[PATCH v2 14/17] KVM: x86: Defer the MMU unload to the normal path on an global INVPCID

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

 



Defer unloading the MMU after a INVPCID until the instruction emulation
has completed, i.e. until after RIP has been updated.

On VMX, this is a benign bug as VMX doesn't touch the MMU when skipping
an emulated instruction.  However, on SVM, if nrip is disabled, the
emulator is used to skip an instruction, which would lead to fireworks
if the emulator were invoked without a valid MMU.
