An "else" is needed here to do the opposite setup (removing the "if
(vls)" from init_vmcb).
init_vmcb currently set the INTERCEPT_VMLOAD and INTERCEPT_VMSAVE and it
doesn't enable vls
There's also this towards the end of the function:
/*
* If hardware supports Virtual VMLOAD VMSAVE then enable it
* in VMCB and clear intercepts to avoid #VMEXIT.
*/
if (vls) {
svm_clr_intercept(svm, INTERCEPT_VMLOAD);
svm_clr_intercept(svm, INTERCEPT_VMSAVE);
svm->vmcb->control.virt_ext |=
VIRTUAL_VMLOAD_VMSAVE_ENABLE_MASK;
}
thus there is nothing to do if I don't want to enable vls.
It seems reasonable to me.
Both msrs I marked as '.always = false' in the
'direct_access_msrs', which makes them be intercepted by the default.
If I were to use '.always = true' it would feel a bit wrong as the intercept is
not always
enabled.
I agree that .always = false is correct.
What do you think?
You can set the CPUID multiple times, so you could go from AMD to Intel
and back.
Thanks,
