Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Remove redundant vm_entry_controls_clearbit() call
Date:   Thu, 10 Mar 2022 19:13:54 +0800
Message-Id: <20220310111354.504565-1-zhenzhong.duan@intel.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

When emulating exit from long mode, EFER_LMA is cleared which lead to
efer writing emulation, which will unset VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE control
bit as requested by SDM. So no need to unset VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE again
in exit_lmode() explicitly.

In fact benefited from shadow controls mechanism, this change doesn't
eliminate vmread or vmwrite.

Opportunistically remove unnecessory assignment to uret MSR data field
as vmx_setup_uret_msrs() will do the same thing.

In case EFER isn't supported by hardware, long mode isn't supported,
so this will no break.
