From db7d8e476821df85dce0cfd1e654c72c7db879dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 14:03:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Export x2apic_mode for use by KVM in "warm" path Export x2apic_mode so that KVM can query whether x2APIC is active without having to incur the RDMSR in x2apic_enabled(). When Posted Interrupts are in use for a guest with an assigned device, KVM ends up checking for x2APIC at least once every time a vCPU halts. KVM could obviously snapshot x2apic_enabled() to avoid the RDMSR, but that's rather silly given that x2apic_mode holds the exact info needed by KVM.
