Pivoting on ip==0 isn't correct, it's perfectly legal for a guest to execute from %rip=0. Unless there's some static_call() magic that supports this with a default function: if (unlikely(!static_call(x86_guest_get_ip)(&ip))) regs->ip + code_segment_base(regs) return ip; The easiest thing is keep the existing: if (unlikely(static_call(x86_guest_state)())) return static_call(x86_guest_get_ip)(); return regs->ip + code_segment_base(regs); It's an extra call for PMIs in guest, but I don't think any of the KVM folks care _that_ much about the performance in this case.
+ ip = regs->ip + code_segment_base(regs); - return regs->ip + code_segment_base(regs); + return ip; }
