[PATCH 13/22] KVM: x86/mmu: store shadow EFER.NX in the MMU role

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

 



Now that the MMU role is separate from the CPU role, it can be a
truthful description of the format of the shadow pages.  This includes
whether the shadow pages use the NX bit; so force the efer_nx field
of the MMU role when TDP is disabled, and remove the hardcoding it in
the callers of reset_shadow_zero_bits_mask.

In fact, the initialization of reserved SPTE bits can now be made common
to shadow paging and shadow NPT; move it to shadow_mmu_init_context.
