I add printk before kvm_mmu_reset_context(vcpu), correct? get following value:


Add it at the beginning please, otherwise we'll miss the important one due to an early return.


No need actually:

[ 3228.468325] efer_reserved_bits = 0xfffffffffffffafe


Bit 11 is reserved, so the guest can't enable nx.

From arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c:
static __init int hardware_setup(void)
{
    if (setup_vmcs_config(&vmcs_config) < 0)
        return -EIO;

    if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_NX))
        kvm_enable_efer_bits(EFER_NX);


Please patch hardware_setup() to show the value of boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_NX).
