Sean Christopherson 86e3e494fe KVM: VMX: Move uret MSR lookup into update_transition_efer()
Move checking for the existence of MSR_EFER in the uret MSR array into
update_transition_efer() so that the lookup and manipulation of the
array in setup_msrs() occur back-to-back.  This paves the way toward
adding a helper to wrap the lookup and manipulation.

To avoid unnecessary overhead, defer the lookup until the uret array
would actually be modified in update_transition_efer().  EFER obviously
exists on CPUs that support the dedicated VMCS fields for switching
EFER, and EFER must exist for the guest and host EFER.NX value to
diverge, i.e. there is no danger of attempting to read/write EFER when
it doesn't exist.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
