The quote from the comment almost says it all: we are currently zeroing the guest dr6 in kvm_arch_vcpu_put, because do_debug expects it. However, the host %dr6 is either: - zero because the guest hasn't run after kvm_arch_vcpu_load - written from vcpu->arch.dr6 by vcpu_enter_guest - written by the guest and copied to vcpu->arch.dr6 by ->sync_dirty_debug_regs(). Therefore, we can skip the write if vcpu->arch.dr6 is already zero. We may do extra useless writes if vcpu->arch.dr6 is nonzero but the guest hasn't run; however that is less important for performance. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
