[PATCH 07/18] KVM: x86: Unconditionally grab data from EDX:EAX in WRMSR fastpath

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Always grab EDX:EAX in the WRMSR fastpath to deduplicate and simplify the
case statements, and to prepare for handling immediate variants of WRMSRNS
in the fastpath (the data register is explicitly provided in that case).
There's no harm in reading the registers, as their values are always
available, i.e. don't require VMREADs (or similarly slow operations).

No real functional change intended.
