Subject: [PATCH 06/11] KVM: SVM: switch svm_copy_lbrs() to a macro
Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2025 19:59:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251104195949.3528411-7-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251104195949.3528411-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>
In preparation for using svm_copy_lbrs() with instances of both 'struct
vmcb_save_area' and 'struct vmcb_save_area_cached', make it a macro
instead. Pull the call to vmcb_mark_dirty() out to the callers.
Macros are generally not preferred compared to functions, mainly due to
type-safety. However, in this case it seems like having a simple macro
copying a few fields is better than copy-pasting the same 5 lines of
code in 6 different places (soon to be 7), or creating 3 different
variants of the function.
On the bright side, pulling vmcb_mark_dirty() calls to the callers makes
it clear that in one case, vmcb_mark_dirty() was being called on VMCB12.
It is not architecturally defined for the CPU to clear arbitrary clean
bits, and it is not needed, so drop that one call.
