[PATCH v3 12/13] KVM: x86: SVM: don't save SVM state to SMRAM when VM is not long mode capable

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

 



When the guest CPUID doesn't have support for long mode, 32 bit SMRAM
layout is used and it has no support for preserving EFER and/or SVM
state.

Note that this isn't relevant to running 32 bit guests on VM which is
long mode capable - such VM can still run 32 bit guests in compatibility
mode.
