[PATCH 3/3] KVM: VMX: simplify MSR interception enable/disable

From: Dongli Zhang
Date: Fri Feb 16 2024 - 20:46:44 EST


Currently, the is_valid_passthrough_msr() is only called by two sites:
vmx_enable_intercept_for_msr() and vmx_disable_intercept_for_msr(). The
is_valid_passthrough_msr() is called for two reasons.

1. Do WARN() if the input msr is neither x2APIC/PT/LBR passthrough MSRs,
nor the possible passthrough MSRs.

2. Return if the msr is a possible passthrough MSR.

While the is_valid_passthrough_msr() may traverse the
vmx_possible_passthrough_msrs[], the following
possible_passthrough_msr_slot() may traverse the save array again. There
is no need to call possible_passthrough_msr_slot() twice.

vmx_disable_intercept_for_msr()
-> is_valid_passthrough_msr()
-> possible_passthrough_msr_slot()
-> possible_passthrough_msr_slot()

Therefore, we merge the is_valid_passthrough_msr() and the following
possible_passthrough_msr_slot() into the same function:

- If the msr is not any passthrough MSR, WARN and return -ENOENT.
- Return VMX_OTHER_PASSTHROUGH if x2apic/PT/LBR.
- Return VMX_POSSIBLE_PASSTHROUGH and set possible_idx, if possible
passthrough MSRs.
