[patch 1/7] x86/kvm: Move context tracking where it belongs

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue May 19 2020 - 17:13:35 EST



Context tracking for KVM happens way too early in the vcpu_run()
code. Anything after guest_enter_irqoff() and before guest_exit_irqoff()
cannot use RCU and should also be not instrumented.

The current way of doing this covers way too much code. Move it closer to
the actual vmenter/exit code.
