Subject: [PATCH v4 06/21] x86/fpu: Ignore APX when copying from/to guest FPU
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 01:14:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512011502.53072-7-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512011502.53072-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
KVM will store APX extended GPRs directly in the regs[] field of struct
kvm_vcpu. This is done to make accessors more uniform between GPRs and
EGPRs, and partly because x86 maintainers expressed the desire to compile
Linux with APX enabled sooner or later; accessing guest EGPRs from KVM's
C code would get in the way.
Therefore, let KVM handle the APX feature on its own when executing
ioctls to get and set the virtual machine's XSAVE state.
