Subject: [PATCH 17/27] KVM: nVMX: pass PFERR_USER_MASK to MMU on EPT violations
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 11:42:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408154217.458420-18-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408154217.458420-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
For EPT, PFERR_USER_MASK refers not to the CPL of the guest,
but to the AND of the U bits encountered while walking guest
page tables; this is consistent with how MBEC differentiates
between XS and XU. This is available through the
"advanced vmexit information for EPT violations" feature.
