Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] KVM: x86: Use a proper bitmap for tracking available/dirty registers
Date: Thu,  9 Apr 2026 15:42:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409224236.2021562-7-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409224236.2021562-1-seanjc@google.com>

Define regs_{avail,dirty} as bitmaps instead of U32s to harden against
overflow, and to allow for dynamically sizing the bitmaps when APX comes
along, which will add 16 more GPRs (R16-R31) and thus increase the total
number of registers beyond 32.

Open code writes in the "reset" APIs, as the writes are hot paths and
bitmap_write() is complete overkill for what KVM needs.  Even better,
hardcoding writes to entry '0' in the array is a perfect excuse to assert
that the array contains exactly one entry, e.g. to effectively add guard
against defining R16-R31 in 32-bit kernels.

For all intents and purposes, no functional change intended even though
using bitmap_fill() will mean "undefined" registers are no longer marked
available and dirty (KVM should never be querying those bits).
