From e5314067f6a77688a3d36548e7618430ce4a6236 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2007 16:32:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Avoid exit when setting cr8 if the local apic is in the kernel With apic in userspace, we must exit to userspace after a cr8 write in order to update the tpr. But if the apic is in the kernel, the exit is unnecessary. Noticed by Joerg Roedel.
