Providing a helper function to update HOST_RSP is visibly easier to read, and more importantly (for the future) eliminates two arguments to the VM-Enter assembly blob. Reducing the number of arguments to the asm blob is for all intents and purposes a prerequisite to moving the code to a proper assembly routine. It's not truly mandatory, but it greatly simplifies the future code, and the cost of the extra CALL+RET is negligible in the grand scheme. Note that although _ASM_ARG[1-3] can be used in the inline asm itself, the intput/output constraints need to be manually defined. gcc will actually compile with _ASM_ARG[1-3] specified as constraints, but what it actually ends up doing with the bogus constraint is unknown.

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.
