Sean Christopherson 250091409a KVM: SVM: Unconditionally sync GPRs to GHCB on VMRUN of SEV-ES guest
Drop the per-GPR dirty checks when synchronizing GPRs to the GHCB, the
GRPs' dirty bits are set from time zero and never cleared, i.e. will
always be seen as dirty.  The obvious alternative would be to clear
the dirty bits when appropriate, but removing the dirty checks is
desirable as it allows reverting GPR dirty+available tracking, which
adds overhead to all flavors of x86 VMs.

Note, unconditionally writing the GPRs in the GHCB is tacitly allowed
by the GHCB spec, which allows the hypervisor (or guest) to provide
unnecessary info; it's the guest's responsibility to consume only what
it needs (the hypervisor is untrusted after all).

  The guest and hypervisor can supply additional state if desired but
  must not rely on that additional state being provided.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
