[PATCH 0/7] KVM: x86: Clean up MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BASE code
Posted by Sean Christopherson 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Clean up code related to setting and getting MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BASE.

E.g. it's absurdly difficult to tease out that kvm_set_apic_base() exists
purely to avoid an extra call to kvm_recalculate_apic_map() (which may or
may not be worth the code, but whatever).

Simiarly, it's quite difficult to see that kvm_lapic_set_base() doesn't
do anything useful if the incoming MSR value is the same as the current
value.

Sean Christopherson (7):
  KVM: x86: Short-circuit all kvm_lapic_set_base() if MSR value isn't
    changing
  KVM: x86: Drop superfluous kvm_lapic_set_base() call when setting APIC
    state
  KVM: x86: Get vcpu->arch.apic_base directly and drop
    kvm_get_apic_base()
  KVM: x86: Inline kvm_get_apic_mode() in lapic.h
  KVM: x86: Move kvm_set_apic_base() implementation to lapic.c (from
    x86.c)
  KVM: x86: Rename APIC base setters to better capture their
    relationship
  KVM: x86: Make kvm_recalculate_apic_map() local to lapic.c
