Subject: [PATCH v2 04/21] KVM: SVM: Clean up preemption toggling related to MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO
Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2023 18:15:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230729011608.1065019-5-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230729011608.1065019-1-seanjc@google.com>

Explicitly disable preemption when writing MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO only in the
"outer" helper, as all direct callers of the "inner" helper now run with
preemption already disabled.  And that isn't a coincidence, as the outer
helper requires a vCPU and is intended to be used when modifying guest
state and/or emulating guest instructions, which are typically done with
preemption enabled.

Direct use of the inner helper should be extremely limited, as the only
time KVM should modify MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO without a vCPU is when
sanitizing the MSR for a specific pCPU (currently done when {en,dis}abling
disabling SVM). The other direct caller is svm_prepare_switch_to_guest(),
which does have a vCPU, but is a one-off special case: KVM is about to
enter the guest on a specific pCPU and thus must have preemption disabled.
