In particular I wonder whether this addition isn't obsoleting SVM's ns_cr0.I am not sure whether ns_cr0 (replaced with nv_guest_cr[0]) would then be updated in paths where it currently is not. For example in nsvm_vmcb_prepare4vmrun(): /* CR0 */ svm->ns_cr0 = v->arch.hvm_vcpu.guest_cr[0]; cr0 = nestedsvm_fpu_vmentry(svm->ns_cr0, ns_vmcb, n1vmcb, n2vmcb); v->arch.hvm_vcpu.guest_cr[0] = ns_vmcb->_cr0; rc = hvm_set_cr0(cr0); <------ nv_guest_cr[0] will get set here.I am not familiar with SVM code. If you think this change may impact thenested SVM. Then I will move the change to VMX specific code. No, it doesn't affect SVM code. I was responding to Jan's suggestion to replace SVM's ns_cr0 with the new guest_cr[0].So is it ok to change the code according Jan's suggestion? No. My point was that there may be unintended consequences to the change and you should leave ns_cr0 alone. -boris _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
