[PATCH kvm-unit-tests] access: change CR0/CR4/EFER before TLB flushes

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

 



After CR0/CR4/EFER changes a stale TLB entry can be observed, because MOV
to CR4 only invalidates TLB entries if CR4.SMEP is changed from 0 to 1.

The TLB is already flushed in ac_set_expected_status,
but if kvm-unit-tests is migrated to another CPU and CR4 is
changed after the flush, a stale entry can be used.
