While Razvan gave his ack already, I wonder whether it's really a
good idea to put deeply VMX-specific code outside of a VMX-specific
file.
Well, a summary of what this function does would sound like: "adjusts
CR3 load-exiting for cr-write monitor vm-events". IMHO that's (monitor)
vm-event specific enough to be placed within the vm-event subsystem.
Could you suggest concretely how this separation would look like? (where
to put this function/parts of it (and what parts), what name should it
have once moved).
I won't go into that level of detail. Fact is that VMX-specific code
should be kept out of here. Whether you move the entire function
behind a hvm_funcs hook or just part of it is of no interest to me.
In no case should, if and when SVM eventually gets supported for
vm-event/monitor too, this function end up doing both VMX and SVM
specific things.

Jan

Why move it behind a hvm_funcs hook if it's only valid for VMX? SVM support is not currently implemented, hence the ASSERT(cpu_has_vmx) at the beginning of the function. And of course if @ some point SVM support will be implemented then the right thing to do is what you say, i.e. make this function part of hvm_function_table, but until then I don't see why we should do that. Note that arch_monitor_get_capabilities also returns no capability at the moment if !cpu_has_vmx.

What if I move the vmx-specific parts to vmx.c in a function called something like vmx_vm_event_update_cr3_traps() and call it from write_ctrlreg_adjust_traps instead?...

Corneliu.
