[PATCH v2 01/11] KVM: nSVM: don't sync back tlb_ctl on nested VM exit

From: Maxim Levitsky
Date: Tue Nov 29 2022 - 14:44:08 EST


The CPU doesn't change TLB_CTL value as stated in the PRM (15.16.2):

"The VMRUN instruction reads, but does not change, the
value of the TLB_CONTROL field"

Therefore the KVM shouldn't do that either.
