[PATCH 18/35] KVM: SVM: Reset cr0 properly on vcpu reset

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

 



From: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@xxxxxxxxxx>

svm_vcpu_reset() was not properly resetting the contents of the guest-visible
cr0 register, causing the following issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525699

Without resetting cr0 properly, the vcpu was running the SIPI bootstrap routine
with paging enabled, making the vcpu get a pagefault exception while trying to
run it.

Instead of setting vmcb->save.cr0 directly, the new code just resets
kvm->arch.cr0 and calls kvm_set_cr0(). The bits that were set/cleared on
vmcb->save.cr0 (PG, WP, !CD, !NW) will be set properly by svm_set_cr0().

kvm_set_cr0() is used instead of calling svm_set_cr0() directly to make sure
kvm_mmu_reset_context() is called to reset the mmu to nonpaging mode.
