[PATCH 01/12] KVM: x86: host-initiated EFER.LME write affects the MMU

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

 



While the guest runs, EFER.LME cannot change unless CR0.PG is clear, and therefore
EFER.NX is the only bit that can affect the MMU role.  However, set_efer accepts
a host-initiated change to EFER.LME even with CR0.PG=1.  In that case, the
MMU has to be reset.

Fixes: 11988499e62b ("KVM: x86: Skip EFER vs. guest CPUID checks for host-initiated writes")
