Subject: [PATCH v7 01/26] KVM: nSVM: Avoid clearing VMCB_LBR in vmcb12
Date: Tue,  3 Mar 2026 00:33:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303003421.2185681-2-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303003421.2185681-1-yosry@kernel.org>

svm_copy_lbrs() always marks VMCB_LBR dirty in the destination VMCB.
However, nested_svm_vmexit() uses it to copy LBRs to vmcb12, and
clearing clean bits in vmcb12 is not architecturally defined.

Move vmcb_mark_dirty() to callers and drop it for vmcb12.

This also facilitates incoming refactoring that does not pass the entire
VMCB to svm_copy_lbrs().

Fixes: d20c796ca370 ("KVM: x86: nSVM: implement nested LBR virtualization")
