Tag to_vmx() and to_kvm_vmx() __always_inline as they both just reflect
the passed in pointer (the embedded struct is the first field in the
container), and drop the @vmx param from vmx_vcpu_enter_exit(), which
likely existed purely to make noinstr validation happy.
Amusingly, when the compiler decides to not inline the helpers, e.g. for
KASAN builds, to_vmx() and to_kvm_vmx() may end up pointing at the same
symbol, which generates very confusing objtool warnings. E.g. the use of
to_vmx() in a future patch led to objtool complaining about to_kvm_vmx(),
and only once all use of to_kvm_vmx() was commented out did to_vmx() pop
up in the obj tool report.

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.
