prepare_vmcs02() has an odd comment that says certain fields are "not in vmcs02". AFAICT the intent of the comment is to document that various VMCS fields are not handled by prepare_vmcs02(), e.g. HOST_{FS,GS}_{BASE,SELECTOR}. While technically true, the comment is misleading, e.g. it can lead the reader to think that KVM never writes those fields to vmcs02. Remove the comment altogether as the handling of FS and GS is not specific to nested VMX, and GUEST_PML_INDEX has been written by prepare_vmcs02() since commit "4e59516a12a6 (kvm: vmx: ensure VMCS is current while enabling PML)" Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> --- arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-)
