Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] KVM: SVM: Check for an unexpected VM-Exit after RETPOLINE "fast" handling
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 13:13:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251230211347.4099600-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251230211347.4099600-1-seanjc@google.com>
Check for an unexpected/unhandled VM-Exit after the manual RETPOLINE=y
handling. The entire point of the RETPOLINE checks is to optimize for
common VM-Exits, i.e. checking for the rare case of an unsupported
VM-Exit is counter-productive. This also aligns SVM and VMX exit handling.
No functional change intended.
