KVM: emulate: avoid repeated calls to do_insn_fetch_bytes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
do_insn_fetch_bytes will only be called once in a given insn_fetch and
insn_fetch_arr, because in fact it will only be called at most twice
for any instruction and the first call is explicit in x86_decode_insn.
This observation lets us hoist the call out of the memory copying loop.
It does not buy performance, because most fetches are one byte long
anyway, but it prepares for the next patch.

The overflow check is tricky, but correct.  Because do_insn_fetch_bytes
has already been called once, we know that fc->end is at least 15.  So
it is okay to subtract the number of bytes we want to read.
