Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: MMU: fix reserved bit check for pte.u=0/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0/CR4.SMEP=1/EFER.NX=0
Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 12:44:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457437467-65707-3-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1457437467-65707-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>
KVM handles supervisor writes of a pte.u=0/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0 page by
setting U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE. This will cause a user write
to fault and a supervisor write to succeed (which is correct because
CR0.WP=0). A user read instead will flip U=0 to 1 and W=1 back to 0.
This enables user reads; it also disables supervisor writes, the next
of which will then flip the bits again.
When SMEP is in effect, however, pte.u=0 will enable kernel execution
of this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets pte.nx=1. The reserved bit
catches this because it only looks at the guest's EFER.NX bit. Teach it
that smep_andnot_wp will also use the NX bit of SPTEs.
