Commit adc2a23734ac ("KVM: nSVM: improve SYSENTER emulation on AMD"), made init_vmcb set vmload/vmsave intercepts unconditionally, and relied on svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid to clear them when possible. However init_vmcb is also called when the vCPU is reset, and it is not followed by another call to svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid because the CPUID is already set. This mistake makes the VMSAVE/VMLOAD intercept to be set when it is not needed, and harms performance of the nested guest. Extract the relevant parts of svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid so that they can be called again on reset.

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.
