[PATCH v2 2/4] x86/shadow: Introduce sh_trace_gl1e_va()
Posted by Andrew Cooper 6 months ago
trace_shadow_fixup() and trace_not_shadow_fault() both write out identical
trace records.  Reimplement them in terms of a common sh_trace_gl1e_va().

There's no need to pack the trace record, even in the case of PAE paging.

No functional change.

Isn't this altering the generated trace record for the 4-level case, in
size changing from 20 to 24 bytes?

Unlike in patch 1, it's less clear here whether leaving the tb_init_done
check is actually better to keep where it is. In principle the compiler
should be able to re-arrange code enough to make it identical no matter
which way it's written, at which point it might again be more desirable
to have the check solely in sh_trace().

Oh, eww.  Yes it does.

I'll need to rework with __packed still in place.
