Subject: [PATCH v6 03/16] KVM: nSVM: Move VMRUN instruction retirement after entering guest mode
Date: Wed,  6 May 2026 01:57:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506015733.1671124-4-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506015733.1671124-1-yosry@kernel.org>

A successful VMRUN retires in guest mode and should be counted by the
PMU as a guest instruction. However, __kvm_skip_emulated_instruction()
is called before entering guest mode to advance L1's RIP to the
instruction following VMRUN. This is needed as the RIP is saved in
vmcb01 to be restored on VM-Exit.

Since VMRUN emulation is the only caller of
__kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(), move retiring instructions for PMU
purposes to its wrapper, leaving __kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() as a
transparent wrapper around the vendor-specific calls.

Note that this is currently a noop because KVM does not virtualize
Host-Only/Guest-Only PMC controls yet, so all instructions are counted
regardless of the vCPU's host/guest state. But this change is needed for
the incoming support for Host-Only/Guest-Only controls to count VMRUN
correctly.
