[RFC PATCH v2 18/32] kvm: svm: Use the hardware provided GPA instead of page walk

From: Brijesh Singh
Date: Thu Mar 02 2017 - 10:54:52 EST


From: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@xxxxxxx>

When a guest causes a NPF which requires emulation, KVM sometimes walks
the guest page tables to translate the GVA to a GPA. This is unnecessary
most of the time on AMD hardware since the hardware provides the GPA in
EXITINFO2.

The only exception cases involve string operations involving rep or
operations that use two memory locations. With rep, the GPA will only be
the value of the initial NPF and with dual memory locations we won't know
which memory address was translated into EXITINFO2.
