[PATCH 2/2] kvm: Enable CPU SMEP feature

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

 



From: "Yang, Wei Y" <wei.y.yang@xxxxxxxxx>

This patchset enables a new CPU feature SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution
Protection) in QEMU-KVM. SMEP prevents kernel from executing code in application.
Updated Intel SDM describes this CPU feature. The document will be published soon.

SMEP is identified by CPUID leaf 7 EBX[7], which is 0 before. Get the right value by query KVM kernel module, so that guest can get SMEP through CPUID.
