Yes, and I mistakenly thought it would be done just by adjusting PT64_SECOND_AVAIL_BITS_SHIFT. I will test and send formally something like this: diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c index 6f92b40d798c..aa2d86f42b9a 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c @@ -405,11 +405,13 @@ static inline bool is_access_track_spte(u64 spte) } /* - * Due to limited space in PTEs, the MMIO generation is a 19 bit subset of + * Due to limited space in PTEs, the MMIO generation is a 18 bit subset of * the memslots generation and is derived as follows: * * Bits 0-8 of the MMIO generation are propagated to spte bits 3-11 - * Bits 9-18 of the MMIO generation are propagated to spte bits 52-61 + * Bits 9-17 of the MMIO generation are propagated to spte bits 54-62 * + * We don't use bit 63 to avoid conflicting with the SVE bit in EPT PTEs. + * * The KVM_MEMSLOT_GEN_UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS flag is intentionally not included in * the MMIO generation number, as doing so would require stealing a bit from @@ -418,15 +418,16 @@ static inline bool is_access_track_spte(u64 spte) * requires a full MMU zap).
