[PATCH v9 36/84] KVM: x86: disable gpa_available optimization for fetch and page-walk SPT violations

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

 



From: Mircea Cîrjaliu <mcirjaliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This change is needed because the introspection tool can write-protect
guest page tables or exec-protect heap/stack pages.
