Subject: [PATCH] KVM: svm: remove KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED quirk
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2015 14:01:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436529693-9743-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
We can disable CD unconditionally when there is no assigned device.
KVM now forces guest PAT to all-writeback in that case, so it makes
sense to also force CR0.CD=0.
When there are assigned devices, emulate cache-disabled operation
through the page tables. This behavior is consistent with VMX,
where CD/NW are not touched by vmentry/vmexit.
Note that buggy firmware that does not clear CD/NW is _seriously_
old: SeaBIOS for example has been doing it since October 2008.
