Subject: [PATCH 12/19] xen: clear reserved bits in l3 entries given in the initial pagetables
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2009 15:46:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0b79be113b42a033f3b3ca4d4f3ca4035c8a7bf5.1234826723.git.jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2fe9663efa1686898ebf9d28e911daac3185b6b7.1234826723.git.jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1234826723.git.jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>
In native PAE, the only flag that may be legitimately set in an L3
entry is Present. When Xen grafts the top-level PAE L3 pagetable
entries into the L4 pagetable, it must also set the other permissions
flags so that the mapped pages are actually accessible.
However, due to a bug in the hypervisor, it validates update to the L3
entries as formal PAE entries, so it will refuse to validate these
entries with the extra bits requires for 4-level pagetables.
This patch simply masks the entries back to the bare PAE level,
leaving Xen to add whatever bits it feels are necessary.
