Ah, right.

And another concern is here getting reg value only specific from vICR(no
other regs need take care), going through whole path on kvm_lapic_reg_read()
could be time-consuming unnecessarily. Is it proper that calling
kvm_lapic_get_reg64() to retrieve vICR value directly?
Hmm, no, I don't think that's proper. Retrieving a 64-bit value really is unique
to vICR. Yes, the code does WARN on that, but if future architectural extensions
even generate APIC-write exits on other registers, then using kvm_lapic_get_reg64()
would be wrong and this code would need to be updated again.
Split on x2apic and WARN on (offset != APIC_ICR) already limit register read to vICR only. Actually
we just need consider to deal with 64bit data specific to vICR in APIC-write exits. From this point of
view, previous design can be compatible on handling other registers even if future architectural
extensions changes. :)

What about tweaking my prep patch from before to the below? That would yield:

if (apic_x2apic_mode(apic)) {
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(offset != APIC_ICR))
return 1;

kvm_lapic_msr_read(apic, offset, &val);

I think it's problematic to use kvm_lapic_msr_read() in this case. It premises the high 32bit value
already valid at APIC_ICR2, while in handling "nodecode" x2APIC writes we need get continuous 64bit
data from offset 300H first and prepare emulation of APIC_ICR2 write. At this time, APIC_ICR2 is not
ready yet.

kvm_lapic_msr_write(apic, offset, val);
} else {
kvm_lapic_reg_read(apic, offset, 4, &val);
kvm_lapic_reg_write(apic, offset, val);
}

I like that the above has "msr" in the low level x2apic helpers, and it maximizes
code reuse. Compile tested only...

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Add helpers to handle 64-bit APIC MSR read/writes

Add helpers to handle 64-bit APIC read/writes via MSRs to deduplicate the
x2APIC and Hyper-V code needed to service reads/writes to ICR. Future
support for IPI virtualization will add yet another path where KVM must
handle 64-bit APIC MSR reads/write (to ICR).

Opportunistically fix the comment in the write path; ICR2 holds the
destination (if there's no shorthand), not the vector.

No functional change intended.
