[PATCH 0/4] KVM: Fold kvm_arch_sched_in() into kvm_arch_vcpu_load()

[Sean Christopherson]

Drop kvm_arch_sched_in() and instead pass a @sched_in boolean to
kvm_arch_vcpu_load().

While fiddling with an idea for optimizing state management on AMD CPUs,
I wanted to skip re-saving certain host state when a vCPU is scheduled back
in, as the state (theoretically) shouldn't change for the task while it's
scheduled out.  Actually doing that was annoying and unnecessarily brittle
due to having a separate API for the kvm_sched_in() case (the state save
needed to be in kvm_arch_vcpu_load() for the common path).

E.g. I could have set a "temporary"-ish flag somewhere in kvm_vcpu, but (a)
that's gross and (b) it would rely on the arbitrary ordering between
sched_in() and vcpu_load() staying the same.

The only real downside I see is that arm64 and riscv end up having to pass
"false" for their direct usage of kvm_arch_vcpu_load(), and passing boolean
literals isn't ideal.  But that can be solved by adding an inner helper that
omits the @sched_in param (I almost added a patch to do that, but I couldn't
convince myself it was necessary).

The other motivation for this is to avoid yet another arch hook, and more
arbitrary ordering, if there's a future need to hook kvm_sched_out() (we've
come close on the x86 side several times).

Sean Christopherson (4):
  KVM: Plumb in a @sched_in flag to kvm_arch_vcpu_load()
  KVM: VMX: Move PLE grow/shrink helpers above vmx_vcpu_load()
  KVM: x86: Fold kvm_arch_sched_in() into kvm_arch_vcpu_load()
  KVM: Delete the now unused kvm_arch_sched_in()
