Hmmm...not sure what you are getting at here.

Ok, yes, this all makes sense. So I looked at vmx/svm definitions
and I see that there are 5 definitions that are common that
don't use the vmx or svm prefix:

.update_exception_bitmap = update_exception_bitmap,
.enable_nmi_window = enable_nmi_window,
.enable_irq_window = enable_irq_window,
.update_cr8_intercept = update_cr8_intercept,
.enable_smi_window = enable_smi_window,

8 are specific to vmx that don't use the vmx prefix:

.hardware_unsetup = hardware_unsetup,
.hardware_enable = hardware_enable,
.hardware_disable = hardware_disable,
.cpu_has_accelerated_tpr = report_flexpriority,
.dy_apicv_has_pending_interrupt = pi_has_pending_interrupt,
.has_wbinvd_exit = cpu_has_vmx_wbinvd_exit,
.update_pi_irte = pi_update_irte,
.complete_emulated_msr = kvm_complete_insn_gp,

and finally 7 specific to svm that don't use the svm prefix:

.get_cs_db_l_bits = kvm_get_cs_db_l_bits,
.handle_exit = handle_exit,
.skip_emulated_instruction = skip_emulated_instruction,
.update_emulated_instruction = NULL,
.sync_pir_to_irr = kvm_lapic_find_highest_irr,
.apicv_post_state_restore = avic_post_state_restore,
.request_immediate_exit = __kvm_request_immediate_exit,

So we could set all of these to empty definitions and specifically
add the callbacks manually as you suggested. Or we could have 4
categories of macros:

1) KVM_X86_OP() - for the usual case where we have the 'svm' or
'vmx' prefix.

2) KVM_X86_OP_NULL() - for the case where both svm and vmx want
to over-ride.

For the remaining cases I was thinking of having the VMX code
and svm code, add a define for 'VMX' or 'SVM' respectively and
then we could mark the vmx specific ones by adding something like
this to asm/kvm-x86-ops.h:

#ifndef VMX
#define KVM_X86_OP_UNLESS_VMX(func) \
KVM_X86_OP(func)
#else
#define KVM_X86_OP_UNLESS_VMX(func)
#endif

and similarly for the svm specific ones:

#ifndef SVM
#define KVM_X86_OP_UNLESS_SVM(func) \
KVM_X86_OP(func)
#else
#define KVM_X86_OP_UNLESS_SVM(func)
#endif

So in vmx.c you would have:

#define X86_OP(func) .func = vmx_##func,
#define VMX 1
#include "kvm-x86-ops.h"

Or we could just use the KVM_X86_OP_NULL() macro for anything
that doesn't have a 'svm' or 'vmx' prefix as I think you were
suggesting? In that case I think there would then be 13 manual
additions for vmx and 12 for svm.

Thanks,
