[PATCH 4.9 29/30] KVM: x86: emulator: update the emulation mode after CR0 write

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

 



From: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ad8f9e69942c7db90758d9d774157e53bce94840 upstream.

Update the emulation mode when handling writes to CR0, because
toggling CR0.PE switches between Real and Protected Mode, and toggling
CR0.PG when EFER.LME=1 switches between Long and Protected Mode.

This is likely a benign bug because there is no writeback of state,
other than the RIP increment, and when toggling CR0.PE, the CPU has
to execute code from a very low memory address.
