[PATCH v4 3/6] KVM: x86: Rework kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_pre_run() into .vcpu_needs_initialization()

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 20:55:42 EST


Rework .vcpu_pre_run() into a more specific .vcpu_needs_initialization() to
consolidate the SNP and TDX control flows, and to eliminate the potentially
confusing almost-collision between svm_vcpu_pre_run() and pre_sev_run(): the
former is SEV specific, but is pre-KVM_RUN, whereas the latter is pre-VMRUN.
