This means the title is misleading. But it raises efficiency questions: Is it really necessary to do it this often? In patch 7 you handle reads and writes to the MSRs, but you don't disable the MSR intercepts (and judging from their titles no other patch is a candidate where you might do that). If all writes are seen by Xen, why would you need to read all the MSRs here, when the majority is - afaict - not modified by hardware? > +void ipt_guest_enter(struct vcpu *v) > +{ > + struct ipt_desc *ipt = v->arch.hvm_vmx.ipt_desc; const > + if ( !ipt ) > + return; Would seem better to put the check outside the call, so no call would be made at all in the common case. > + /* > + * Need re-initialize the guest state of IA32_RTIT_CTL > + * When this vcpu be scheduled to another Physical CPU. > + * TBD: Performance optimization.

Also please use the type of variables or expressions in scope instead of type names. And please get indentation right (won't be visible below anymore).

And no full stop in log messages please (again with very few exceptions).
