[PATCH 01/23] KVM: MMU: pass uses_nx directly to reset_shadow_zero_bits_mask

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

 



reset_shadow_zero_bits_mask has a very unintuitive way of deciding
whether the shadow pages will use the NX bit.  The function is used in
two cases, shadow paging and shadow NPT; shadow paging has a use for
EFER.NX and needs to force it enabled, while shadow NPT only needs it
depending on L1's setting.

The actual root problem here is that is_efer_nx, despite being part
of the "base" role, only matches the format of the shadow pages in the
NPT case.  For now, just remove the ugly variable initialization and move
the call to reset_shadow_zero_bits_mask out of shadow_mmu_init_context.
The parameter can then be removed after the root problem in the role
is fixed.
