Subject: [PATCH 10/16] xen: clear reserved bits in l3 entries given in the initial pagetables
Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 00:15:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243408538-21100-11-git-send-email-jeremy@goop.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1243408538-21100-1-git-send-email-jeremy@goop.org>

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.

[ Impact: workaround Xen bug in 32-on-64 dom0 ]
