Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 0/5] LBR virtualization fixes
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 23:39:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251120233936.2407119-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025112046-confider-smelting-6296@gregkh>

This is a backport of LBR virtualization fixes that recently landed in
Linus's tree to 6.12.y.

Patch 1 is not a backport, it's introducing a helper that exists in
Linus's tree to make the following backports more straightforward to
apply.

Patch 2 should already be in queue-6.12, but it's included here as the
remaining patches depend on it.

Yosry Ahmed (5):
  KVM: SVM: Introduce svm_recalc_lbr_msr_intercepts()
  KVM: SVM: Mark VMCB_LBR dirty when MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is updated
  KVM: nSVM: Always recalculate LBR MSR intercepts in svm_update_lbrv()
  KVM: nSVM: Fix and simplify LBR virtualization handling with nested
  KVM: SVM: Fix redundant updates of LBR MSR intercepts
