Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: x86: Reg cleanups / prep work for APX
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 15:42:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409224236.2021562-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Clean up KVM's register tracking and storage, primarily to prepare for landing
APX, which expands the maximum number of GPRs from 16 to 32.
v2:
- Call out the RIP is effectively an "EX" reg too (in patch 2). [Paolo]
- Rework the available/dirty APIs to have an explicit "clear" operation
for available, and only a full "reset" for dirty. [Yosry, Paolo]
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260311003346.2626238-1-seanjc@google.com
Sean Christopherson (6):
KVM: x86: Add dedicated storage for guest RIP
KVM: x86: Drop the "EX" part of "EXREG" to avoid collision with APX
KVM: nVMX: Do a bitwise-AND of regs_avail when switching active VMCS
KVM: x86: Add wrapper APIs to reset dirty/available register masks
KVM: x86: Track available/dirty register masks as "unsigned long"
values
KVM: x86: Use a proper bitmap for tracking available/dirty registers
