Subject: [PATCH V3 1/4] KVM: x86: Widen x86_exception's error_code to 64 bits
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:10:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313071033.4153209-2-chengkev@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313071033.4153209-1-chengkev@google.com>
Widen the error_code field in struct x86_exception from u16 to u64 to
accommodate AMD's NPF error code, which defines information bits above
bit 31, e.g. PFERR_GUEST_FINAL_MASK (bit 32), and PFERR_GUEST_PAGE_MASK
(bit 33).
Retain the u16 type for the local errcode variable in walk_addr_generic
as the walker synthesizes conventional #PF error codes that are
architecturally limited to bits 15:0.
