Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] kvm, vmx: move CR2 context switch out of assembly path
Date:   Thu,  1 Nov 2018 14:42:47 +0100
Message-Id: <0b290ddce11ab78951592b9435469cd16773629c.1541079752.git.jsteckli@amazon.de>

Precedence: bulk

The VM entry/exit path is a giant inline assembly statement. Simplify it
by doing CR2 context switching in plain C. Move CR2 restore behind IBRS
clearing, so we reduce the amount of code we execute with IBRS on.

Using {read,write}_cr2() means KVM will use pv_mmu_ops instead of open
coding native_{read,write}_cr2(). The CR2 code has been done in
assembly since KVM's genesis[1], which predates the addition of the
paravirt ops[2], i.e. KVM isn't deliberately avoiding the paravirt
ops.

[2] Commit d3561b7fa0fb ("[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation")
