[PATCH v5 01/30] KVM: x86: Drop kvm_user_return_msr_cpu_online()

From: isaku . yamahata
Date: Thu Sep 22 2022 - 14:21:31 EST


From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>

KVM/X86 uses user return notifier to switch MSR for guest or user space.
Snapshot host values on CPU online, change MSR values for guest, and
restore them on returning to user space. The current code abuses
kvm_arch_hardware_enable() which is called on kvm module initialization or
CPU online.

Remove such the abuse of kvm_arch_hardware_enable() by capturing the host
value on the first change of the MSR value to guest VM instead of CPU
online.
