KVM: Remove redundant reading of rax on OUT instructions
kvm_emulate_pio() and complete_pio() both read out the RAX register value and copy it to a place into which the value read out from the port will be copied later. This patch removes this redundancy. /*** snippet from arch/x86/kvm/x86.c ***/ int complete_pio(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) { ... if (!io->string) { if (io->in) { val = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RAX); memcpy(&val, vcpu->arch.pio_data, io->size); kvm_register_write(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RAX, val); } ...
