This series fix reserved bits related calculation errors caused by MKTME. MKTME
repurposes high bits of physical address bits as 'keyID' thus they are not
reserved bits, and to honor such HW behavior those reduced bits are taken away
from boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits when MKTME is detected (exactly how many bits
are taken away is configured by BIOS). Currently KVM asssumes bits from
boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to 51 are reserved bits, which is not true anymore
with MKTME, and needs fix.
This series was splitted from the old patch I sent out around 2 weeks ago:
kvm: x86: Fix several SPTE mask calculation errors caused by MKTME
Changes to old patch:
- splitted one patch into two patches. First patch is to move
kvm_set_mmio_spte_mask() as prerequisite. It doesn't impact functionality.
Patch 2 does the real fix.
- renamed shadow_first_rsvd_bits to shadow_phys_bits suggested by Sean.
- refined comments and commit msg to be more concise.
Btw sorry that I will be out next week and won't be able to reply email.
