    KVM: x86: Remove redundant vm_entry_controls_clearbit() call · 4335edbb
    Zhenzhong Duan authored
    When emulating exit from long mode, EFER_LMA is cleared with
    vmx_set_efer().  This will already unset the VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE control
    bit as requested by SDM, so there is no need to unset VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE
    again in exit_lmode() explicitly.  In case EFER isn't supported by
    hardware, long mode isn't supported, so exit_lmode() cannot be reached.
    
    Note that, thanks to the shadow controls mechanism, this change doesn't
    eliminate vmread or vmwrite.
