Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: nested/x86: update trace_kvm_nested_vmrun()
 to suppot VMX

If we want to add a unique identifier for nested x86, use "KVM: x86/nested:" to
align with the MMU and to make `grep "KVM: x86"` viable.  Ideally, we'd align with
nVMX and nSVM, but nx86 is pretty gross and looks like a typo.

I have a slight preference for using a plain "KVM: x86:", as I suspect we'll never
have enough common nested to make it worth differentiating, but I've no objection
if you want to go with "KVM: x86/nested:".

Adding a new field that's not related to the VMX vs. SVM change belongs in a
separate patch.

I think it makes sense to rename this to kvm_nested_vmenter.  VMRUN is SVM-only,
and tracepoints aren't ABI.

s/npt_enabled/tdp_enabled, or maybe ntdp_enabled?

> +		__field(	__u64,		npt_addr	)

Hmm, either

  s/npt_addr/nested_pgd

or 

  s/npt_addr/guest_pgd

"npt_addr" or "tdp_addr" is too ambiguous, e.g. it can be interpreted as the address
of a TDP page fault.

My vote would be for "guest_pgd" and then pass in the non-nested CR3 when L1 isn't
using nTDP.

This needs to explicitly print "nTDP on/off".  As proposed, "nested ept/npt: %addr"
doesn't capture that.  (a) addr=0 is perfectly legal, and (b) addr!=0 is also legal
if nTDP isn't enabled, i.e. a non-zero nested_cr3/eptp is ignore by hardware
