[PATCH 5/5] KVM: VMX: Atomically switch efer if EPT && !EFER.NX

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

 



When EPT is enabled, we cannot emulate EFER.NX=0 through the shadow page
tables.  This causes accesses through ptes with bit 63 set to succeed instead
of failing a reserved bit check.
