[PATCH V4 2/7] KVM, pkeys: disable pkeys for guests in non-paging mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Pkeys is disabled if CPU is in non-paging mode in hardware. However KVM
always uses paging mode to emulate guest non-paging, mode with TDP. To
emulate this behavior, pkeys needs to be manually disabled when guest
switches to non-paging mode.
