Subject: [PATCH v3 04/20] KVM: x86: Extend VCPU registers for EGPRs
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 05:00:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428050111.39323-5-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428050111.39323-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

Extend the storage to include extended general-purpose registers (EGPRs:
R16-R31) when CONFIG_KVM_APX=y. This option is for VMX only.

Although EGPR state is XSAVE-managed, and thus could be stored in the
guest fpstate, VCPU storage provides a more convenient and efficient
access path for KVM.
