Oops, you missed one here.  Probably best to use ctxt_virt_addr_bits and
then "inline" emul_is_noncanonical_address as "get_canonical(la,
va_bits) != la".
Sorry, I just sent out the v2 patch set without noticing this reply. :-)

The emul_is_noncanonical() is defined in x86.h so that no
ctxt_virt_addr_bits needed in emulate.c, are you
suggesting to use ctx_virt_addr_bits in this file each time before
emul_is_noncanonical_address() is called?
No, only in this instance which uses "48" after the call to
emul_is_noncanonical_address.

Sorry, Paolo. I still do not quite get it.
Do you mean the
 *max_size = min_t(u64, ~0u, (1ull << 48) - la);
also need to be changed?

But I do not understand why this statement is used like this. My understanding is that for 64 bit scenario, the *max_size is calculated to guarantee la + *max_size still falls in
the canonical address space.

And if above understanding is correct, I think it should be something like below:
  *max_size = min_t(u64, ~0u - la, (1ull << 48) - la);

And with LA57, may better be changed to:
*max_size = min_t(u64, ~0u - la, (1ull << ctxt_virt_addr_bits(ctxt)) - la);

And for the above
  if (emul_is_noncanonical_address(la, ctxt))
we may just leave it as it is.

Is this understanding correct? Or did I misunderstand your comments? :-)

Thanks
Yu
Paolo
