[PATCH] KVM: x86: Reinitialize context if host userspace toggles EFER.LME

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

 



While the guest runs, EFER.LME cannot change unless CR0.PG is clear, and
therefore EFER.NX is the only bit that can affect the MMU role.  However,
set_efer accepts a host-initiated change to EFER.LME even with CR0.PG=1.
In that case, the MMU has to be reset.
