[PATCH] KVM: SVM: Use 'unsigned long' for the physical address passed to VMSAVE

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

 



Take an 'unsigned long' instead of 'hpa_t' in the recently added vmsave()
helper, as loading a 64-bit GPR isn't possible in 32-bit mode.  This is
properly reflected in the SVM ISA, which explicitly states that VMSAVE,
VMLOAD, VMRUN, etc... consume rAX based on the effective address size.

Don't bother with a WARN to detect breakage on 32-bit KVM, the VMCB PA is
stored as an 'unsigned long', i.e. the bad address is long since gone.
Not to mention that a 32-bit kernel is completely hosed if alloc_page()
hands out pages in high memory.
