kvm: x86: Use fast CR3 switch for nested VMX
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Use the fast CR3 switch mechanism to locklessly change the MMU root
page when switching between L1 and L2. The switch from L2 to L1 should
always go through the fast path, while the switch from L1 to L2 should
go through the fast path if L1's CR3/EPTP for L2 hasn't changed
since the last time.
