How KVM sync guest page table with corresponding shadow page table?

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

 



Hi all,

  If guest modify its guest page table entry, KVM should trap that event,
emulate what guest trying to do, and sync with the corresponding shadow
page table entry. Is my understanding correct? If so, does KVM use
something like mprotect to make guest page table read-only, or there is
another way? Besides, how KVM know what guest try to write into the
guest page table entry?

Regards,
