@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907063906.1964557-1-nikunj@amd.com>
Move the PML page pointer from VMX-specific vcpu_vmx structure to the
common kvm_vcpu_arch structure to enable sharing between VMX and SVM
implementations. Only the page pointer is moved to x86 common code while
keeping allocation logic vendor-specific, since AMD requires
snp_safe_alloc_page() for PML buffer allocation.
Update all VMX references accordingly.
No functional change, restructuring to prepare for SVM PML support.
